We’re so excited about everything we have lined up for our August 14th Customer Appreciation Day! The celebration goes on all day long, starting with ribbon cutting and awning unveiling when the store opens at 11am. Join us for 3 free classes starting at 12pm with “Tips and Tricks” with Lori Lober later an “Introduction to Knitting” with Janet Lawton, and last but not least “Reading a Knitting Pattern” with Annika Barranti. We are also excited to welcome once again Wendy Bernard of Knit and Tonic to sign her books and patterns, and will be available for Q&A at 3pm.
There are also many great opportunities to walk out the door with a free gift. The first 20 customers get one of our new Knit Culture Studio Baggu foldable eco bags and the next 95 after that receive a Fall Debbie Bliss Magazine. Not only that, everyone who comes to the store has a chance to enter for over 25 fantastic door prizes, including:
*The Mixed Fiber Throw Kit from Mountain Colors in Portland Rose. Some lucky customer will get the pattern and all the yarn they need to knit this textured sofa throw, which uses 5 different yarn styles from Mountain Colors. The Portland Rose colorway is a beautiful blend of blue, red, purple and orange.
*Blue Sky Alpaca’s Kitty Hat kit including an adorable project bag. This adorable hat is one of our favorites and features some clever construction. Blue Sky Alpacas delicious Suri Alpaca Merino feels great on the hands as you work with it.
*Lantern Moon’s prizes will outfit one lucky knitter with a pair size 11 ebony needles that make knitting even more enjoyable. Their Silk Fan Case will hold an assortment of double points and crochet hooks, and the Handuk clutch is great for holding all those notions that you need for your projects. You can put all of this into a Yellow Fish Messenger Bag.
