Love is in the Air…..
We have been busy here at Wynona Studios this new year! Lots of new knitters and crocheters being “born” (taking a Learn To class) including 10 more this week alone! Woohoo! Come sign up for a class yourself but clicking on the “classes” tab above. We love teaching people how to knit and crochet. It has also been fun to see how many people are taking the Learn to Drop Spindle classes and falling in love with spinning too. Sometimes its the same people learning to spin and then learning to knit or crochet. Multi-craftual! Love it!
Speaking of which, something really cool happened this week at the shop. A few months ago Judy bought some of the very lovely jacob/llama blend fiber from Drumcliffe Farms because she wanted to play with it. She spun it up into a few yards of handspun on her drop spindle and brought it back it so we could sell it. Yesterday someone else bought the yarn to use as accent yarn for a crocheted scarf. I just love that three different artists will have touched this creation. Jan and Jeff in raising, shearing and carding the fiber, Judy spinning it into yarn, and then Linda using it to make a scarf. We love that we were able to nurture this fiber from hoof to hook! Love it!
We have also signed up for the Second Annual Portland Yarn Crawl! We had a blast going to all of the yarn stores last year. It was so fun to see them all back to back and get a feel for each ones unique style, vibe and yarn. This year we are thrilled to be one of the stores on the crawl. http://www.portlandyarncrawl.com/ It is the first weekend in March from Friday the 4th through Sunday the 6th. Love it!
Lastly, we are making Valentines! We had a Valentines Workshop on Superbowl Sunday and had lots of fun. We are having another one this Saturday from 2pm-4pm again and are really looking forward to it. It is only $25 and we provide all the supplies to make one amazing valentine for someone special or as many as you can make in the two hours. Love it!
