Ok, it has been way too long since we have had an update, let me just quickly say that it was an unfortunate password issue that we just got resolved yesterday.  Knit does happen, even to me.  

I would like to take this time to sincerely thank those of you that have braved the construction and the heat to continue supporting Knit Happens!  It has not gone un-noticed and is greatly appreciated!

Now, on to the good stuff, new yarn has arrived!  We now have:

• Granite by Nashua, it is 70% wool, 30% acrylic, beautifully dyed yarn 3.75 to 4 sts per inch.  
• Paradise by Nashua, it is 48% wool & 48% alpaca 4% nylon which again is 3.75 to 4 sts to the inch in solid colors.  
• The new Gedifra line is in... all I can say is WOW!  True to Gedifra style, the patterns are stunning and the new yarns are gorgeous!
  
• Our new sock yarns include Regia's "flusi" sock yarn, brand new this season!  It is the same great 4 ply Regia sock yarn only in fun new colors.  
• We also now have Best Foot Forward sock yarn by Nashua.
  

I have decided to continue with weekly yarn sales until Labor Day.  We need space for new yarns that are arriving daily.  

Also, the Fall Class Schedule is now posted on the blog, and is in the store, be sure to sign up early to secure your space.  Don't forget, once you are paid in full for a class, you will receive 15% off all yarns not already on sale until your class is over.

As a final note and update, Mary is doing well, home resting... well at least she is suppose to be resting, but I think we can all relate to how hard that can be at times.  She is looking forward to returning to Knit Happens, as we are looking forward to having her back in the game!  I will keep you all posted as to when that will be.  Barbie will be back with us soon from the islands off of Seattle.  She spent her summer walking her loving dogs by the beach, sewing seeds, composting and making everything beautiful, just the way Barbie does to everything she touches.  Emily started taking classes at ASU this week, so she will be in the store less... we will miss her, but support higher education.  The rest of us, Viki, Debi and I are plugging away and looking forward to seeing all of you in the store soon.

For now, fair well and happy knitting, 

CJ Peloso

  

STORE ACCESS

If you have been by the store lately, you will notice that the city now has blocked off the front entrance to our store completely.  You can still park on 78th and walk through the alley into the store, or come through the alley turn into our parking lot and park there.  We again apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for continuing to make your way into the store!

SUMMER SALE

Believe it or not summer is almost over - well, summer as far as school is concerned anyway.  I cant believe that my youngest is starting her senior year at high school in just a week.  It is strange to think of summer being over when it is still in the 100 degree temperature range.  I remember going to school in my new WINTER   outfit - but I digress!

As a final incentive before your schedule starts to fill up driving kids from place to place; come in and take adavantage of our DEBBIE BLISS SALE!  That's right!  CJ decided to put the following Debbie Bliss  yarns 

on special starting Tuesday July 21 - Saturday July 25. 

Choose from the following:

Debbie Bliss Pure Silk - 35% off

Debbie Bliss Cashmerino - DK, Aran and Chunky - 40% off

Debbie Bliss Rialto - 4ply, DK and Aran - 50% off

New Arrivals

We are beginning to get in some of the orders that CJ placed in the last month or so.  For Lantern Moon enthusiasts we have just received  40" long circular needles in both ebony and rosewood in every size.   The longest length we have carried to date has been 32 inch - so for those wider projects this length will be perfect.  As always the needles are lovely, the cable stays straight and the needles turn on the cable so no twisting!

Last winter we began carrying Susuan Todd Bags.  They proved to be very popular and we sold out rather quickly.  Well, they're back!  They are called "The Recycled Bag" - made out of recycled knitted sweaters and are beautifully made.  You can be green and have a great bag at the same time!  Each bag is made from a number of different sweaters in either plain or fancy designs, fully lined with pockets for all your supplies - several sizes available.   Check them out before they disappear.

We have also received Namaste bags and needle cases.  Check out the various styles and colors.

Finally CJ managed to get a special deal on a yarn from Jojoland called Baritone.  For only $3.00 a ball you get a 100% wool, worsted weight yarn.  This would be great to make into a great sweater for colder climates or use as a felting yarn.  Many great colors available - but once it's gone it's gone - so get it while you can.

4th of July Sale Extended

It's just after 2:00 p.m. on July 4th and man are we tired!  This is good news for you!  We are too tired to even think about packing up the yarn - so CJ has decided to just leave the yarn on sale for another week.  That's right!  If you missed the sale or wish you had purchased more - come on in.  

The only downside of this is is that our usual service of winding yarn may be curtailed somewhat during this time.  We will try our best to wind yarn for you but we may have to ask you to come back to the store to give us a bit of extra time to get it done.  

  

Road Construction - latest

It seems that construction is changing day by day in front of the store. As of Saturday afternoon the city opened 78th street. You can now come into the store on the dirt road following the cones or park along 78th street. The city has also posted Business Access signs. Of course this may all be changed when we go back to work on Tuesday - but we hope 78th will stay open through the July 4th sale. Dont forget that the Knit In will still be on
Thursday evening during the sale - so come and knit and look over the sale selection.

Thanks and we will keep you as up to date as we can.
