It is officially summer in Lexington, folks! We've moved on from warm weather into just plain sticky and hot. And you might think it's too hot to knit and crochet during these dog days of Summer, but you'd be wrong. Summer is the time for smaller and lighter weight projects: socks, linen shawls, or time to pick up a new yarn skill, like tapestry weaving. We have so many new things in the shop right now and we are so excited to see you!! Again, we can't fit all of the new stuff into the newsletter so we are including the highlights and we encourage you to visit our class page, our Facebook, or our Instagram for more of what is new.

July 30- August 7 2021
This will be our sixth year participating in the I-75 Yarn Crawl and we couldn't be more excited!! For those of you who are new to the I-75 Yarn Crawl, it is an event that spans I-75 from Tennesse to Michigan and includes more than 30 yarn shops. This year the I-75 Yarn Crawl spans two weekends so you have extra time to explore shops near and far. This year the passport will be free to encourage you to get out there and support some small businesses that were hit hard by the pandemic. Your passport provides a directory of shops along I-75 as well as access to sales and specials going on at those shops. You can get a passport by registering here (scroll down to the bottom of the page to access the form.) |

Speaking of the I-75 Yarn Crawl, during the crawl this year we will be featuring a trunk show by Emma's Yarns. Y'all know we are deeply in love with the color and base yarn combos from Emma's Yarns and judging by your responses to the Super Silky and Marvelous Mohair we carry in the shop, you are too! We are very excited to be hosting another two week trunk show featuring even more colors and bases of Emma's Yarns. Need inspiration? We will also be featuring some beautiful project samples to get those creative gears turning. Time to start planning those fall shawls and sweaters!! |

Beginning Socks
Do socks intimidate you? When you hear the phrase: "turn a heel" does your blood run cold? Well, Susan is here to take the scariness out of your first pair of socks. In this class, you will be using Rye, a Tin Can Knits beginning sock pattern (free on Ravelry), with worsted weight yarn that is knit at a tight gauge (22st/4 inches). OR, if you want to knit your socks on fingering weight yarn, Susan will help you knit Rye light. We love this pattern because it has great diagrams and tutorials that really help a first time sock knitter move from newby to expert in no time! With Susan's help, you're gonna have the snazziest looking feet in Lexington. Never fear socks again!
