Things have been busy here lately. We have undertaken the gargantuan task of setting up a Point of Sale system. That means counting all the inventory and inputting the data into the program, which of course we are learning at the same time. So as you can imagine, it is taking some time to accomplish. There is a light glimmering at the end of the tunnel, but it has interrupted the regular flow of things. We are back this week with a few things to remind you about and a few new things to show you.
Classes.
Recently we have had a sock class, and a counted thread class. Coming up we have this Saturday is Setting Up A Project in Knit Companion. If you are a knitter with an iPad, you need knitCompanion. Some have shied away from the app thinking it is complicated, but it is well worth the time to learn how to use it and we will help you get started.
Coming up in the next few weeks we have…
April 12 — Hair & Fur Needlepoint Sampler
Learn stitches you can use to do hair and fur on your needlepoint projects.
May 3 — Reading Your Knitting
Do you know how to tell if the stitch you are looking at is a knit stitch or a purl stitch? What about a k2tog versus an SSK? How do you tell why you ran out of stitches before finishing a part of your pattern? And what if you need to tink (that’s knit spelled backwards) a row to fix a mistake? We will cover techniques that will give you tools to fix mistakes in your knitting. We will knit a washcloth, so you will learn a lot and end up with something useful.
Finished Objects
Good deal!
Me,Sarah and JB are signed up for the April 12 class! What do we need to bring, and what do we need to prepare for the class!
Just bring anything extra that you need to stitch with like magnifiers, etc. We will provide everything else.

I have closed my store thank goodness. My husband has been so ill. Now he can stay home an I hope to be able to enjoy some of the trips to Mississippi again. He has been in and out of the hospital. I think that he will be now for the rest of his life. But the I must keep living. I do hope to see yal’l soon.
I have missed seeing all of you.

Wow, Jan. I’m so sorry to hear about your husband, but of course we will enjoy seeing you anytime we can. We wish you and your husband all the best!
