The first-ever Skeins On Main Cookbook is just about ready to go to print.  We’re just finishing up the pre-order process, then we’ll wait for the books to arrive.  You can order yours by stopping in or calling the shop.  The books are $10 each, with proceeds going to KnitMichigan, an organization that helps raise money to fight cancer.  We’ve all been affected in some way - this is just one small thing we can do to help in the battle.  Pre-orders will be taken until the end of the month.  While some books will be available for purchase, quantities after May 31 will be extremely limited so pre-orders are recommended.

Skeins on Main proudly welcomes MaggiKnits yarn to the shop!  It arrived last week in large quantities with tons of pattern support to go with it.   Take a look at the linen, misty slub, lurex (ooooh, sparkle!), rags (a cotton tape), angora (used as an accent in many of her designs), and cotton.  There are even free patterns when you purchase the yarn called for to go with it.  We love that!

We’ve had it posted on the door for a couple of weeks now, but in case you missed it, our spring hours will be effective on April 1.  The only change is that we’ll close at 4pm on Friday and Saturday instead of 6pm.  We’ll resume the later hours in September for those long winter months.

While our new process for sending newsletters seems to be getting them to most, a few people have still commented on not receiving the newsletter.  If you’re one of those people, please take a moment to check your junk email folder on your computer.  There’s a chance your computer just isn’t intelligent enough to realize how incredibly important, useful, and entertaining our newsletters can be and is actually considering them to be (gasp!) spam!  Can you imagine?  But unfortunately it happens…

If you’re new to Skeins On Main and would like to begin receiving our newsletters, or even if you’re not new and you’ve found that your computer isn’t hiding them from you and they were never received, please follow this link to sign up:  http://lists.skeinsonmain.com/mailman/listinfo/newsletter   You should start receiving it with the next newsletter, which generally comes out during the first few days of the month and is filled with information about what’s going on in the store, which events are coming up, and how to get involved both in the store AND in our community projects.
