Did You Know?

One thing you may not know about VYT is that we offer private classes in knitting, crochet and spinning (both spindle and wheel). Cost is $30 an hour and you can split that cost among several people. So if you're looking for a class that might not currently be on our schedule and you have up to 3 friends who want to take it with you, give us a call and probably one of our talented instructors can arrange to teach you! We love making new stitching addicts, after all.

Also, DID YOU KNOW that DEB is almost on her way back from France? We have missed her so much in the shop and know you have too. We're looking forward to vacationing vicariously by listening to her stories about all the fun she had while she was gone! I'm sure she'll blog generously about her trip, so stay tuned for stories!

For your calendars: we will not be holding our monthly Spin-in or Knit Nite in August, because so many stitchers will be on vacation or busy getting ready for school to start, but we'll see you in September. All you Brighton Bag knitters, bring your finished bag in any time between August 1 and 15 and we'll hang them up for a fun display!

July Knit Night

Can you believe it's July already?? Summer is finally here. Celebrate summer with us by coming to knit night this Friday, July 11th from 6-9 pm.

We have been featuring mini-workshops the past few knit nights, and this month we have Amy of goodtobegirl teaching a great cast-on for toe up socks. The fee for this class is a very reasonable $3. The workshop starts at 7 pm. You just need to bring some fingering weight yarn, and 2 size 1-24" circulars. (You could also substitute worsted weight yarn and size 5 needles if you desire.)

We hope to see you here!

Get Your S&P Tickets Here

Okay, it's July - JULY! - today and can you believe it, we've actually had some warm weather here in the northwest. We're still knitting though, and we know you are too, because we've seen you do it here in the cool of our air-conditioned, iced-tea-stocked shop.

Summer means baseball, too, so let me take this opportunity to invite you all to purchase your Mariners Stitch & Pitch tickets now. This year's event is scheduled for Thursday, August 7 at 7:10pm and the Mariners will be playing the Tampa Bay Rays. If you've never attended a Stitch & Pitch baseball game, you're in for a treat - not only do you get to cheer for the home team, you get to knit (without any funny looks from other fans)! And not only do you get to cheer and knit, you can also SHOP! Many area yarn stores will be there with all kinds of loot to boost your almost-empty (?!) stash in preparation for your fall wardrobe or holiday gift giving.

Tickets are going fast, so stop in and pick yours up today for the low, low price of $13!
