Getting organized
We’re really looking forward to Knit in Public Day this weekend. The main festivities will be going on between 11:00 and 4:00, so pack up your needles and come knit with us!
Meanwhile, we’ve been focused on painting, organizing and unpacking everything into the shop. Heidi and I went to TNNA, a needlearts trade show, this past weekend and ordered some lovely things for Stitch Cleveland, including Soak fine fiber wash. We stocked up on not only their regular scents but also the new limited-edition Amy Butler “Sola” scent, and got to meet Amy herself. And yes, of course we asked if she wanted to come up and teach!
We’ve got a new Flickr account so add us as a friend if you like. Or join the Stitch Cleveland Flickr group and post photos of your creations from classes here! You can add up to five photos per week to the group photo pool. The lovely ladies you see at left were some of Heidi’s sock monkey class students last night.
Gift certificates — we’ve had requests, and just so you know, we do offer them. Email shop@stitchcleveland.com with what you’d like (a certificate for a particular class? a particular dollar amount?) and we’ll either email you a printable version or hold it for you at the shop.
