We Had a Little Surprise
Jo Ippolito Christensen, author of The Needlepoint Book, stopped by the shop to say hello. We had a great visit with her and she even signed our copies of her book. What a treat.
One Final Announcement
If we are holding yarn for you in the office, you should pick it up. We will be re-shelving it next week.
How About Some Finished Objects?
Include me in both second and third counted thread ornamenrs.
You are on the list!
Love the new yarns!!!
Enjoyed reading your news letter. I am in Western North Carolina after 5 1/2 feet during Katrina. I am pleased to tell you that Jo Ippoloto Christensen’ s book survived the water and I am glad to have a copy.

The baby in the hat is soooo beautiful.
Hope to see tall soon.
Happy New Year
What pattern is the lace scarf class using?
Pictures will be coming. Of course, you can come visit to see the pattern I’m working on.
ANY IDEA WHEN MY “KITCHEN WITCH” MIGHT BE READY?
We don’t know when your Kitchen Witch will come in. The finishers take a couple of weeks off after the Christmas Rush.

What will the sock class entail?
We will be doing a basic cuff down sock with a heel flap style heel. If you want, we could incorporate a pattern into it for you, since you are no longer a beginner, eh?
