Greetings!
If you are not from here, then this coming weekend would be a great time to come up and visit. Our fall colors should be at their peak. And if you have not yet purchased your pumpkins, our farmers can offer you a varied selection. And don't forget our apples. The word is - we have had a bumper crop.

Suttons Bay Art Walk
October 23, 2009
Holly Sorensen, of Loom-in-Essence, is our featured artisit for this fall's Art Walk.
I met Holly at the Leland Summer Art Fair and fell in love with her woven scarves.
Make sure you stop by and see what she has wrought.

These patterns remind me of my childhood. And they are still in style.

This book has 20 sock patterns based on legends, myths,
and fairy tales; with pattern names of Selkie, Firebird,

Amazing.
Skacel designed a colorpack to support this book. The sock yarns incorporated in this colorpack are the
suggested colors to be used in fifteen of the patterns. We have these colorpacks at our shoppe if you wish to purchase some of the yarns.

Class for beginning knitting
Basketweave Cowl
Ruth will be teaching a beginning knit class, using a pattern that she has modified from Crissy Graham's Basketweave Cowl. (You need to be a Ravelry member to see the pattern.) Crissy has given us permission to use her pattern and we are excited to be able to offer you this chance to learn how to knit.
If you have never knit or "kinda/sorta" know how to knit, this is your chance to learn more. Topics to be covered include cast ons, cast offs, knit, purl, and what to carry in your knitting bag. Ruth is a great instructor and has some wonderful tips and ideas.
Cost: $40.
When: Wednesday, from 10 AM to noon. November 11 and 18.
Where: Thistledown Shoppe
Register by Saturday, November 7.
When you register we will give you a list of the materials that are needed for the class.
Contact us for further information.
