Already August! Whew!
First off, be sure to plan and come by Spinning this Sunday! Elizabeth Ravenwood will be there, demonstrating Navajo plying with a drop spindle. If you haven’t met Elizabeth by now, you’re missing out—she’s one of the most genuinely nice and fun teachers/designers EVER! This is a free demo she’s doing just because she likes us (and we love her)!
Click on the links for the local yarn shops. There are classes getting underway and you don’t want to miss the opportunity to increase your fiber knowhow! Also, Ewe Knit is moving to bigger digs!
BTW, I think there’s a knitting group meeting in Tyrone. I stopped in Grand Coffee in Tyrone (if you haven’t been there, you should try it—they have wonderful Roobios Red Cappuccinos, Lattes, etc—all the taste, none of the caffeine or bad stuff!) and noticed that there was a calendar tacked up on their bulletin board. On a few of the Wednesdays, someone had penciled in “Knitting Group, 10-12.” If you’re in the area at the time, be sure to head that way and report back to us!
Also, as if I haven’t mentioned it to everyone 20 times yet, here’s 21: Go to Daisy Bakery! It’s between PTC and Fayetteville on Hwy 54 between the World Gym and Ace Hardware. You won’t regret it. They have smoothies, coffee drinks, bagels, and wonderful pasties; best of all, they offer samples! I can recommend everything in the place, but be sure to try the Lemon Pound Cake. YUM!!!
Starting this month, the Heritage at Peachtree Needlework Club will be meeting every week. Please feel free to drop in on any of these Tuesdays at Heritage at Peachtree, 3:30-4:30pm to enjoy your favorite needleworking and great company.
Congrats!

Janet sent: “Free patterns for chair cozies…yes, chair cozies.” These are for those ubiquitous molded plastic chairs seen worldwide. Here’s your chance to dress them up and make your chairs uniquely yours while you recycle some of the soda pop bottles (acrylic) extrusions in your stash.
