At Stitch Therapy!
Come get your stitch on (no matter what kind of stitch it is – knitting, crochet, sewing, anything) at Scratch Brick Oven in Johnson City at the corner of Roan + Unaka (here’s a map).
We’ll be stitching and chatting from 5p until…whenever we wear ourselves out!
You can drop by at any [...]
The Adventurous Lace class will be held May 13 + 27 in the beautiful Gardens at the Eureka Inn (just down the street from our former shop in downtown Jonesborough). I had hoped to start the class sooner, but the needles haven’t come in yet and several of you have mentioned that you can’t find [...]
Having a rough week?
Need a little therapy?
Come by today, anytime between noon & 2pm for Stitch Therapy!
If there are too many people to meet in the shop, we’ll be 2 doors down, at the gorgeous Historic Eureka Inn (there’s parking behind the Eureka that you are welcome to use!)

Last week I explained all the reasons why you might not want to knit Haruni.
But, that was just for the brand-new-to-increasing crowd.

I started the pattern last week and I am [...]
Tonight!
Bring your knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, braiding, sewing, stitching to the Eureka Inn in Historic Jonesborough for a time of fellowship, coffee and, of course, stitching!
Last week you voted on the lace you most wanted to knit…and you know what?
You voted for two classes!
Haruni got the most votes, but many of you, both in person and via email, expressed an interest in a learn to lace class.
And Haruni really isn’t a great pattern to learn on.
It IS beautiful.
And the pattern [...]
When a customer finds the perfect color, but it’s a sock yarn and she needs a worsted weight for her first sweater?
I email Mercedes (from Kitchen Sink Dyeworks) and she whips up the most perfect sweater yarn EVER. In 2 weeks!
Even better (for you!): she sent enough yarn to make another [...]
Last Saturday we picked up the whole shop and most of the yarn and moved (for the day!) to Sycamore Shoals Fiber Festival, organized by the Over Mountain Weaver’s Guild.
I had a really great time getting to know fiber-lovers from all over the area and sharing our yarn and classes with them.
Towards the end of [...]
Today we’re at the Sycamore Shoals Fiber Festival from 10am-5pm.
Completely free and filled with demonstrations and ideas for EVERY kind of fiber-crafting!
We are brining lots of yarn (some new yarns!), spinning fiber and shawl pins, so come by and say hello!

Happy Fiber Friday!
I’m super excited to share our newest addition to the shop – patterns! Since January’s hat class was so popular, we got three new hat patterns from CosyMakes.
CosyMake’s whimsical hat patterns and they are well-suited for small amounts of precious yarn:
Squares Squared
Pixie Hood (perfect for bulky handspun!)
