Mary Scott Huff
Okay. here's the deal. I don't know how I missed it but I had scheduled the 1st class for
MSH on Father's Day.
Doh!
No worries, people.
Mary has graciously agreed to move the 1st workshop to a week later from June 19th to
Sunday, June 26th. at 12:30.
The scheduled day & time for all following classes will remain the same.
Thanks for pointing this out to me, Bonnie.
I REALLY need to invest in a calendar with all the holidays on it. Sheesh!
We are pleased and proud to announce
Yorkshire Yarns
is now an authorized retailer of
Miche Bag
Miche is a 3-step system which allows folks to change bags as quickly as changing her mood.
Come in and try one on for fun.
You're gonna love 'em.
Thank you for all those who did
the "Crawl"
"Three Babes & A Crawl"
The South Sound Yarn Crawl was an enormous success. I don't think I've talked to one person who didn't have a GREAT time.
Folks did it alone or with friends and/or family.
But I do believe the bus buddies had the wildest time. :-)
Thank you all for crawling through.
We (your local yarn shops) loved seeing you and meeting new friends.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Remember, before you go online support your LYS first!
For those who still want a commemorative notebook, we still have 3 available.
Unfortunately, we have no stitch markers left.
Heck. I didn't even snag one!
But I promise we'll have some really cute one for next year.
What's next?
Coming up:
Woldwide Knitting in Public- June 18th, 10-4pm in Allyn
Tacoma Rainiers Stitch N Pitch! Thursday, June 30th
Introducing Yorkshire Yarns Paw Prints Patterns
We revealed our new pattern line during the SSYC.
This beginning lace scarf pattern was made with lace handpaint by Punta Yarns.
Okay. So, we ran out of the yarn the 1st day but alas, we'll get more.
"Dancing Paws"
is written for a scarf or shawl.
The instore shawl pattern was displayed using Unique Sheep Gradiance.
We're excited about our new line.
Watch for more patterns to be added to our line very soon.
Heeeeeey!
Check this out!
Yorkie Yarns just received the coveted
Malabrigo Trunk Show.
We'll have it for the next couple weeks.
Come enjoy and grab several ideas for the most beautiful garmets made from Malabrigo!
Wanna LOL?
This is the funniest dog on the web.
Every now and then we all need to smile for no other reason but to change the landscape on our mugs.
I PROMISE you'll smile when you see this.
Seriously, take a look.
Listen, it was this or Arnold.
I choose the dog.
Wait.
Is that the same thing?

The Knitty Titty Committee
Knitted Knockers???
Seriously.
This is for real.
One of our wonderful patrons told me about a unique campaign that supports breast cancer survivors who have gone through a mastectomy.
And if it's "unique" you KNOW I'm all over that.
In 2007 The Knitting Experience Cafe in Brunswick, ME began knitting prosthetic breasts for women who could not afford expensive "replacements".
The idea worked and took off like a rocket
and has gone national.
READ more about it here.
The Yorkshire Yarns spring/summer charity knitting campaign will be in support of the
Knitted Knockers or (as we'll call ourselves)
"The Knitty Titty Committee".
We plan to donate our knockers to our local American Cancer Society and or send them to the KE Cafe.
We may as well get started sooner than later. Here's a link to the Knitty.com
"Tit Bits" pattern from sizes A to DD.
Remember, they must be made out of a soft, comfortable, breathable fiber because they will be next to scar tissue.
For example, Cascade's Pima Tencel would be a nice choice.
Okay? Are ya ready? Let's get busy!
Heads up!
We'll be on our summer hours beginning April 1st
Monday 10-8pm
Tuesday - Friday 10-6pm
Saturday 10-5pm
CLOSED Sunday
