Reminders

February 24th, 2012

Rochester Schools closed today due to snow (I think it’s more for the impending than the current), so we will, too.  Enjoy your day.  Stay home and knit, be safe.  We’ll reopen tomorrow morning.

For anyone interested in walking in the Susan G Komen 3-Day with us, we’ll have an informational meeting tomorrow morning at 9am.  Please just knock on the door - we’ll let you in.  We’ll discuss our teams, our dates (there are two!), training, and fundraising ideas.  There is no obligation - just information. 

At 10am, Dr. Carolyn Walker will host a talk on Women’s Heart Health Awareness.  Please join her to learn more about your own heart health, including causes, preventions, and the symptoms you should be watching for but may not have even known about.  There is no cost or obligation to attend this important discussion.  Just come in - we’ll do the rest.

And don’t forget… Our big sale (up to 64% off!) ends tomorrow!!  Be sure to get in and get some shopping done before the deals are all gone!  See you then!


It’s a SALE!!

February 22nd, 2012
Here goes nothing… To some of you, this crazy logic will make perfect sense.  Others will just shake their heads and accept it as being my crazy logic (nothing new), while others will ponder it for far too long and miss out on all the rewards!
 
So here’s the personal side of this…  Many of you know that I’ve been struggling to lose weight for almost 11 months now.  While I’ve been quite successful, I’ve also been stalled out and frustrated for about 3-4 months.  I’m stalled at a 64-pound loss.  Great achievement, I get that.  But also extremely frustrating because I’m working out 5 times a week, eating extremely well, and still NOT LOSING. 
 
So now I’m going to embrace it.  I will embrace my 64 pounds until my body decides to FINALLY go past it and see 65.  (Then hopefully 66, 67, 68, and so on, but let’s not put the cart before the horse.)  This is where you come in….
 
I need to start running.  I already walk (a lot, and really fast), but I think running needs to become part of my routine for a day or two. 
 
I also want to spice things up.  SO…  How better to do all of this than one big gynormous (yes, I said that) SALE!
 
So for three days only.. Thursday (Feb 23), Friday (Feb 24), and Saturday (Feb 25), we’ll be marking select yarns down anywhere from 15 to…. here’s where the embrace comes in… 64 percent off!!!  As always, all sales are final, discounts may not be combined, we may not be able to wind during the sale, and patience is required since we didn’t have a chance to call in additional staff to handle the busy times. 
 
How does all this work together?  Easy.  You show up while I’m working… I run my tail off (that’s the RUN I wanted!), you get up to 64% off (that’s where I’m embracing that stubborn number), and I lose weight and get past my sticky point!  We all win!  Woo-hoo!!!!  See you at the sale!!!

P.S.  I heard we’re expecting a huge snowstorm on Friday that could end up closing the shop… If that’s the case, the sale will be on Thursday and Saturday only.  Come in early for the best selection!

Delivery News!

January 17th, 2012
A whopping 156 pounds of Madeline Tosh yarns arrived today!!  We called in the troops and all of it is safely on the shelves, but I’m sure it won’t last long.  There are more than 20 colors of Vintage, about 25 colors of DK, and about 20 (or so) colors of Tosh Sock.  Yummy, yummy, yummy!!!  Of course the colorways are absolutely AMAZING, but we expect no less from her.  Be sure to come in soon to see it - you know Tosh tends to fly off the shelves.  People have been calling for it all day, so Shelly is ready and waiting for you.

Uh oh! Class Schedule

January 5th, 2012

Apparently there has been some confusion with the class calendar on-line.  Winter classes begin on Monday, January 9th.   See you then!
