June Newsletter

Summer is fast approaching. Although with the cold days we’ve been having you would not know it!

With summer comes thoughts of Christmas! Yes ….Christmas! Now is the time to start planning your hand knit Christmas presents.
Come in with your ideas and check out what I have in the shop! If you have no ideas yet come and find a book or get a magazine to inspire you! You can also sign up for a summer class to help you learn a new technique or give you time to create something unique!

Classes in June include Knitting without a Cable Needle on June 4thand Lace Knitting (where you will make a lace scarf) June 5, 12 and 19th.
Would you like to make a sock for someone? Learn the basics in my mini sock class on June 7th.
Do you know someone who wants to learn to knit? Tell them about the Beginner Skills class on June 18th.

All classes through June, July and August are listed on the web site www.kniterary.com. You can also pick up a schedule while you are in the shop.

May 10th was an amazing day here at 229 Brock Street North with both Kniterary and Hedgehog Stitchery filled to capacity with shoppers all day long. Thanks to all my volunteer knitters who mad the day even more special! Michelle’s Crock Pot dyed yarn that was done then is now on the shelves and ready for purchase!




Special Events coming up include:

May 31st : Kniterary will have a booth at The Spinning Wheel Alpaca Farm in Enniskillin. A great day trip for you and the children who can pet the Alpacas!

June 14th is World Wide Knit in Public Day (WWKIP) and Kniterary is host to the event in Durham. Come and bring your knitting! You will be able to relax on the grounds of the shop or venture forth into the local parks or downtown establishments. I am coordinating a downtown shops tour where you will be able to get your WWKIP Passports signed or stamped for discounts at Kniterary. There will also be a food donation bin for the local soup kitchen. Any one bringing in a non-perishable food item will receive a 10% off coupon.
I will keep you all updated on the day’s happenings as they are confirmed.

Knit on Kniterarians!!
