New Year!

The holiday season really came and went very quickly this year!! Of course no holiday season goes by without it's share of mishaps!!

As some of you already know, Gail Gelin has left Knit Pickings as an instructor. It was a very difficult time for all of us as we really enjoyed learning from Gail's many talents. We wish her well on her new endeavors!

Change can be very difficult. We understand that! Some of Gail's students have decided to take a break from the project of choice classes. So, we now have openings on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Terry Campbell will be taking over the Thursday class from 7-9 PM. She is a wonderful teacher and person. Terry's favorite part of knitting is the finishing. I know, can you believe it?!! She is a master @ finishing. In fact, Terry also repairs and finishes other folks garments. She has been knitting for 30 years+ and is an experience knitter. Her work is beautiful. Terry also spins and sews. She can even put in those pesky zippers!! I am blessed to have found Terry!!

Vicki White and I will be sharing the Wednesday class for a bit. The plan is for Vicki to take it over down the road. Vicki has been with me from the start of the shop in 2006. She also has been knitting 30 years + an is an experience Knitter! Vicki's favorite knitting is cables! Vicki spins and weaves as well. I do have talented staff!!!

New yarns and accessories arrive each week. So, you might miss new things if you don't stop in often! Just kidding!!

New this week is Jade Sapphire cashmere scarf kits. Each kit contains 4 skeins of cashmere yarns and seven different scarf patterns. We do have a beautiful sample scarf that you will see the staff and I wearing. Cost of the kits are $99.00 for 100% cashmere!

We also have go knits new sterling silver stitch marker charms necklace. The necklace is a black cord with stitch markers of various shapes and sizes. It is beautiful and functional. They sell for $36.00.

Spring yarns will be arriving soon as well so stay tuned for New arrivals.
