"August rushes by like desert rainfall,
A flood of frenzied upheaval,
Expected,
But still catching me unprepared.
Like a matchflame
Bursting on the scene,
Heat and haze of crimson sunsets.
Like a dream
Of moon and dark barely recalled,
A moment,
Shadows caught in a blink.
Like a quick kiss;
One wishes for more
But it suddenly turns to leave,
Dragging summer away."
- Elizabeth Maua Taylor

August already! In order to milk every moment from the last of our summer, we have a full schedule of classes for all ages and abilities. If you had a goal to teach a child to knit or this was the summer you were going to learn to make socks, this is the time to do it. We have a kid’s knit, learn to knit, socks, picot edge shirt, limerick lace shawlette and more! Check out our calendar!

It’s a Thneed Party!
A what you ask?
I'm being quite useful. This thing is a Thneed.
A Thneed's a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need!
It's a shirt. It's a sock. It's a glove. It's a hat.
But it has OTHER uses. Yes, far beyond that.
You can use it for carpets. For pillows! For sheets!
Or curtains! Or covers for bicycle seats!"
-Words and illustration from The Lorax by Dr. Seuss.

September 11th we’re having a Thneed Party, but we need to start early! Come see our Thneeds and you’ll agree, you have to have one, too. For $40 you sign up and choose one ball of yarn to add to the collection (we’ll have an autumn palette). Staff have veto power; however, I’m sure they won’t need to use it. We need at least 15 thnerds (that would be knit thnerds) to make a good Thneed each. On the 11th, bring a bag lunch because we’ll be knitting our Thneeds from 10:30-5:30.
We are planning our Fall Fling and guess what? You don’t actually need to know how to knit!
It
is a
Fall Felting Fling
We’ll Nuno felt a scarf on Saturday at the Annex next door and do needle-felting and art-felting on Sunday.
We’ll be kicking off the Fall Fling on Friday night with a Yarn Tasting and have a Sit n’ Knit on Saturday,
so don’t fret, there will still be time to knit.
The Thayer’s Inn,
right across the street from Yarn Garden, is offering two nights for the price of one. Call the shop or e-mail to register. For $150, you’ll leave the weekend with a Nuno scarf, an art-felt decoration, and needle-felted flower pins. Supplies are included, plus great company and food. A deposit of $25 secures your place. Join us!
Thanks again for shopping at your local yarn store. In a world of internet shopping, we wouldn’t exist
without your patronage!
See you in the shop -
