Ewe's May News and Events


 
 

Happy May!!! 

May is my favorite month of the year! First of all it's my Birthday month and its really the first month where spring is in full bloom. We will finally be able to spend some time outside under Ewe's Awning enjoying the weather. We hope you will join us!

This month there are some special hours to be mindful of, our knit and crochet alongs are back, we will have an emotional support chicken class and there's a special challenge for everyone!  


Knit or Crochet Every Day in May Challenge

To join in this challenge come in and grab a calendar, or download one at this link https://media.rainpos.com/13039/May_Calendar.pdf and if that doesn't work send me an email. If you knit or crochet everyday in May, even just a few stitches, check off the day. Complete the calendar and bring it in by World Wide Knit in Public Day on June 8th and get 10% off your purchase and get entered in a surprise goodie bag drawing! 


Knit and Crochet alongs are back!
We will have both a Knit and a Crochet along ths month! 
The crochet a long will begin on Monday the 6th at 7pm via Zoom. We are making the Byte Cowl by Berroco. It is a mosaic crochet cowl, worked flat and then seamed with finishing edges added, I worked up some of it before LYS Day and it is really fun and different from any thing else we have done as a CAL. SO if you'd like to join us there are still a few kits made up from LYS Day or you can get creative with something else we have in the store! If you purchased a kit during LYS Day and would like to join let me know. As usual if using stash yarn the cost to join is $10 and includes all instruction needed along the way. 
 
The knit along project is the Steorra Cowl. The cowl pattern is avalaible in the store and on Ravelry. I just finished writing it for LYS Day and knitted it in KnittenWord Dalia, a fingering weight yarn with silk. Any 2 skeins of fingering will get you 2 cowls without a problem. I have another one on the needles right now, hoping to finish by the end of the week. Its a fun knit with a little cables, a little slip stitches and some colorwork. This KAL will begin on Tuesday the 7th at 7pm. If you bought yarn during LYS Day or buy the pattern from Ravelry and want to join the zoom let me know. 

Emotional Support Chicken Class
Yes, the stupid chicken.... yes I have already knit 3, and yes I will be making another one (maybe more). This class has been requested by quite a few people so hey let's emotionally support each other as we make a flock! This will be a live in person class!!!!! Mark the calendar for May 15th and 22nd from 5:30pm to 7pm. The class will cost $30 a person for any help you need along the way. We have lots of fun ideas for yarn but this is a fantasic stash dive project! We also have a huge variety of safety eyes available in the store. Bring your own polyfil! Please call or stop in the store to sign up. 

Knit Night at Luppoleto Brewery

Knit Night at Luppoleto is the 9th starting at 6:30pm, and the food truck is King of Pearl. Join us for a night out doing what we love! It's fun time and a great way to meet new fiber friends! 


Needle Felting at Powder Hollow Brewery

This months needle felting will be on the 24th at Powder Hollow Brewery in Enfield! We are making the flower that can be a pin or magnet. If you missed this one when I did it in February, now is your chance. It is a fun yet rather simple design using cookie cutters. It is a good one for kids too! The class is at 6:30pm and sign up will be on their website.
