February 5th, 2010 It’s Like Christmas Every Day - Those Boxes of New Stuff Keep Arriving!
Sunday hours are on this weekend so come sit, knit, shop, and hang out with us from 12noon-4pm.
We’re Back from the Show!
Ava and Laraine are back from TNNA (The National Needle Arts Association) trade show in Long Beach and they have so many exciting things to tell you about.
Ava took terrific technique classes with Brooklyn Tweed himself (aka Jared Flood) and well-known knit and crochet diva Lily Chin. Laraine is excited about planning a shop retreat based on a class she took with noted national teacher Gwen Bottner. Both had a chance to chat with some of the nationally known authors and designers such as Norah Gaughan, Melissa Leapman, Cat Bordhi, Barry Klein, Laura Bryant and Sara Parkes.
Ava and Norah Gaughan share design ideas
Best of all, Ava and Laraine spend two days exploring the world of yarn and knitting accessories looking for the perfect additions to TYC. Over the next few weeks and months we’re hoping you’ll say “wow” with some fabulous new products including:
- stunning sock and lace weight yarns from Malabrigo
