August's Projects

Hi Everyone,

August is almost over and I wanted you to see some of the great friends that we have at the Knit Affair. When it gets warm, like it was this month, it is always a good time to get together with friends and just sit and knit. The Knit Affair has their share of sitters and knitters and these are just some of our Best Friends. Say hello to Clarene, Cheryl and Linda. These ladies love to knit.

Next meet Susan, Joyce, myself, Linda and "another" Cheryl. Now this is a fun group of knitters. Watch out when this group gets together because nothing is sacred. They always seem to cover every topic and solve all of the worlds problems and at the same time they do some great knitting. As you can tell by the smiles on their faces, this group loves to knit at the Knit Affair.

I wanted you to see one of the great projects that we completed this month at the Knit Affair. This is Joyce Holland with her adorable little baby Afghan made out of Plymouth Yarn's Jeannee Cotton. Joyce made this Afghan as a gift for a friends new baby. She was so excited with the end result. Note the gleam in her eyes.

More of some of our Best Friends.

Meet Michelle Baldwin. Michelle and her family moved to Arkansas a couple of years ago and every chance that she gets to visit California she always stops by the Knit Affair for a chat and a knit. We always look forward to Michelle's visits, her stories and her Great Smile.

We have some great things on the way for September and you should have received your class schedule in the mail by now. In September we will be doing a vintage Lace Carpet Bag and a Reversed Cabled Scarf. These two projects will be very Hot. Classes fill up quickly, so get signed up early.

Everyone have a Great Labor Day Weekend and we will seeing you at the Knit Affair in September for some real fun and great knitting experiences.

See you at the Knit Affair,

Hot August News

Hi Everyone,

I cannot believe how fast the Summer is flying by. We had an incredible July at the the Knit Affair. If you missed anything there are always ways to catch up.

It's the first day of August so let's look at what we have in store for this month. Our Stripped Beach Top class started in July and the August session will be how to assemble the project and apply the finishing touches on Saturday, August 11th from 1-4 PM (see the finished Top, above).

The Lorna's Lace Sweater and the Circular Ribbed Vest classes are really coming along great. I can't believe all of the beautiful color combinations that are emerging form the yarns. Get ready because soon I will have a photo gallery to post for all of you to enjoy of these projects and their knitters.

Also in August we are having our Victorian Lace Scarf class. This is going to be a Hot One. If you have not signed up, there is still time. Trust me on this one, these scarfs are going to be the Hot Tip for Holiday gift giving. Quick and Easy. Don't miss out (see the finished scarves, above).

See you at the Knit Affair,

Torey

This Saturday at Santiago High School here in Corona, the American Cancer Society is sponsoring Relay for Life. This is an overnight event designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in our community. I will be Walking for the Cause in the memory of my mother with my daughter Meagan. I am looking for sponsors for the walk. I will be walking from 8pm-9pm this Saturday night. This relay gives you the power to help in the fight against cancer. You can drop your donations off at the Knit Affair before Saturday afternoon. As of this writing they have over $82,000. in pledges. Let's help.

Thanks everyone for your support.

Anniversary Week is Over...

Hi Everyone,

Anniversary Week was a great success. Many of you came in and took advantage of our HUGE SELL and made some great deals. Thanks to everyone that participated. Everyone had lot's of fun, I know that I did.

We just returned from our Granddaughter's 6th grade graduation. She was on the Honor Roll all six years and received the Presidents Awards for Excellence. Nana and Papa were just glowing. Wow, she is growing up so fast and we have another granddaughter coming up right behind her. Surprising to know that they are both Knitters. Graduations are here. We have several of our very dear friends graduating this week. Congratulations to all of the graduates and good luck with tomorrow.

The Fair Isle project is in main stream and everyone is doing a great job and having lots of fun. Gil wanted you to see the Fair Isle bag under construction.

Happy June Everyone.

See you at the Knit Affair.
