With hot August weather comes hot, hot deals at the Knit Knook! We aren't participating in the Yarn Crawl this year but we are having an end of summer clearance sale on Saturday, August 18 and then from Monday, August 20th through Saturday, August 25th. When you visit and make a purchase, your name will go into a drawing. Each day we will draw a name at noon and the winner will receive a prize!
Monday, August 27th, 6:00-8:00 pm is Spin Night.
Tuesday, August 28th from 10-Noon is Christmas Club. There are no more seats available this year--sorry.
We are very excited to announce that we have a new spinning instructor. Karen will be offering classes in September. There are four different classes depending on your interest and skill level (see below for an explanation of each class). Sign up early--there is a lot of interest.
As your summer comes to a close, I hope you pick up your knitting and crocheting again to carry on the wonderful tradition of making handmade items.
