Lularoe Pop Up Boutique

This is a unique opportunity to combine comfortable clothes for the summer with your yarn picks for your next knitting project. Match up the perfect cool morning shawl colors, pick up skeins of a summer bright in cotton or linen to knit a layered tee, or accent your new outfit with a new spring scarf or knitting bag!

Corey's blurb -

"Pop in for some quick shopping or come and hang out. There will be fabulous clothing, knot and styling tutorials and of course, delicious snacks and beverages. Bring yourself or bring your girlfriends! All are welcomed!"

Welcome Sunshine - and Alana Dakos!

After what feels like a deluge of rainy weather, we are ready to welcome back some sunshine this Saturday, just in time to spend the afternoon with Alana Dakos!

Buttonholes and Bands Workshop

Saturday, January 14th 1-3 pm

Alana Dakos is a designer and author of multiple pattern books including Coastal Knits and Botanical Knits. Her designs range from hats, mitts and shawls to cardigans for women and girls which feature her signature leaf and foliage motifs.

If you have ever struggled with adding professional looking buttonholes to your cardigan or if you are new to the skill, you will want to sign up to join us in this workshop.

Alana will be demonstrating 3 different techniques for creating buttonholes, how to determine button placement and position a matching band.

Come by or call GYG Yarn Studio at (916) 899-5416 to reserve a spot!

2 Days Left to Join a Winter Swap

There are 2 days left to join a Never Not Knitting Winter Swap featuring an opportunity to knit and receive a knitted gift of an Alana Dakos pattern. As a bonus, you'll receive a discount code for 20% off a pattern purchase.

Check out the Never Not Knitting group on Ravelry at http://www.ravelry.com/groups/never-not-knitting, then select the Winter Wonderland Swap discussion thread.

Check out the first entry on page 1 for the details. You answer a simple list of questions about your preferences and on November 10th you'll be matched with your secret Santa recipient. You'll knit and send a gift package to your secret Santa recipient and in turn you will receive a gift too! The best part is that you know your recipient will be knit-worthy.

If you're worried about having time to knit before the holidays, you need to get your gift out before January 31st, so you can start after things wind down. It sounds like great fun!

Note: discount prices do not apply to classes, workshops or services.

On top of your discount, you will receive a raffle ticket for one of our amazing prizes! You don't need to be present to win, but you're welcome to hang around for the drawing. We invite you to join us for food, drink, great company and prizes - and of course, wonderful yarn!

Come browse as we start to introduce our new fall yarns, like JaggerSpun. We're carrying two yarns in this line of limited production yarn from Springvale, Maine - 100% Organic Merino Wool in sport weight and Super Lamb, a machine-washable Merino yarn. These soft, squishy yarns come in a variety of vibrant colors with plenty in stock for a sweater or shawl.
Just in time to start your cold weather knitting!
