Dear Friends,
                                                         BIG NEWS!
We have added store hours for your convenience!
The store will be open on SUNDAYS from noon to 4pm! Also, please notice that our Thursday hours have been extended to 8:30pm because of our stitch-ins.
Speaking of stitch-ins, if you don’t already know about the ones that we have, then read on! Every Wednesday, between 10am and 3pm we have our daytime stitch-in. This is a good time for you to meet new people and/or get help with a project that you’re working on. On Thursdays from 6:30pm-8:30pm is our night time stitch-in. About twice a month, we have a FREE CLINIC where techniques or a project is taught, plus we have lots of fun!! If we don’t have your e-mail address, then PLEASE give it to us so you can receive notices of these CLINICS.
Do you know that needlework is therapy? Plus, while we are working on our “therapy” we’re creating works of art, that are one of a kind! So, do yourself a favor this summer--kick off your shoes and get yourself some “stitchin’ therapy.” We’re here to help you. I guess you can call us the therapists? Nah! Just your friendly needlework shop that carries the therapy!!!
See you all soon!
     Love,
         Ginny

HELPFUL HINT
This is one that I have put in my newsletter before, but I thought it was worth repeating. If you made a mistake several rows down on a knitting project, then there’s 2 things that you can do: either FROG it (rip-it, rip-it) or you can knit to the stitch where the error occured and remove it from the needle. Then pull on the stitch until you get to your boo-boo and then correct it.
Several years ago while Steve and I were on a plane to our convention, I was knitting a sweater and I realized that an error occured many inches down. So I took the stitches off the needle and started ripping it out---then I realized that all I had to do was go to that stitch on my needle, take it off the needle, and rip the stitch down to the error and correct it. Needless to say, I wasn’t upset because I taught myself something new and I am able to pass this info to you!! So, if you make a boo-boo, don’t fret, knit to the stitch and correct it. This saves you LOTS of time re-knitting!!
