OMG! Such fun things coming for LYS Day!!

First Annual LYS Day(s) April 18th - 21st

April 21st is the First Annual LYS Day. Local Yarn Shops add so much to the community and we wanted to be part of celebrating us! But we think the LYS is so fabulous that we need 4 days to celebrate...

Wednesday April 18th - Saturday April 21st we will celebrate all the reasons we love having a Local Yarn Shop. We will have trunk shows and special classes and limited time kits and of course food!

Here are some of the promised, "More Detials:"

Zen Yarn Garden will be here Wednesday begging at noonthrough Saturday.
Fantastic, limited availability kits from Manos del Uruguay, Oink, Classic Elite Yarn, and Alexandra's Crafts.
Carol Nina Knits designed a pattern just for the day using Manos' Fino -- it will be free with purchase of yarn for this event only.
Bah Bah Fibers and Under Dutch Skies will be here with exclusive colors and more.
We will have classes on Saturday and throughout the month focusing on basic skills -- check out our Calendar for details.

This is such a new event that we keep getting updates from our vendors every day so there are sure to be more details to come!

Makahiki KAL

Clue 4 will be out on the 10th! The yarn should be here later this week and we will announce its arrival in the Ravelry Threads.

Charla is moderating two boards on Ravelry to help answer questions. The first is a no spoiler thread for those who want to keep the mystery and the second thread allows you to post photos -- so if you want to know what it should look like by now, check out this thread!

Are you loving how this shawl looks but did not get a kit? No worries! First, it is really pretty in solid or we can help you find colors for it.

Not sure what we are talking about? Sharon Mooney designed a 12 month knit a long. (Makahiki means "year" in Hawaiian). You have plenty of time to catch up because it is only one clue per month! You can find the pattern here.

Fixing Mistakes

April celebrates the LYS -- Local Yarn Shop. And there are so many reasons we should celebrate having a LYS available but the biggest reason is the expert help you can get.

It has always been our goal to keep the cost of education and help down so that we can really see our peeps grow in skill and confidence!

Molly is teaching three Fixing Mistakes Classes:

101: April 9th Covers the basics -- ripping, tinking, fixing a dropped stitch, how to avoid mistakes.

201: April 16th How to reach down and correct stitches in different fabrics -- garter, ribbing, basic lace, etc.

301: April 19th How to fix bigger patches of knitting gone wrong, lace, cables, seed stitch, and edge stitches.

Homework is required for each class!! These are hands on classes.

Brioche

Brioche knitting continues to be really popular! Molly is offering three Brioche classes this month. The easiest class is the Basic Beanie.

Basic Beanie: April 11th

Two color brioche in the round.

Basic Brioche Gauntlets: April 23rd

Two color brioche knit flat.

Trouble Shooting Brioche: April 25th
