July 1, 2009 holiday hoursThis year is just zipping by! We’ll be closed on Saturday, July 4th, so staff can celebrate Independence Day with family. Orders of fall yarn are arriving in a steady cavalcade already. If you have time before you start your holiday celebrating, come watch us unpack box after box! Have a safe 4th everyone! Filed Under: General June 9, 2009 short hours on Thursday this weekWe’ll be closing at 4:00 on Thursday this week; I’ll be at market buying lots of great new yarn just for you, and I haven’t yet figured out how to be in two places at once. Regular Thursday hours will resume next week, when I will be back, and Baby Joe will be here for a visit. He’ll have to help me run things on Thursday, since his folks are going to the beach and Grandpa has rehearsal that night. Come say hi and give him a squeeze! Filed Under: General June 1, 2009 It’s June Already!Hard as it is to believe, we are beginning the sixth month of this year! Where oh where has the time gone? This is also the first Monday in June, which means it’s time for Spin Group to meet, from 4:00 until 7:00. I’ve just received the catalog from Ashland Bay Trading and will be putting together my first order. Come see the gorgeous fibers they have available! Filed Under: General May 21, 2009 holiday hoursWe’ll be closed on Monday, May 25th to celebrate Memorial Day. Regular hours resume on Tuesday. Have a great weekend everyone, and come back next week for photos of new yarn I’ve ordered for Fall. Filed Under: General May 21, 2009 sad newsWe learned this morning that former Yarn Expressions employee and long time friend Edna Lighton died on Tuesday. She recently had been diagnosed with ALS; when I talked to her two weeks ago she was determined to fight this insidious disease with all her might. Edna was one of the first people to walk into Yarn Expressions when it opened 14 years ago. She often would show up on a Saturday afternoon to keep me company and ended up working with us for several years until her retirement in 2006. Those of you who’ve spent time in our shop will remember her amazing ability to knit up beautiful sweaters in no time flat, her friendly manner that immediately put people at ease, and her willingness to help anyone fix a knitting problem on the spot. The paper says the viewing will be on Friday at Laughlin Funeral Home. Filed Under: General May 3, 2009 It’s our anniversary — time for a SALE!It’s our 14th anniversary, and it’s time to celebrate.

Filed Under: Sale April 9, 2009 break inYarn Expressions will be closed today, April 9th, because the store was broken into last night. We need the day to get our accounts in order, deal with all the things that need to be dealt with, and have a good cry. They didn’t destroy the store, but they sure destroyed my faith in mankind. We’ll be open again tomorrow at the regular time. Hope to see you then. Meg Filed Under: General March 30, 2009 Be sure to get the latest newsAre you on our e-list?

They’re all listed on the calendar (link in the panel to the right) and are on our class list. Lynne Vogel will be back on Sunday, April 19th, to teach beginning spinning on a wheel. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to make yarn on a spinning wheel, this is your chance to learn from a master. The class will be very small — just 5 students — so register early if you’re interested. Speaking of spinning, Spin Night starts again on April 6th. We’ve moved to once a month, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. Bring your wheel or spindle and enjoy the fun. In June, our Mitered Square Memory Keeper Blanket class will be making a repeat performance. So many people have seen it at the shop and expressed interest that we had to add this to the schedule. I’ll be teaching this on two Monday nights in June from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Gather up your sock yarn leftovers and join us for some fun. Baby Alert! So many people have asked about our new grandson that we decided to set up a Meet the Baby event when he’s in town. He and his parents (and Crazy Aunt Liz) will be hanging out at the store on Saturday, April 4th, beginning at 1:00. This also happens to be his dad’s birthday, so we might just have cake and party hats too. Filed Under: General January 25, 2009 Introducing…Two new arrivals at Yarn Expressions:
Our final introduction is of the newest arrival to the Yarn Expressions family. Introducing our grandson, Baby Joe. He was born on Monday, January 19th and is the best little baby boy around. Grandma’s not biased, not one little bit! I have a feeling that I’ll be on the road back and forth to Tennessee a lot over the next few months, just to get my share of smooches in.
