I hope you received our email about the Mix Party we’re having at the shop. If not, here are the details:
On Saturday, October 24, the shop will be closed to have a Shibui Mix Party. The party is from 12 – 2, and each registered guest will receive samples of all Shibui yarns to play with. Antonia Shankland, who is a designer and a Shibui sales representative, will be there with samples already made of every possible combination, so you can see which you’d like to try. She’ll talk a little about the Mix concept. Bring your favorite needles in sizes 4 – 9 so you can knit, knit, knit. Plus there will be a trunk show of last winter’s designs for you to see and try on. (I could put a trunk show together just from our shop samples – we do love knitting with these yarns!)
It takes $10 to hold your place, which can be applied to your Shibui purchase or prepaid special order on that day. The number of attendees is strictly limited. We’ll have some light refreshments and lots of fun, so I hope you’ll register in time! (BTW, those three beautiful skeins above are a prize for one lucky attendee. In that one bundle, you have baby alpaca, extra fine merino, kid mohair, silk, and cashmere. If you can’t think of something wonderful to make with that, I don’t know what to do with you!)
Meanwhile, I hope you’re enjoying this wonderful weather and this beautiful time of year. It doesn’t get any better than this!
