The
Wait is Over!
Sally Melville,
amazing author, knitter, and teacher is finally coming to Y2E!!
After
nearly 7 years of waiting, we're thrilled to be offering workshops with
world-class designer and author,
Sally Melville, May 13-14 & 16!!
S ally,
whose engaging style will re-fuel your passion, will be teaching
workshops Thursday (morning

afternoon), Friday (all
day) & Sunday (afternoon

The author of some of the most popular knitting books of
all time (The Knit Stitch,

Mother-Daughter Knits),

descriptions taken from
Sally's site below.
In addition to
early bird pricing, we are also excited to offer a
F-R-E-E
short presentation, "WHY
WE KNIT",

one of Sally's classes!

What? Men's Knit Night??!!
After several years
of talking about our cool male friends who knit, we've finally decided
to give them a chance to "bond" over the merits of ssk vs skpsso. We're
inviting our guy friends to hang out on Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:00
starting April 8. And just to help you guys get started, we'll offer a
20% discount on Thursday nights to the men who show up (and participate)
during the month of April!!
Online
Shopping
We're pleased to announce our
online shopping cart is
open for business! After many dedicated hours (thanks Dad!), the
shopping cart can extend your experience 24/7. We hope it will be
convenient for those that live a "little further out"! Of course,
coming into the shop and touching, feeling, and sharing your knitting
experience, strength and hope with us can't be replaced by a cold, hard
computer, but when you know what you want....
The shopping cart will ALWAYS be a WIP (we all know what a
Work In
Progress is, right?), and inventory is updated daily rather than
real-time, but yippee!!! You can now shop at 2am in nothing but handknit socks!!!

FRIDAY KAL (Knit-A-Long):
Several of the
Friday Knit ALong attendees have finished their Arwens (while some of us
have yet to start ). We're debating the next project (maybe the
Wonderful Wallaby or a Habu design?). Join us Fridays at 11am and give
us your ideas for what we should do next. And if you aren't working on
the same project, don't worry--join us anyway
for inspiration, help or even a little therapy! We appreciate your
use of yarn purchased at Y2E for our KAL's.
