Classes coming in September

I'm looking forward to seeing the September classes that will be offered. If Pixie offers the sock class, I'm signing up and will finish the class and the socks!
Dear Yarn Artists,

So many of you have asked if YarnArts teachers will still be teaching now that the store has closed and the answer is YES, YES, YES!

The following YarnArts teachers are still available to teach knit, crochet, spinning, dyeing, as well as private lessons. Hanny, Kristina, Pixie, and Joy. Since they're teaching on their own and no "middle man" to pay, I think you'll find that these classes will be very affordable. All of these ladies are excellent teachers and so very talented. Colorful Yarns (address below) has agreed to give a 10% discount on class materials to all Nest Knitter paid class participants. You will need to present a "Nest Knitter receipt" from your teacher to get the discount at Colorful Yarns.

YarnArts website will be closing in a few days, so if you would like to see future class schedules, you will need to go to the following YarnArts blog spot where all the teachers will post the details on their classes and workshops: http://yarnartsofparker.blogspot.com/

If you're interested in staying in touch with the YarnArts Nest Knitters group and hearing about future Sit & Knit socials, you're encouraged to join the Nest Knitters yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nestknitters/

Also, the very nice owner of Colorful Yarns, Tiffany, has offered a 10% discount coupon to YarnArts customers. This coupon is good until Friday, August 18th. Colorful Yarns is a lovely store with a huge selection of very beautiful yarns and priced right too! It's located in the, almost completed, remodeled South Glen Mall.

Take a look at how the new Encore Colorspun works up! I have always loved working with the Encore yarns -- they don't split and snag, feel nice, wear well and now they come in great self striping colors!
