Happy Spring
Welcome to May! Wow, this year seems to be going by fast!
Just yesterday it was January!
As we slowly crawl into the spring & summer months a lot of things are starting to happen. Here at the shop we are getting ready for a couple yarn crawls, (yes 2 this month!), a couple closures for holidays, new classes in June & July and some chatter about the Fall Retreat.
This newsletter may be a bit shorter than usual, but it will be packed with lots of information. Grab your calendar so you can write down all the dates!
