Was it ever great!!!

So SIP-n-Knit was so great! It is hard to put into words the sense of fun and community that the evening engendered. Everyone was sooo friendly and sharing and laughing. You DO NOT want to miss these, check the calendars and clear your schedules so that you can attend these great events! The next one is coming up Monday evening March 30, 2009. Just go online and register, or you can call the shop and let them know you are coming.

We are also so excited to be one of the very first exclusive distributors of "Snicklefritz Yarns". If you were at Stitches West 2009, you would have been some of the first to see these fabulous yarns that are created locally right here in Pleasanton! "Nannysknits" (her Ravelry ID" is the talent behind this wonderful line and her color sense is truly remarkable! She has a wonderful line of "Gnome" sock yarns that are the yummiest of colorways and blends. She is working her magic right now and we will have an array of her yarns available at Knit This, Purl That! really soon. There is some really great boucle that goes with some great DK weight and together would make the most stylish "Chanel" type jacket ever! A real wardrobe classic. Watch your e-mails for the debut!

There are some wonderful new patterns for the ever sumptuous ArtYarns that you really must come in and check out. These patterns are so elegant and would be just the thing to knit for all the events that you may have coming up.
Be sure to check out the website where we have just posted the classes for the month of April and we have some great ones coming up. There is a super cool iPod/cell phone case that will teach you how to read and follow a charted pattern. We also have a class for any of you that have wanted to learn the "Magic Loop" method for knitting in the round. We will do a really cute pair of baby booties while you learn all the ins and outs of "Magic Loop". We are offering our "Tips and Tricks" class where you will learn all sorts of things that will make you a better knitter. Our own Darlyne will be teaching a really cute "Simple Summer Shell" that is the must have addition to your Spring and Summer wardrobe. Don't be left out, sign up early and get those sticks Clickin!
