We had a great time at our first meeting of the Knitting Fairy Book Club yesterday! We read Casting Off by Nicole R. Dickson.  Betty Kay did a great job leading us through a discussion of the book and ganseys, traditional or otherwise. I find myself wanting to knit cables.

August’s selection is The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club.  We are meeting the last Thursday of the month, so August 26th, from 1-2pm. It’s a great opportunity to read a good book, bring your knitting and enjoy the community of knitters that gather here at Knitting Fairy.

Last chance on Brooks Farm Yarn

  • Posted on July 17, 2010 at 9:49 am

Stitchin’ at the Studio happens this Sunday from 1-4pm. Bring your yarn, bring a friend and come stitch with us in the air conditioned comfort of the Knitting Fairy Yarn Studio.

The trunk show from Brooks Farm Yarn is still on display while Sherry and the gang are at Midwest Folk and Fiber Festival – so take advantage while you can and shop this great opportunity. We still have a very nice amount of Solo Silk and Acero because Sherry is AWESOME and dyed up 144 skeins for us before she left!

Hope to see you this weekend,

Alissa

Dear Yarny friends,

We are so happy to be in our new home and we want to welcome you too.  I hope you will join us this Saturday, July 10th from 12-5pm for our Grand Opening Party.  The grill will be going (Thanks, John!) and the studio will be rockin’! Come by, eat, shop and check out our new digs.  We will start serving food at Noon and go until it is gone! The yarn studio will be open for your shopping pleasure and we have a few surprises in store for you as well.  The icing on our Grand Opening cake is a very special Trunk Show from our friends at Brooks Farm Yarns! Sherry, who does not sell to shops, has agreed to let us have a peek into the closet and has dyed 12 special colorways of Acero and 10 Solo Silk that you will never see again.  There are 6 skeins of each color – so plan to get there early for the best selection!

Of course, we have other yarns too and goodies sure to please any fiber-crafter.

The Studio is open for our regular business hours, so there is no need to wait until Saturday unless you have a hankerin’ for John’s cooking…

We are open:

Thursday 1-9pm  (Drop-in Knitting Class from 7-9pm $10/person)

Friday 12-5pm

Saturday 12-5pm – FOOD and FUN!

Sunday 12-4pm – Stitchin’ at the Studio from 1-4pm

Monday-Wednesday by appointment only – give us a call if you need help.

Making it a home.

We have been working like crazy since our return from Michigan, trying to make this new space our home.  The front entry has a fireplace, nice and cozy! Today the guys worked at putting up our slat walls so I can hang needles.  It’s looking good.  Just a few more hooks…

IMG_3165

The yarn room is shaping up nicely and with more boxes on the way it should soon be bursting at the seams.

IMG_3166

I did manage to bring back some nifty new hand-dyed yarns from Patrice at the Accidental Knitter.  If you have never worked with her yarns you are in for quite a treat!

I have saved the very best for last… our new – GIGANTIC classroom! We will have plenty of space for class and then some.

We are having a party on July 10th to celebrate our Grand Opening! Please come by, enjoy some good food and check out the new digs for yourself.  We will be here from 12-5pm.  The food will be served starting at noon until it runs out.  There will be some special surprises too…   Hope to see you there.

Please note: We will be closed on Sunday, July 4th for Independence Day.  We wish you a safe and happy 4th!

New Tab

It is always a struggle to come up with the best way to keep in contact with friends and customers.  I try to keep this blog current, but having to sort through every post to find studio hours and class dates is annoying for ME, I can’t imagine why you would want to do it.  I have searched and searched for a calendar widget for this blog but I don’t find anything I like.  Today while brainstorming with Brad over the problem we hit upon a possible answer.  Create a separate tab up at the top of this screen for a CALENDAR! Novel, no?  So, when you want to see if we will be open the day before Memorial day (we will!), you just have to check this blog and click the “Calendar” tab!  Could it really be this easy? I hope so.  Let me know how it works for you, please?
