Dear Fiber Friends,

Hurry in Saturday if you need something for early next week. Thanks to "springing forward" there is now a little a day light in the evening for our stitching pleasure. I could enjoy it if my body weren't so cranky about the hour of sleep I lost last Sunday.  Seems like that hour came right out of my knitting team. 

Check out our March Yarn - of the Month.  City Knits has grown up with the Misti Alpaca Line, and we are thrilled to watch them add wonderful new fiber blends and sublime colors in both solids and handpaints.  It is NOT too early to begin planning for the best Handmade Holidays ever in 2009, so be savvy and pick-up some of the wonderfully soft Baby Alpaca Chunky and get a head start on next December's gift giving.

On the other hand, Misti's Pima Cotton Silk Blend on sale let's you treat yourself to a fab summer sweater at a real discount.  Hurry in while we still have a sweater's worth in your favorite color . . . .

We are all celebrating a wedding . . . We have successfully "married" the databases between the Fisher Building and Mt. Clemens.  For you, our faithful customers, that means faster, more accurate answers as to whether we have the yarn of your dreams available "from the other store."  There is still some counting and tweaking to be done; nevertheless, Amy H is as happy and relieved as the Mother of the Bride, after the wedding.  Give her a high five or even a hug for a job well done. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day, and Happy Stitching.

The Misti Alpaca Sale is great opportunity to get a start on the Mother's Day gift. Karen will be teaching 2 Sox on Circs, on March 26, April 9 & April 16 with their sumptuous sock yarn. [class schedule details]. The lace weight makes amazing shawls, and the Suri Alpaca Silk blend in DK is to die for.  We have lots of great "one skein" project ideas. Our staff at either location will be happy to assist you with getting the perfect yarn for your perfect project with your selection choices.
Sincerely,
Karen and the City Knits Staff
