Greetings!

We received feedback that our last newsletter was hard to read. I'm trying a different template that doesn't have any background hoping this will make it easier.
 
Happy Knitting and Crocheting,

The Principles of Knitting

June Hemmons Hiatt
principles of knitting
From Simon and Schuster

"A word-of-mouth phenomenon since its original publication, with a passionate and loyal following, The Principles of Knitting has served as a treasured resource for an entire generation of knitters. Now completely revised and updated, this long-awaited new edition contains indispensable information for every knitter, from the beginner to the most experienced, on all aspects of the craft.

Written in clear, direct language, The Principles of Knitting is like having a knitting mentor by your side, ready to answer any question in a comprehensive, reasoned, and informed manner. June Hemmons Hiatt includes instructions for all facets of knitting, from the most basic skills to the most advanced techniques, and offers suggestions for best practices as well as alternatives and innovations.

The Principles of Knitting provides the inspiration and instruction to help every knitter gain the knowledge and confidence needed to produce unique, beautifully crafted garments, accessories, and household items. It is the one reference guide no knitter should be without."

A Really Good Yarn
Julie's Blog
Blog might be a new term to you. It is like a daily diary. I try to blog every day. Posts can include pictures of what I am knitting, new arrivals in the store, knitting gossip and sometimes there will be tidbits from my personal life.

Road Construction
Wilson Street W, Ancaster
There is construction on Wilson Street in Ancaster but at the other end of town from us. Wilson Street is closed from Fiddlers Green to Halson. 

Our end of Wilson Street has no construction on it.

If you are coming from the west on the 403

Take the Wilson Street exit
Turn left on Wilson

Follow the signs for D2

Turn left on Fiddlers Green
Turn right on Jerseyville 
Turn left on Lovers Lane
Turn right on Sulphur Springs
Turn left on Wilson

If you are coming from Hamilton/Dundas or from the east on the 403 you will not be affected by the road work.
