It's time to start stocking merchandise in the new store location!

Hello everyone! Here's hoping that you are all having a lovely holiday season with your loved ones!! And wishing you all a very happy new year! As you can see, everything is taking a little longer than originally planned in setting up the new store, yet slowly but surely it is all coming together very nicely. Now it is time to start stocking the merchandise.... a big task no doubt!
I will keep you posted....
~Anneke~

Another Update!

We will be having a Holiday Party on Thursday December 30th, and GRAND OPENING of the new store location on Saturday January 15. Stay tuned for details.... Mark your calendars!

Ordering Yarn!

Spent a lovely afternoon with Darry from Knitting Fever, we met at Whole Foods and I ordered lots of new yarn for the opening of the new location. Some really fun new stuff, and of course lots of Noro and Debbie Bliss.... And great, great patterns. Stay tuned...

Finally An Update From Anneke's!!!

My sincerest apologies for having gone off the screen for so long, but I cannot even begin to tell you how incredibly BUSY I have been! First of all, it took me a good two weeks to move ALL the stuff out that huge warehouse, I guess it is only when you move that you realize how much stuff you really have.... Then, I decided that this would be a great opportunity to do inventory, something that is so hard to do in the midst of running the business... And guess what, that took me well over two weeks, incredible!!
I have now finally settled on the new location (I am still keeping it a secret though, until I am ready to open up for business!!!) and now the fun begins. I will start to paint, to decorate, order new merchandise and have everything just perfect for the Grand Opening. Just remember that I said it will be smaller, Ok?... I am hoping for a December 1st opening, but it may be December 15th... Soon I will start to post pictures of the progress I am making.
Thank you all for the very kind emails you have been sending me, and thank you for your patience!!!
XOXO
Anneke

This absolutely gorgeous throw is Hara's version of the "Almond" throw in the Colinette "Orchard" book.

Thank you for allowing us to display this beautiful piece in the shop, it was a real treat!

Summer Hours & Christmas in July!

We hope that those of you who are toughing it out and are in South Florida for these hot summer months, are having a great summer! Of course we also wish a great summer to those of you lucky enough to escape for a while.... so jealous...

Entrelac on Sundays at 1:30

Join us once again for our Entrelac on Sundays "support group". Bring in your current Entrelac project, or start a new one. Wouldn't you know it? Diane of course finished hers already... I think she is ready to start another. Isn't it beautiful? You too can have one!

Thanks for sharing Diane!!

Diane came by the shop today to show two of her nearly-finished knitted projects!! She does such beautiful work, and more importantly she gets all of her projects done in a timely manner!! I am so jealous.... She brought in her beautiful Squares blanket, a result of the Square-of-the Month class with Andi (please note, Diane added a few squares that were not part of the class....), and she brought in her gorgeous Noro Entrelac jacket... Have a look!

Anneke's in Spring 2010 Interweave Crochet!!

Interweave Crochet, Spring 2010. Kristin Omdahl. "South Florida"
"....This shop is bursting with bright, cheerful color and friendly, warm greetings from the moment you enter. The first time I went to Anneke's shop was for a book signing and workshop for Wrapped in Crochet. I was greeted by Anneke feeding bread to baby ducks at the front door. (I got to feed the babies, too!) Once inside, there were two resident cats who were excited to meet me and followed me for the remainder of the day. The experienced staff is sweet and welcoming...."

Fascinating Fibonacci 11:00 - 1:00:

Fibonacci numbers describe a mathematical sequence that occurs repeatedly in nature. Humans find this relationship particularly pleasing to the eye, and artists and designers have used these numbers throughout civilization. Learn the history of and explore this fascinating tool for designing knitted stripes, blocks and perfect shading.

Artful Color 2:00 - 4:00:

Color brings life and excitement to our knitting, yet many feel uncertain about how to approach color. Learn about color from an artist’s perspective, and how it applies to knitting. Laura illustrates color effects in tangible visual terms that explain why colors work or don’t work together. Several simple yet clever techniques for bringing color into our lives and projects will be covered. You will achieve a greater sense of confidence with color, and will leave understanding Laura’s favorite axiom: You don’t get WOW by doing the expected!

LAST Square Class Saturday March 6: Some Assembly Required!

Final square class and finishing discussion: We will be doing the sheep square as our final piece. And if you missed a week or two or just want to learn a new technique, I’ll have all the patterns with me. Bring your squares to class and we can arrange and number them for assembly. We’ll also discuss a few options for joining them together.

Hope to see you all on Saturday!

Sock Class - Part Deux

Just a little reminder about the class this coming Sunday at the shop - socks part 2! If you missed part 1 and want to join us, I can get you started…

To recap, I’ve got a great mini sock project to get you started. To knit it, you will need a skein of worsted weight yarn (light color works best so you can see everything) and a set of size 6 double-pointed needles. You can also use two size 6 circular needles if you prefer.

Please call the shop (305-665-6222) or come by and join me this Sunday at 1pm. I hope to see you there!

Debby Ware Workshop February 21st!!

My Workshops...

are always a big success - even a beginner knitter will enjoy themselves. I have each student learn to make a one of a kind original hat and/or booties where I guide them on how to start, which shape they would like it to take, bold color choices and the many options for the topper. Lots of simple embellishment techniques are taught that they will use over and over again in all their knitting projects - not just for babies. I teach with cotton yarn but I also demonstrate how to use novelty yarns as accents.

Debby's classes are extremely fun and satisfying! Easy embellishments, unique shapes and some of Debby's tricks of the trade all add up to a memorable event.

Contact Debby to get the details and to customize a workshop in your neighborhood!

HERE'S WHERE DEBBY WILL BE IN THE NEAR FUTURE - We Hope To See You!!
