Spring & SALE Time in Te Kuiti
Just about every person I talk to lately has a comment about our weather – and they are not nice comments. ‘Enough rain in Te Kuiti to keep us going until this time next year’ seems to be the feeling. But spring must be coming, the kowhai over the road is flowering, the tuis are happy and Savitri (who I share shop space with) is designing and making summer samples – lovely clothes for little girls, and more. Now is the time that all switched on knitters enjoy – sale time. For the past few weeks I have had a selection of stock on special. Mostly 4ply and DK. Now there is more Monday 12 September ‘The Great Crucci Wool Sale’ starts. 53% - 60% off some. Not all shades. Crucci Hippie Hanks 18ply $22 now $9 Crucci Natural Wonder Artisan $14.90 now $5.90 Crucci Natural Wonder Colours/Groove $16.90 now $7.90 Crucci Sloppy Joe 14ply $8.90 now $3.90 Crucci Angelina 8ply (with mohair) $8.90 now $3.90 Crucci Decadent 14ply $8.90 now $3.90 Workshops/Classes These have been ticking along, with at least 1 a week, some weeks up to 4. I am not able to offer a full list of classes heading into October as I am waiting see when I will fly to be with my daughter in Christchurch when she has surgery. Recently held Macramé and Dream Catcher classes arranged to suit customers. Coming up I do have: Knit Crochet classes – Wednesday 7.00 – 9.00 Check with Sue after end of September re dates Advent Calendar starting tonight 14 Sept but happy to keep this going for any new interest. Weave a Scarf – Continuous Strand Weaving Sat 23 September Nuno Felting – explore the possibilities Tue 26 September 6.00 Learn to Spin – one person about to start, more welcome. Do mention what you want to do, I don’t have room for large classes so very happy to create a class to suit you, then have a few others come as well. Craft & Quilt Fair This was a new experience for me, as I was invited to be an “Artist @ Work” Just weaving and talking for 3 days. – Some would say this is my calling in life. It was good fun after a nervous start. Plenty of contacts and people really interested as well as others who wanted to share their skills with me. (Tatting, weaving, knitting, crochet. String Art discussions as well) I’m looking forward to a busy couple of weeks. Sue
