Knitting with Jane |
free |
Are you done trying to teach your lunch buddies how to knit? Or sick of people in restaurants looking at your sock funny or asking questions about your knitting while your mouth is full of lunch? Then join Jane for some casual, fun, knitting time. Take some time out of your busy day to sit down, chat and knit with some like-minded folks. Lunch won’t be provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own. And no, you won’t be required to share with others...but...ummm...if you’re not gonna eat that cookie... |
Fridays in May: from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. |
Hostess: Jane (of course!) |

we don’t carry every single type of yarn or knitting supply in existence. What
we do have we are really proud
to offer and we work very hard to give you beautiful, high-quality products at
the best prices we can. We try not to turn away anyone who needs help, but if
we don’t recognize either your yarn, your needles, or your pattern as coming
from us then it’s unfair to ask us to give you free assistance or classes at
the same price as the folks who do buy their class or project supplies from us.
We are here and happy to help, and we love seeing some of the beautiful yarn
and supplies that are only available elsewhere; but if you scratch our back,
we’ll be even more willing and happy to scratch yours. Or, to put it another

dealership and expect them to honor your
