::Sally Melville is coming SOON!::
Would you like to take a class from one of the best knitting teachers available currently? Sally Melville, author of the The Knitting Experience series, is coming to Nashville on November 10 and 11 (Sat and Sun), and yes, YOU, have the chance to learn her tips, techniques and secrets!
Here are your choices:
1. Saturday, Nov. 10, Sally will be teaching:
ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR THE SELF-TAUGHT KNITTER Most of us are self-taught. And no matter how advanced and accomplished we
are, there are holes in our experience. Perhaps we rely upon the same
cast-on, the same increase, the same decrease. Perhaps we are not confident
of our seaming or are confounded by the instruction to (i.e., pick up and knit 101
stitches around the neck edge . . . evenly!)
This workshop explores the best methods that we should all have in our
repertoire and provides hands-on experience for each one. In addition,
students will have the opportunity to ask questions about other knitting
techniques. There is always room for the content of this class to be
influenced by the students in the class.
This class will be held from 9-4, with a one-hour break for a provided box lunch (let us know if you have food allergies/issues). The cost will be $125.
2. Sunday, Nov. 11, Sally will teach:
EMERGENCY MEASURES Sometimes the most insight comes from the struggle one faces when something goes REALLY wrong. But there are remedies for most any kind of 'disaster' in knitting. Using these can turn a problem into a wearable garment while teaching us to be more intuitive and more confident
knitters!
This workshop will discuss the problems that confront most knitters plus what to do if the garment is too wide, too short, too long, too narrow, too outdated in style, if a bad colour choice was made, if the edgings are not holding well, if the knitter has run out of yarn or forgot to make pockets, or if the garment has suffered a laundering disaster.
This workshop will run from 12:30-3:30 (drinks and snacks will be provided). The cost is $60.
If you sign up for both classes, you may pay $160, saving $25! Sign up soon, as seating is limited. Come visit us from KY, AL, and other parts of TN! Make it a road trip with your friends! You won't be sorry...both Andrea and I have taken classes from Sally, and we can vouch that she is very knowledgeable and has a great teaching technique. The skills she is teaching in these two workshops are skills any level of knitter can use at any time in his/her knitting career.
Remember, these dates are just around the corner, so don't wait to call us and reserve your spot now! Call 615-269-8833 today!

::Natural Knitter Trunk Show is Here!::
Don't miss this! We have just put up a display of a number of beautiful garments from the book, The Natural Knitter, by the late Barbara Albright. Copies of the book will be available in the next day or two. The pieces are beautiful, some with unusual designs, some with unusual fibers.
The models will be available for looking (sorry, no trying on!) through October 29.
In stock now: new magazines from knitsimple, Interweave Knits - Holiday Gift issue, and Vogue Knitting - Winter 07. Also, we have limited colors of Fil, the new sea cell yarn from Tilli Thomas. It's beautiful, soft, smells faintly of the sea, and the colors are incredible. This yarn would be wonderful for a lightweight or lacy decorative scarf.
Don't forget the visit from Cheryl Schaefer this Monday night from 6-7:30. Please bring a folding chair as we are expecting more than our normal seating capacity. And bring some knitting to work on while listening to Cheryl's stories...We've opened the boxes with the hand-dyed yarn she sent, and all we can say is....yummy!

Join us at Angel Hair Yarn Co. next Monday night, October 22, from 6-7:30pm, as Cheryl Schaefer of Schaefer Yarn Company visits us! Cheryl will be sending a trunkload of her gorgeous hand-dyed yarns for you to choose from, some of which we carry (Anne, Laurel), and some of which we don't (you'll just have to see!). She'll be discussing her Memorable Women concept, how her company came to be, and more.
Bring a folding chair if you're coming as this is our normal Stitch-n-B night and we plan on having more than our usual "regulars" around! Of course, bring your knitting too - and if you have anything made from a Schaefer yarn, bring that as well. Cheryl will love seeing your creations!
See you next Monday, October 22, from 6-7:30pm at Angel Hair Yarn Co. in Green Hills (Nashville). Call us at 615-269-8833 if you have any questions.
