Ewe & You's April News and Events


 
 
Hello Fiber Friends! Happy Spring and the beginning of Trunk Show Season!!!!!
But before we get to that excitement, we just finished up our fundraiser for Connecticut Cat Connection which included our blanket raffle. The winner of the blanket was Patrick Ellis and the big winners were the cats at CCC getting a donation of $1060!!!! Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and to those who participated in the Stash Swap Sale!    

Silver Key Stitches Trunk Show

This Saturday April 6th, Joanna will be with us for the 1st Trunk Show of the season!!!! She always brings her lovely collection of hand dyed yarn as well as great bags and accessories. This will also be the first opportunity to see her newest design. Yes, she is writing patterns too! 

We will be open 10am to 3pm. The plan is for her to set up outside so she has plenty of room so hope for nice weather!!!! 


Knit Socks from a Tube Workshop #2

Since there was so much interest in how to turn a sock tube into a pair of socks I will be offering this class again. This class will be held Sunday April 7th from 11am to 3pm. 

This will include the already knit sock tube and a ball of contrasting color of your choice. You will need to bring size 1 or 1.5 needles of your choice (some found a long circular was easiest), some sharp scissors, a darning needle and your knitting skills. This is not a beginner class but if you can knit and k2tog with confidence you can do it!

The workshop is $130 and requires registration. The yarn for the class is Laine Du Nord Watercolor Sock and Katia United Socks for the contrast. Sign up deadline is March 30th so I have time to make the tubes. Class is limited to 6 people. 

If you still want to do this class contact the store ASAP as there is still space. 


Events at Luppoleto Brewery

KNIT NIGHT and NEEDLE FELTING

Knit Night is open to everyone no matter what kind of maker you are!  Join us April 11th, the 2nd Thursday of the month for great drinks, maybe your favorite food truck and of course fiber fun! It starts at 6:30pm!!!!

This month's food truck for Knit Night is Rollin Smokehouse BBQ! I love the brisket fries!!!

Our needle felting class will be on the 18th at 6:30pm and we are making the sleepy gnome. Please note this is a Thursday evening this month. The gnome is sleepy for whatever reason (possibly too much beer) and taking a rest under his umbrella mushroom. This design allows you to learn to make a simple armature and be creative with your own design. Sign up will be available on Luppoleto's website. The food truck that night is Fat City Kid.
