Opening Day!
Today is opening day for Mariner’s Baseball! I went to their website to check out the schedule for the season. This year it would be fun to plan ahead and get a group to meet up at the game!
Rangers vs. Mariners

The Seattle Mariners and Pacific Fabrics & Crafts invite you to enjoy the sixth annual Stitch ‘n Pitch Night at Safeco Field! Bring your knitting, stitching, quilting or other fiber arts projects to the game, get help from the experts, view the latest samples from area shops and meet other enthusiasts all while enjoying Mariners Baseball.
Your ticket includes a FREE limited edition Seattle Mariners Stitch ‘n Pitch Bobblehead (while supplies last)! You will be able to pick up your bobblehead by presenting your Stitch ‘n Pitch ticket at the table located in the Outside Corner (300-level, behind home plate). Photo coming soon!
DEADLINE TO PURCHASE: Wednesday, August 4 at NOON
GAME DATE: Thursday, August 5, 2010 – 7:10 p.m.

This year the promo is Bobbleheads! You have to buy tickets in the SnP section, though. We’ve gone for the last several years and have really had a great time. Mark your calendars and let’s start planning! Perhaps we can just order tickets directly as a group. Let me know what you think!

Kaya!
New yarn! Kaya is a bulky wool. For some reason I have lately had many requests for a bulky wool.
9 colors!
Now is the time to think about smaller projects and people do knit hats and mittens year around, they are the perfect portable projects! Get a jump on your holiday knitting, you won’t be sorry you did! If you’re like me, you start wishing you’d been thinking of knitting those things about the time you need them! 
I’m always happy to help you find patterns to knit new and fun things, there is a wealth of free patterns on line and I can print them out for you!
The synthetic and very popular Marble yarn is on order! This time I also ordered the baby line. They are slow shippers so it will be awhile, but it is on the way!
We’ve got several classes being considered and always love input as to what others want!
Make sure to join our facebook group!

new yarn ~ new magazine
I have a sock sampler of yarn from The Unique Sheep ordered. This will just be a small amount so we can see what the yarn is, but it’s pretty exciting. The Gradiance yarns look so enticing. They told me they dye to order but were looking to see what they had on hand so they could get it on it’s way to us as soon as they receive the check (which is on it’s way straight from the bank!)
The other exciting thing is the new special issue from Interweave called “Knitting Traditions”. I can barely put it down, it has 43 timeless projects and they are wonderful. Have you ever heard of Anna Makarovna in War and Peace? She knit two socks at once, one inside the other on the same needles. I have always been fascinated by that and thrilled to see the technique. The magazine is full of history.
~~~~~~~~~
The Yarn Corner will be closed on Friday and Saturday of this week for President’s weekend for a family time.
Drop in and say hi when you can!

Sock class!
It is so exciting to announce that we have some classes in the works!
The first one coming up is a sock class designed to teach a new toe-up method. It is called the Houdini sock and it’s a great new concept that gives a good fit. The class will be Feb. 20 at 9 a.m.
We are going to make a tiny sock in class to teach all parts of the sock but will make available some handouts to show how to make a full-size version.
Yarn will be included in the class fee as we will just need a small amount. A gauge swatch completed prior to class will be required. We will teach a cast-on method during class and will provide needles to practice on as we will use heavier yarn and bigger needles for that part.
Space is limited so contact us soon if you want to take part.
We have other class ideas, also and will let you know when those are ready to happen. We’re always open to ideas for classes you’d like to see, too.
There are other exciting things in the works so watch for announcements!
I think I have resolved the spam problem so should be back up and running now. However, I am not going to turn the comments back on until I am sure, so please email any comments for the time being.

Marble and Marble Chunky on the way~
When I logged in to write a new post, I saw that my previous post never published so I am very sorry for the long silence here.
I just returned from vacation and hopefully now that I have had some time to refresh, I will be better at keeping up with this.
While I was gone, the Marble and Marble Chunky flew off the shelves and I have barely any left. I called the company today and they said they are selling it so fast they cannot keep up with it. However, they said if I could give them an order today, they would slip it into the container headed for the states today. So, we’ll see how much of the yarn was still in stock! They are a great company to work with.
Because Wiitamaki’s is closed this Saturday, Sept. 5 for the Labor Day weekend, so is The Yarn Corner.
Drop in and say hi when you can!
