Alpaca Shearing
Dutches Dreams has let us know that they will begin shearing their thirtten alpacas at their farm next Friday, May 9th beginning at 9:00 A.M. and ending when the thirteenth alpaca loses its hair. Several of you have expressed an interest in seeing where the lovely alpaca yarn comes from. If you'd like to visit the farm to watch the alpaca shearing, call the shop. If there's enough interest, we'll plan a group trip; otherwise, we will be more than happy to give you directions.
Blue Sky Alpaca Trunk Show
We're excited about the Blue Sky Alpaca Trunk Show which is now here in the shop. This Trunk Show displays several knitted (and crocheted) garments using yarn and patterns we carry. Stop by the shop to see this fantastic show April 15th through May 8th.
Penny Straker Trunk Show
The Penny Straker Trunk Show was at the shop February 10-22nd , and customers got to see 28 hand-knit garments which use the Penny Straker Knitting Patterns. These patterns are the benchmark of hand knitting patterns. Knitter-friendly, with clean graphics which include illustrations of techniques, they take the knitter one step at a time through each section of a garment. These patterns are the original "generic" knitting patterns, written for weights of yarn, not specific brands of yarn. Let these hand-knit garments, in a wide assortment of yarns, inspire you! Although the Trunk Show is now over, we carry the patterns. If a particular pattern is out-of-stock, it takes days for patterns to reach us.
Name the Ewe Contest. There's a new sheep in the pen in the shop. We had several customers suggest names for a female sheep; however, we now suspect that our sheep is not a female, but a male. At this time (until the sex of this animal can be determined), we are withholding the winning female name and, in fact, may be soliciting a possible name for a male. Stay tuned for further developments.
Think Outside The Sox Contest. Our shop is a participant in this national contest. Stop by for further information about this contest or check it out in the Spring 2008 "Knitter's" magazine which we carry or the web site: http://ThinkOutsideTheSOX.com. We hope the winner of this $6,000 prize is a customer of our shop.
