Welcome to City Knits
 
By the time you read this, hubby Larry and I will be in California indulging in "forced family fun" and celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary. You can get a headstart knitting my  spring cable wrap cardi from the Summer '09 Interweave Knits. There is a free pdf online of the Grotto Wrap at http://www.knittingdaily.com/blogs/patterns/archive/2009/04/15/grotto-wrap.asp.
 
My wonderful staff has embarked on Deep Spring Cleaning so stay tuned for the April '09 version of "The Boss is Away Sale."  When I'm not here to restrain them, my staff can get crazy, so come scoop up the goodies, they have marked down - detailed below - before I get back. 

New Spring/Summer Hours and New Class Offerings round out this issue of Urban Purls.

Thanks to you all for supporting City Knits.
