Punxsutawney Phil and Jimmy the Groundhog of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin saw his shadow on February 2 so it looks like we may be due for another six weeks of winter. Which means we'll all have six more weeks of winter knitting and crocheting before spring!

The shop will be closed for the months of February and March so  we can get caught up on all of our works in progress.

We are excited to announce that we'll be staring up a new knit-a-long in May. Details can be found below in the newsletter.

Building in Color by Michelle Hunter of Knit Purl Hunter. Build your color knitting skills one panel at a time! We will be starting this as a shop knit-a-long in May of this year!

Classes and Workshops

We're announcing a new format for instruction and help. Instead of the shop setting up the time schedule for class you and/or your friends will arrange the time and day. Several times a year we will present a list of suggested knitting and crochet classes on our website and in the newsletter to help you choose, but keep in mind that any and all suggestions will be accepted.

As always there is no charge for help and instruction during regular shop hours. At all other times of the week the cost is $20.00 per student for a 2 hour private or semi-private instruction. Groups of 3 to 6 students are a total cost of $50.00 for a 2 hour class. Groups of 7 students or more are $100.00 for a two hour class (2 teachers required.)  

Pre-registration is required for all classes. All supplies are available at the shop. Students receive 10% off supplies.
