Happy New Year!

Can you believe all the snow we have had so far this year, I think we have got it all in one month, at least we can hope we have. I find I just get the urge to sit by a cozy fire, or in front of the TV and pick up my knitting needles or hooks, and work on a new project. Last year my son bought me the book "Son of Stitch and Bitch", it has updated fashion knits for young men which I am finally getting around to knitting ( I really do believe he deserves a sweater just for the thought of buying me such a wonderful gift, no one ever thinks I would like a pattern book probably because they think it pertains to my work, but my work is my joy). I thought of starting all my knitting in January for next Christmas, my problem is that I get sidetracked along the way with the store and other projects- I will try to keep more focus this year and see what comes of it.

The new Rug Hooking Magazine is in for January/February 2009, we continue to have the rug hookin on Thursday mornings from 10-12 . All are welcome to join in, please bring your own cup for fill ups.

Our knitting group continues on Wed mornings 10-12.

We have a new group on Wednesday evenings from 7-9-all textile arts are welcome, whether you needlepoint, knit, crochet, tat, embroider, cross stitch or rug hook come join in for an evening of comradeship, a little stitch and _itch. Please bring your own mug and we will give you free fill ups.

I will be away from the store for the week of Jan 19th and not really sure when I will be reopening as I will be having surgery that week. Believe me as soon as I am able I will be back at the helm but will need a little recovery time first of course. Please watch your mail for news of the reopening as I will be sure to let you all know.

I hope that the New Year brings you all much joy, good health and prosperity, Happiness to all,
Karen
