4th of July Fireworks at VYT!

In honor of Independence Day, we're having some fireworks of our own! Thursday-Saturday, July 1-3, buy any set of needles and ball of yarn and learn to cast on and knit FREE! Please note: you must buy needles and yarn July 1 – 3 only. Classes are 11am-1pm or 2-4pm on July 3.

We'll be closed on Sunday, July 4th, so be sure you purchase your holiday knitting supplies before then!

Crochet Nite!

This Thursday, June 17, is Crochet Nite! All you people with hooks and yarn, come join us for some concentrated crochet from 6-8pm. We're looking forward to seeing your newest projects!

We still have space in many summer classes, including our Kids' Knitting and Felting Camps. If you're looking for a fun, week-long activity for your child, you'll want to check out all the details on our website, under Classses.

World Wide Knit in Public Day: Saturday!

Yes, this Saturday is WWKIP Day! There are lots of shops and groups hosting get-togethers this weekend, including the Seattle NorthEnd Knitters. Go here to get information about knitting in public at Greenlake. If you'd like to knit in public at VYT, we'll have tables set up outside and tea and cookies available for munching. Wherever you are this Saturday, do some knitting in public to promote our wonderful craft!

Got a hankerin' to spin?

If you do, it's your lucky week! Thursday is Spin Nite, when we'll be gathering at VYT to spin on our wheels and spindles. Come between 6 and 8pm and turn your fiber into yarn with us. Just to tempt you a bit, I'll tell you that Barbara Seeler has dropped off some new fibers for us. Can you say pure silk? If so, there's some here in beautiful, vibrant colors. Barbara also dyed up some luscious merino/bamboo/silk blend and from the feel of it, it will spin like buttah! Come early and browse the colors before someone else does!

This week at VYT

It's June and the first Friday is coming up - and that means Knit Nite! Since we're deep in the midst of June gloom already, why not plan on a cozy night at VYT with your knitting comrades? Just because it's almost summer (despite the weather), we'll barbeque a few hotdogs and then move on to stitching. Come early, because the 'dogs are available only as long as they last, between 6 and 7pm. See you then!
