Summer knitting

Hi everyone!  I just wanted to let you know that even though the natural tendency is for people to think summer is too warm for knitting– we have lots of great patterns and yarns for summer!!  We have some lovely tank/shell patterns as well as market bags and nice lacy shawl patterns.  All light enough for warm weather knitting– so don’t let you knitting skills ( and obsession!) languish during the summer months– there is a lot of good knitting time to be had while sitting at sports games, poolside or while on vacation.  Come in and let us get you started on something!

The Md Sheep and Wool “afterglow”

Here borrowing a term coined by our dear friend Jen…  Don’t let that afterglow fade!  We still have a selection from many of the fine vendors we hosted at our MD S&W booth.  Stop in  and see if that skein you left behind is still here!

Just a taste…

Roving too!~

Yarn of the Month

You still have another 9 days to get your Zen Yarn Garden yarn at a delicious 10% off and also donate to a very good cause.  Their colors are gorgeous and their dyeing sublime!  We have “luxurious lace” which is a merino and tussah silk blend, their “tenceliscious” yarn with it’s merino and tencel combo.  Also, there are both “sturdy” and “squooshy” sock yarns in fab. colors.  A portion of this month’s proceeds goes to Kidney Cancer Research– a cause near and dear to me as my sister continues her war with this menace.

If you’re anything like us, you cannot wait for tomorrow or maybe you’re taking a class today and have already started your 2009 Sheep & Wool experience.  Many of us Cloverhill folk are at the shop right now packing up and getting ready to head over to the fairgrounds to set up for tomorrow.  We can’t wait!  Before you enter a Sheep & Wool induced yarn and fleece coma, make sure you drop by our booth at two special times tomorrow (Saturday).  We’re hosting two book signing events!  

First is Pints & Purls by Karida Collins and Libby Bruce on Saturday May 2 from 12:00pm - 1:00 pm.  If you haven’t seen this great new book, be sure to stop by, buy it, and have it signed!

The second book signing is Vintage Baby Knits by Kristin Rengren on Saturday May 2 from 2:00pm - 3:00pm.  If there are any babies in your life or about to be in your life, this book is a must have.

We’re thrilled to be hosting these signing events tomorrow.  The best news of all is that once you’ve gotten your books signed, you can buy the yarn right away!  

See you tomorrow!
