Retreat Reminder and New! New! New!

Today is the last day of summer and that means the Yarn Cravin' Fall Retreat is right around the corner. As of today, 32 people have signed up for the fabulous fun that awaits October 15-16. There are still EIGHT spots left, and we want to make sure you don't miss out on any of the fun and fellowship of this amazing event. Stop in the shop to pay your deposit and reserve your spot. If you've never attended one of our knitting retreats, get a friend and sign up! Your life will never be the same. I have it on good authority that there's a Mystery Knit Along (KAL) in the works!

September 12 was the Trunk Show for Abstract Fibers and it was great fun! Yarn Cravin' was full of wonderful people and beautiful yarns and fibers.

If you weren't able to make it to the trunk show, never fear. Abstract Fibers will be staying at Yarn Cravin', and if there's something you want that is out of stock, we can easily order it for you!

Author Event/Book Signing! There are flyers in the shop announcing this event as well. October 1, at 1:30, at St. Luke's Hospital, Mary Lou Carney, the author of The Truly Terribly Horrible Sweater That Grandma Made Me will be speak and be available to sign books purchased there. We have this book in the shop if you'd like to see it, or purchase it for a loved one. This book is co-authored with Debbie Macomber. Tickets are $10

Boxes and boxes of new yarns for fall and winter are arriving almost daily and some of those yarns are leaving the shop almost as fast as we can price them and get them on the shelves! Here's a peek at some of the new goodies!

Lastly, co-owner Bobbie recently had major foot surgery and will be out of commission for a little while since she has to be non-weight bearing on that leg. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. We miss her at Yarn Cravin', and she misses being there! Hang in there, Bobbie!
