A customer came into our store the other day and was sharing with her daughter that she was going to learn to knit this year so she could start now on her Christmas list and make all of her 2012 gifts. How awesome is that? That got us thinking about creating a fiber arts group which meets at our store to visit, share ideas and help promote the value of these various art forms. Starting this month we are inviting all fiber crafters (young, old, experienced or novice) to join us in our store whenever we are open (which currently is from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm Friday and Saturday).
If you are interested in a private knitting or crocheting lesson we will be offering those at $30.00 per hour (includes a $20.00 skein of yarn). Just call us or stop by the store. We are also in the planning stage for several seminars on various forms of felting. We have finally found some wonderful uses for our lesser quality fiber which turns into some lovely items when felted . . . so keep watching our posts as we will be sharing the results as we test these methods out.
The photos below show our latest hat design being worn by our favorite barista, Tammy from Coffee Girl here in Astoria. Isn't it cute? If you would like one of your own or for a gift, they are available in our store or online for $40.00 plus shipping.
