Valentines Day is a time of love and appreciation. To show our love and appreciation for you, our customers, we're offering 20% off all store merchandise Saturday, February 12th (10am - 5pm) and Sunday, February 13th, 2011 (noon - 4pm).
We hope that 2011 has been treating you well. This February we're offering some old favorites and some exciting new classes. If you don't see a class you're interested in, always remember that we have our knitting clinics ($3) on Monday evenings from 6-8pm and Wednesday afternoon from 1-3pm, and beading clinics ($5) most Sundays from 1-3pm, where you'll get expert help with the project that you are interested in.
Our new February 2011 class calendar is available on our website; the links that didn't work in the e-mail DO work on the website as long as your browser allows popups.
Are You on Ravelry?If you have already discovered Ravelry, then you know what a great tool this website is. If you haven't joined the Ravelry world then let us introduce you. Ravelry is akin to the Facebook of knitters and crocheters. Over the next month or so, Knits & Pearls staff will be working on adding all of our store samples to our Ravelry page KnitsandPearlsMN.
If you do nothing else with the site, it is an amazing tool for finding patterns - many free - with advanced pattern search options that allow you to find patterns for specific things (hats, sweaters, socks), for specific kinds of yarn (DK, worsted, super bulky), and yarn yardage (perfect when you have a specific amount of stash you want to use), and that's just the basics of the advanced search. For Valentine's Day, we did a search for 'hearts' and specified that we only wanted patterns with pictures, knit patterns, and patterns that were free. We found this cutie that you could still whip up this weekend:
