Happy September! Once Labor Day passes and the weather starts to cool, we start looking for knitting, spinning and weaving events to pop up. Everyone gathers at fiber festivals and workshops, enjoying apple cider and pumpkin weather. Knitting becomes a satisfying way to spend a quiet evening at home, or a get together with friends. It is amazing how much learning happens in any group of knitters and spinners who gather to chat. The TOMTEN Knit A Long is in progress online in the Countrywoolers group on Ravelry. This week, another Knit A Long, the DESIGN YOUR OWN FALL TUNIC, will start. Come on in and join us! This Fall Countrywool will sponsor two weekend events and a smattering of one day workshops to help further our collective knowledge of knitting and spinning. The weekend retreats coming up are both knitting events, one happening in a cottage right on the beach in northern Massachusetts, and the other at the comfy Winter Clove Inn up in the Catskill Mountains of New York. We hope some of you can join us. This Winter, and next Spring, the opportunities continue. After many requests, I have added a January KNITWORKING retreat to the lineup to fill a need for those who are stalled in the finishing of their projects, and as a place to hold our first ever yarn, needle, pattern and book swap.. As you peruse when and where we are getting together, and how much your pocketbook can afford, please know in this economy we are all being squeezed. I have had to cancel the up and coming spinning retreat due to insufficient registration, and that can happen for any retreat. I have offered discounts for those who REALLY want to come and can register early, and for their friends also, so hopefully that will help. I am also offering a couple of one-day and 3 hour classes in some new locations in upper New York State. Read all the details on the CLASSES page of Countrywool's website. And I will leave you with this thought...A knitting weekend retreat is an experience that is hard to describe. You learn, you laugh, you eat, you rest, you make new friends. It is a gift to yourself. Do you have family who would want that for you, too? Consider asking for a retreat, or part of one, as a gift from them. One of our retreaters received Countrywool gift certificates from everyone as her Christmas gift, and put them together for not just one, but two retreats. retreats this fall, winter & spring... | |||

| For serious 128 TWEED lovers...have I got a deal for you.... buy 100 skeins and receive a 40% discount. That's right...get first quality yarn at HUGE discount prices!(runs from today through September 30, 2010) There are no limits on how many people can be involved in this purchase, so bring a group of friends and split up the deal. The only rule.one check out slip for the transaction, so you will have to divvy up the contributing monies/yarns on your own. Limited to store stock. Cash or check for this...no credit cards. Internet ordering is fine...US flat rate shipping: $25 for the box east of the Mississippi River, $35 west of the Mississippi River. (to one address only) (Canadians inquire...shipping will change) Call ahead if you wish and I'll put the coffee on! Spend the entire afternoon making color choices and planning projects.
