June 8th, Saturday is Knit in Public Day! That's right, there is a day for everything! So bring your knitting needles, crochet hooks, spinning wheels, any fiber related items and come sit outside at Yarn Heaven, we have the freeway in front of us and hopefully won't cause any accidents. The entire strip center is ours on Saturday, wouldn't it be awesome to see knitters and crocheter's lined up knitting and crocheting? Our AC is working again, thanks to all of our wonderful customers who attended our need a new AC unit sale! If it gets too warm come on inside and see if you can't find a few cool ideas for starting new projects or finishing old ones!
And to make this even more fun, I have just decided to give those coming out to knit in public 10% off on any Sock Yarn or Kits in the the store. You must come prepared to knit at least one inch to get this discount!
It's the last chance to sign up for the lovely Ringlet Tank Class starting tomorrow, one of our last free classes! This top was really fun to do and I learned alot. I love the German method of short row shaping for the sleeves, you can do shaping in the waist or not, your choice. I can't believe how good the top feels out of Setanova. A Cotton/Silk blend that is just awesome for Texas weather. It really feels like you are wearing nothing! I have started my second one I like this pattern so much. It is really a very timeless piece and will be a staple in my wardrobe for a very long time. Give me a call here at the shop if you would like to join the class.

And next week, we get to honor those wonderful fathers in our lifes. I am very lucky this year to be able to spend the day with my dad, in California. I hope that y'all have special plans with your fathers also. My dad is not a suit and tie kind of guy, but he does love hand knit socks, and yes he will be getting a pair and since his birthday is the day after father's day, he might be getting two pair!
As always, this is a special invitation to join us on Thursday nights. We have so much fun, and last night we got to order from Danny's! Our old pizza buddies, they also have left the old strip center and are now located at California and Cooper, in the strip center on the SW side of the street! I think we will be seeing lots more of these pizzas!
Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are creeping up on us. We are preparing to go into our summer hours. We are considering closing on Mondays and would like to get your input on that. As it stands now we will be closing at 4Pm on Monday, Friday and Saturday, starting on June 10th. Please let us know if it is important to you that we stay open on Mondays throughout the summer. Time to get a new project started, finish an old one, just keep those hands busy and don't think about the heat! We really look forward to your feedback and thank you in advance!
