June is bustin' out all over

In knitting shops the summer months are usually quiet. Shop owners will busy themselves making samples, drinking iced tea and posting to their blogs. This June we will be getting our new shop space ready and moving the last week of June to the other end of this building. We'll still be at 5204 Kingston Pike but in Suite #1. The new space is twice as big as this shop so we will be able to spread out a little and have a small classroom for messy crafts like wet felting, nuno felting and dyeing.
We also will have new employees: Shelley Hecht, a knitter with lots of experience and if you don't already know her, I think you''ll find her gentle ways and love of the craft inspiring. Jessica Hamilton will be here for July and August. She is a fiber arts major at Berea College and will be our gal Friday helping with the move and teaching Kids Kamp. She is also looking forward to working with adults as well so watch for opportunities to see what younger knitters have to share.

As Promised ...

Here's the quick knit topdown baby sweater out of Universal yarn, Tapestry, in a bright self patterning red. It looks a lot like a red sweater all my kid's wore as toddlers so I knitting it brings back sweet memories of Natalie, Steven and James.

We've decided it would be fun for others to join us in a summer knit-along. Our pattern of choice may be made for an adult or child. Take a look at our Summer Class Schedule and join in on the fun!
