#1 - Try New Things
We're not talking sky diving or running a marathon-- instead we challenge you to learn a new technique, pick up a project you've
never done, or knit with a yarn you've never used before. We have a long list of classes, so whether
you want to knit your first pair of socks, learn to cable, or perfect your
crocheting skills we've got you covered. |
#2 - Meet New People
We've built a great community of knitters and crocheters who love to share ideas, patterns, and stories. Join us for a Group Therapy session (every Thursday night from 6-8pm) or become a part of the Gulf Coast Crochet Guild (that meets the first Saturday of every month from 11:30am - 1:30pm). Also, join us for our MaggiKnits workshop weekend happening January 29 -31 and add a knitting legend to your list of friends! |
#3 - Give Back to the Community
Share your knitting and crocheting talents with those in need. Join us every Saturday from 1:00 - 3:00pm for Charity Knitting to create chemo caps and scarves to donate to All Children's Hospital. We've got free patterns, so all you need to bring are your needles, yarn, and a whole lot of love! If you can't make it to one of our charity knitting sessions, buy an extra skein next time you're in the store and donate it to those who knit with us on Saturdays. |

Happy New Year !
Can you believe we've been open 4 months?! Time flies when you're having fun! I couldn't be more excited for the New Year. Your warm welcome into the Sarasota knitting community, not to mention your enthusiasm for yarn, has inspired us to double our class schedule, host exciting events and expand our yarn offerings. We can't wait to share it all with YOU! Check our class schedule and event calendar often and follow us on Facebook to stay in the loop with all the happenings. We've also posted some fun New Year's resolutions for you below - we know you'll have no problem keeping these.
Hope to see you soon,
Susan, A Good Yarn

#4 - Get Organized
We all have a knitting closet, drawer, or stash somewhere in the house that may be a little out of control (don't deny it...we know you do). Come start the year off right and get organized at our Yarn Swap on January 7th from 6-8pm. Take advantage of our finishing services or sign up for a finishing class and finally complete the projects you have lying around.

#5 - Knit More
With all the classes, events, friends and yarn at A Good Yarn, this is one resolution easy to keep! Make it a habit to join us at Group Therapy on Thursdays and Charity Knitting on Saturdays. Pledge to take a new class or teach a friend to knit. To help make this resolution possible, starting January 4th through the end of March, we'll be open on Mondays from 10:00 am - 4:00pm. We've got great classes, events and fun for our brand new Mondays and we hope to see you there!

Group Therapy / Yarn Stash Swap
6-8pm
Join us for our first annual Yarn Stash Swap.
The moment of truth happens when you open your drawers or closets and see all that yarn you once had a plan for or fibers you just had to have.
It might be time to give these yarns a chance to become a project for another knitter or crocheter through our very first yarn stash swap.
Bring in your stash of yarn and let someone else enjoy it while you have fun looking at other people's forgotten treasures and become inspired by something new.
It will be a lot of fun; you never know what surprises A Good Yarn has in store for you!
