Local Yarn Shop Day is next Saturday! April 30th, all day. Bring your projects, a friend and join us for a fun day doing what we love! I’ll have lots of drawings, a special Tunisian crochet prize, treats and loads of coffee and tea.
This community keeps growing and we always find room for more friends. Don’t be shy, you can sit with us.
We get asked on a weekly basis about crochet lessons. It’s hard to please everyone and attendance can be hit or miss with all the different schedules. Tracy came up with a brilliant plan that will (hopefully) make it easier for all.
Calendly. Have you heard of it? Tracy was the first to tell me about it!
Here is how it works:
1) Click on the link for Calendly and select your day.
2) Select your time
3) Type in your name and email. There is also a space to add a friend if you want to take the class together.
4) Select the class you want to take
5) Your class is scheduled.
There is a description of each class and a list of materials required. Tracy has asked you pay the day of the class. Please be respectful of her time and let us know if you are unable to attend.
We hope this will make it simple to schedule for anyone wanting to learn crochet. If you have any questions, please call the shop and we can get you sorted.

The World’s Simplest Mittens by Tin Can Knits can be knit in almost any yarn weight. This free pattern is a great first mitten. If you know how to knit, purl and join in the round then this is a class for you. I made this pair with the Plymouth, Baby Alpaca. An incredibly soft worsted weight that will keep my hands warm on the cold Iowa days we know are ahead.

Stop in the shop or call to sign up. Space will be limited for this class.
What will your first project of the year be? Will it be a knit or crochet? Will it be for you or to gift to someone special?
