Celebration of Wilde Roast Cafe Five Years

Sunday we had a knitting party at Wilde Roast.  Steven - the Glitter Knitter, Christa - the Senior Glitter Knitter and many Yarn Garage fans and Urban Knitter regulars joined forces from 11 AM to 4 PM and shared their projects, taught newbies to knit, and got the latest information on the newest and best arrivals at the Yarn Garage.  Just look at the joy on these faces.  We had a blast. 

Come one, Come all to teach the world to knit, eat and enjoy!

Celebrate Wilde Roast Cafe's 5th anniversary this coming Sunday March 22nd, from 11am to 4 pm.

We will be offering all newbies yarn, needles and lesson for only $10.
I am encouraging all my friends of the Yarn Garage and especially all those that have enjoyed
Urban Knitters these last couple of years, to join Steven and the gang to help teach the masses to knit

We will offer all brunch and lunch guests the opportunity to have a teacher sit with them at their table
and The Yarn Garage will provide yarn and needles.

In addition Steven will have great sale yarns available for purchase as well as his usual entertaining presentation

Knitter's email Steven at Steven@yarngarage.com if you wish to join us this Sunday.
Steven is waving the $10 event fee for those that volunteer to help teach the basics.
No obligation if you just would like to come and sit back eat and knit. Specify in the return email that you would simply
like to reservc a seat in the private room.
As always I ask that you purchase food and beverage helpping to support the wonderful Wilde Roast Cafe, we have all come
to love and enjoy.

Auracania at the Urban Knitters

The brand Steven highlighted this week is Auracania. (Hand dyes from South America) All weights and blends of yarn for cottons to wools from Sock weight to bulky, a myriad of colors.  There were so many folks that came that we spilled out into the Wilde Roast main room.  Christa Berg, the Senior Glitter Knitter was also there, helping Steven with fixes, ideas and a couple of baskets of her wonderful yarns.
