We've heard from so many of you that have come to check us out that:
#1 "It's really not any further"
#2 "It's SO much better!"
#3 "There's so much more room!"
and my favorite: "WOW, this is awesome!!"
Yes, the move was a bit unexpected; but sometimes life throws a curve ball and you manage to hit a double with it. That's truly how I look at this situation. We all feel that the move has been a very positive one. We will be able to hold more classes, expand our sewing class offering and even be able to expand into other yarn and fabric related activities. You, our faithful friends don't have to worry if there is going to be a class when you want to come in and knit and hangout (classes take place in the classrooms); there is always room for you during our regular hours! And with two separate areas to sit and knit, each accommodating at least 10-11 people you're sure to always find a seat!!
We really love the new Studio and hope that if you haven't, you come in and check it out soon!

Sunday was bittersweet; we had one of our busiest Sundays ever, but we also were saying goodbye to one of our dear customers. Margaret is moving back to Oregon and many of her knitting friends and members of the Panera Knitting Group she belongs to wanted to give her a little going away party and felt it only fitting that they have it at the Studio. They felt the Studio was the perfect setting to say "so long" since we're Margaret's favorite LYS, naturally we thought so too! It was great to see so many familiar and new faces come in and wish her a happy journey.
Good luck Maggie, we'll miss you!

Our first foray into service projects for charity was a success! We were able to make/collect 48 hand knit and crocheted baby hats to benefit Save the Children and Warm Up America!'s Caps for Good campaign to raise awareness on the issue of newborn and child survival in addition to providing a much needed necessity to newborns in developing nations around the world!
Thank you to ALL of you that took time out of your busy lives to spend evenings knitting (or crochet) teeny tiny baby hats with us, or making them on your own and dropping them off or bringing in yarn to donate for the cause as well. YOU made this a success! It truly warms my heart to see our customers send some handmade love to someone that you will never meet.
A special thank you has to go to Pat Rollins; a very thoughtful customer of ours. If it weren't for her I would never have known about the Caps for Good campaign. She brought all of the information and paperwork in one day thinking it was something we might like to do. She was right!
YOU ROCK PAT!
One of the desires I had when I was planning out this business was being able to encourage a community of crafters to participate in community service projects & charity events. Without getting too mushy or teary-eyed, I want you to know that YOU have helped me realize the best part of my dream of owning the Studio - giving back.
Okay...dabbing the eyes...we want to plan another service project, but this time I'd like to keep it in our community. If you have any suggestions, please email me so I can look into it.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in some fashion!
