I've been a little quiet on the blog front but we've been busy in the store. It's been a real pleasure to see several out-of-state visitors returning for their holiday visit. We have also been busy updating our website. Lucky for us, Serena worked at the store during her Christmas break from college. She's enjoyed taking pictures of the store and updating many of the website pictures. Be sure to check out her talent by viewing the pictures on our about us page. I'm excited that she will continue to work for us long-distance since we have many other things planned.
We have also been revamping our calendar page to make it easier to negotiate. We have the rough draft uploaded so you can go ahead and see the classes but we will be changing the format somewhat in the future. In February, we have included crochet classes. In the past, crochet classes have not filled like the knitting classes but I'm hoping this will change and we will have more support for the crochet classes.
I've been busy working on a baby sweater pattern and hopefully will be finished with it for a March class. I've decided that I will give a free class and pattern to 8 people in exchange for test knitting the pattern. The sweater is a basic top-down seamless raglan sleeve sweater. A great project for an advanced knitter (must be comfortable with the knit and purl stitch and know how to correct basic mistakes).
