Jean Knapp will be teaching an introduction to Fair Isle knitting this month. You will be making our Felted Fair Isle Purse. The class will be Saturday April 14th and 28th from 1-3pm. The cost of the class is $40 plus materials. You can purchase a kit for this project for $35 extra or you can put your own custom colors together from our selection of Naturespun Worsted.

You can sign up for the class by emailing me at alissa@knittingfairy.com or calling the shop at (214)412-2889. Payment is due at the time of registration for the class. Materials or kits can be purchased on or before the day of class.

Getting back to the shop has been quite a chore but Meagan, Betty Kay and I have finally gotten it all set back up, ready and waiting for you to come shop.  We did move things around (never miss a chance for a good spring cleaning!) so be sure to check around when you come in.

We have replaced our winter display of wooly-goodness with some light, summery cottons.  All 10 brand new colors of Riveting Sport from Kollage Yarns have just arrived and there is a display of Classic Elite‘s Seedling.  Meagan wore a Seedling sweater during FiberFest and loved it so much that she has been busy making plans for all the other sweaters she wants to knit as well.  I just finished a sweater in Ty-Dy cotton from Knit One, Crochet Too.  I made the Tee for Two sweater and I just love how it has come out.  A little washing and blocking and you will be able to see me wearing it around the shop.

Just before FiberFest I finished a lacy sweater in Cascade’s Ultra Pima DK.  The colors on this yarn are just amazing and it was very comfortable to wear.  I am trying to decide what I am going to cast on for next… Meagan thinks I should knit her a sweater in Ultra Pima.  I haven’t come up with any great plans yet so I am just plugging along on my Beekeeper’s Quilt.  My sister tells me that my nephew needs a new sweater for the coming winter and he has gotten so big that he cannot fit under his baby blanket anymore (hint hint).  I see lots of little boy knitting coming soon.

Since we are transporting much of our yarny goodness to the show floor, the shop itself will be closed Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (March 29th through April 1st).

You can come see us at the show – its not too late to get a pass for the vendor hall! We’ll have an elite collection of our inventory plus a few surprises and new stuff, too! Come see us there!

The shop will re-open for its regular hours on Thursday, April 5 at 1pm.

Thanks and hope to see you at Fiber Fest! http://www.dfwfiberfest.com/

We will be open for normal hours on Sunday, March 18: noon to 4pm with Stitchin at the Studio from 1-4pm.

Mary will be opening up the sign-up list soon for the 2013 retreat (Feb 14, 15, 16 1nd 17, 2013) , so be sure to watch her blog for details if you don’t want to miss out.  I am already planning to be there and co-sponsoring the event again and I look forward to seeing you there!
