We will be starting the season with a three day Christmas Open House,  starting Thursday, November 20^th and continue  thru Saturday, November 22^nd. 

We will be offering Mystery Discounts up to 30%, door prizes and of course a cup of coffee, cider and other goodies.

Time to get going started on those Christmas Projects.

Some suggestions: socks, hats, mittens, sweaters, Christmas stockings, felted bags with the sky being the limit for ideas.

We will have a gift registry, make up Gift Baskets and of course Gift Certificates are always available to make it easier for your loved ones to get you just what you want. 

Hello!  It does not seem possible that the summer is over, the kids are back to school, the leaves are turning and soon the weather will change.  The holidays are not far off and it is time to be thinking of your Christmas Gift giving.  We are adding social knitting on Fridays at 10:00 to noon for those of you that cannot join us on Thursday evening.  Gather your projects and come join us for a sharing of ideas.  We try to keep up with new samples and would love to have you stop in to check us out.

We will be offering classes in finishing, blocking as well as beginning.  Call and set up a date, if you have an interest.  Due to space will hold classes to six students.  Please register early in case I have to order yarn for your project.

While you are here stop in to my new neighbor “Denim & Things” a consignment and gift shop.

New Yarn:

I have ordered Malibringo Yarn in ten different colors to be shipped after the first of the year.  Stop in and see the sample shawl which Gwen so graciously lent me for show.  She is willing to teach the entralac that is shown in this shawl after tax season.

Also, coming after first of year is Mira Mira which is made by Plymouth comes in several colors with a glitter. Our sweater class in February will be with this yarn and a pattern especially for this yarn.  We do have the yarn in purple at this time.  We will have a sample of this sweater soon. 

Cherry Tree Hill Yarn has become a very popular.  We have yarn in sock, worsted and bulky weight in both solid and variegated colors.

I have not yet visiting Harrisville Mills in Harrisville, New Hampshire to check out the mill and add their yarn to my line.  They also make spinning wheels and looms of all sizes.  Plan to do this with the next month.

I want to give a special thank you to Kathy for teaching the beaded scarf class to twelve ladies; each with a different color yarn and beads.  They were beautiful.  I have given her another beaded scarf pattern called River Rocks and hope she will again teach this one.

I plan to have a show and tell.  Gather up items you have made or designed.  We have some very talented people out there.

Again, Kathy has several beautiful bags two of my favorite (1) looks like a cathedral window (a bag with holes that show a bright fabric lining through them). And (2) a felted bag that is knitted to look light a quilt block and is lined with pretty fabric.

I don’t know where the year has gone since I opened in February.  The Holidays are fast approaching.  Are you ready?  Are your projects done and wrapped (just kidding).  You are probably like me and knitting up a storm to get ready for the holidays.

I’ve restocked the Lopi, Green Mountain Spinnery, Brown Sheep, Cascade, Crystal Palace, Noro and Debbie Bliss.

I have recently added Cherry Tree Hill yarn to my line including sock, bulky and worsted weight and also a worsted weight yarn that has a glitter to it.  I will be visiting Harrisville Mills in Harrisville, New Hampshire to check out the mill and add their yarn to my line.  They also make spinning wheels and looms of all sizes.

We are excited to begin offering classes again after the first of the year.  Classes are generally on Saturdays or Thursday evenings.  Please call or e-mail us and let us know what you would like to see offered.  Classes will be posted on my web site (stitchywomen.com).
