It’s hard to keep our breath nowadays. We’ve been busy with all our 10th anniversary celebrations (read about our big retreat further down in the blog) and now we’re heading into a couple of months of nonstop activity.
Coming up soon is the Vogue Knitting Live conference, March 14-16 at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. Stop by for classes, demos, fashion shows and lots more. Our booth will be full of fun stuff, including the debut of our custom Madelinetosh colorway, Greenwood.
After that, we’ll be busy preparing for our annual sale, which runs April 25-27. As usual, all the yarn in the store will be 20% off, and we’ll have a huge selection of clearance yarn at 40% off.
May kicks off with the Phinney-Greenwood Art Walk on 9 and 10. We’ll be hosting an artist’s work, as will dozens of other businesses in the area. There also will be live entertainment and wine tastings up and down the street.
The busy season winds up May 15-18 with the four-day LYS (local yarn store) Tour. This year, 25 stores from Kent up to the Canadian border will be participating. There will be free patterns and prize drawings at each store, as well as bigger prizes each day of the tour. This event just gets bigger every year, drawing hundreds of local knitters as well as visitors from around the country.
