BBQ Knit Nite Morphs

First of all, a very special "Thank You" to all who supported BBQ Knit Nite during the last year! We had fun & learned a whole bunch of new stitches!

Two things will change about BBQ Knit Nite; its name and its price. With the passing of my brother Seth, we are a cook short and it just isn't the same; so, we have decided to move it to the Kitchen & change its name. (Hey! that rhymed...)

We welcome you to the all new Friday Nite Knitch! It will begin this very Friday and it will be FREE. There will two projects (one knit & one crochet) and a free pattern to go with them. Kathy will teach a crochet wrap & Karen will teach a knit wrap. It will happen after hours from 4-6:30; so bring a dish to pass, don't be hungry. Folks may show up anytime during these hours or early if you just wanna hang in the kitchen.

We will put a Friday Nite Knitch on once a month, so check the class calendar for dates. We are looking forward to a new chapter in knitting and the opportunity for more knitters & crocheters to meet each other & participate. Love you all very much!

Karen

Sock Alert!

Hooray!!! 5 new colors in Poems; going fast! 3 New Cities in Marathon: 6 colors each city... & the North Pole too! WOW

Customer Corner FO's!

Burnie came in to show off her beach bag knit up in Summer Linen. I love it!! Me wants one!

Not soon after, Ruth came in to show off her shoulder shawlette knit up in our newest Honey Pot Yarn of angora & lamb's wool. She also knit up a bracelet with the leftovers. Way to go Ruth! It's beautiful!

Carseat Blankie

Crocheted by Mags in Cotton Joy Jr!

It's a blanket that lays over a carseat. The hole near the middle is for the seatbelt buckles. Neat, aye!?

Join our Knit Along!

We are starting a knit-along with this wonderful doily blanket adapted from an antique doily pattern with our Ravelry group. You can find the free pattern here, & you can find our Ravelry group, Off the Beaten Path Yarnhouse Groupies, here.

Karen, Rachel & myself have been taken by this project. I'm knitting it up in some lucious Alpaca yarn from Forest Acadamy, Rachel is knitting it in Cotton Supreme, & Karen has decided to knit the smaller version out of several strands of the new crochet cotton.

Won't you join us in this knit-along?

BBQ Knit Nite CANCELED - Extended Vacation

As some of you may already know, Karen's brother Seth -he was also one of the BBQ Knit Nite cooks- passed away recently. Due to the responsibilities of this personal tragedy, Karen has cancelled July's BBQ Knit Nite & extended the Summer Vacation hours until August 31st. The next BBQ Knit Nite will be August 21st & our store hours will remain Thurs 11-5, Fri-Sat 10-4, & closed Sun-Wed.

Won't you please drop Karen a line with your condolences or give her a call. She could use the extra support at this time & she thanks you for your understanding.
