Hello fiber artists,
We are trying a new tack this year and will be manning or woman-ing a booth at the Grand Blanc Art Fair in Physicians Park this week end Aug 8th and 9th. Look for us and stop by to chat. We will be having periodic spinning demonstrations and of course showing some yarn, patterns and local artist's accessories. The projects bags and pouches made by a Flushing artist are especially nice. You go Cherry. Come watch a local spinner turn wool into yarn, this process still fascinates me, and don't I wish I had the patience for this. Help support Grand Blanc and the local businesses at this community event.
Our traditional Knitting 911 help session on Saturday will be cancelled at Ewe to You Yarns as we will be at the Art Fair. Hold those questions and small problems for Wednesday's 911 at 2pm. More later, after the fact

Whats Going On
Hey Ladies,
Jess here. Just popping in to let you guys know whats going on around the store. Since we were missing a lot of our new books for the Easter Sale because we hadn't gotten them in yet, until this morning (hooray!) we have decided to extend the 20% off all books until the end of this week. So for all you guys who missed out on the sale, now is your chance to at least get in on the book action, which is better then no action if I do say so myself.
And for all you sock lovers out there, along with the book order, came 5 copies of Cookie A's new sock book, Sock Innovation (a wicked super hooray!!!). So get over here and get your copy for 20% off!! We also got in more Finishing Techniques and Knitters Handbook for anyone who has been waiting for them to arrive.
Sock Club: If your thinking of joining, you need to do it very soon. The first packages will be going out shortly. We have gotten our specially dyed yarn and our goodies, so dont wait any longer or you'll miss out on all the fun.
New Open Sock Class: We've started doing a new open 6 week sock class where you buy your seat for $80 (mind you its a 6 week class instead of 3 thats why the price is more) and you basically do any sock project (or projects) you want for 6 weeks. I hang out and help you out with whatever you need my help with. We thought this would be a great idea for those groups of people who really want to stick together but just aren't at the same point as everyone else, or want to do something different. So we decided to just have an open 6 week class where everyone can choose whatever sock project they want. Class starts this Wednesday from 4-6p for the next 6 weeks and it appears I have 2 seats left in it as of right now. So hurry and grab your seat if your interested. I will also set up time slots for other groups who want to stay together and do some other projects other then socks. This "Open" class is a new thing and can apply to anything.
We also just got in a whole bunch of new Eco friendly, organic cottons. So if thats your flavor, come check it out. They are quite nice and we have some good colors.
And an update on The Knit Kit. They were backoredered and have finally gotten their second batch in and our order should of gone out Thursday, along with Rowans Kidsilk Haze lace yarn. So look forward to those goodies as well.

February Lady Sweater
Saturday is the last day of the Easter Sale at Ewe to You Yarns in Grand Blanc. All books, all patterns, most Noro brand yarns, eco cottons and more are still on sale. Stock up for the summer. Hunt for a hidden egg and check for extra sale coupons inside it. Hope to see you there.
On a more topical note, I got in touch with and have heard back from Pamela Wynne. As you all know, she is the author of the revised February Sweater for women that has been so hot lately. She has graciously suggested the guidelines she would like to be followed when we use her pattern in a class. They are more than fair and very reasonable. Thank you Pamela.
You can find her pattern on Ravelry and on her website www.flintknits.com . It is a great pattern and a great teaching aid..and makes a great sweater. Thanks again Pamela.

New Years Day Fashion Show
It's time to show off all those projects you've been working on all year. If you got the materials at Ewe To You Yarns then lets see those projects. Lets hear your thoughts on them. Lets see you strut your stuff in them. Bring them in on January 1st (as many of them that qualify) and join the fashion 'show and tell' from 2pm to 4pm. Then leave your projects with us and let us display them for 2 weeks. Send your friends, neighbors and family in to vote on them to be eligible for a Grand Prize and a years worth of bragging rights. They will be able to vote by purchasing items from the shop or donating to the Humane Society through us here at Ewe To You Yarns in Grand Blanc. For every $5.00 purchased or donated they will receive 5 stars to be placed next to the project/projects of their choice. They will be allowed to vote as many times as they have stars. Yehaaa. Be sure to send friends in to vote that would like to see you win.....Don't have the project because it has already been gifted? Just bring in a picture to be displayed. Your project s must have been made with materials from Ewe To You Yarns.
Here are a few projects that may be in in the running.
