Wow is the only word I can say to describe Wonderful spring weather and lots of Sunshine.

This weekend's Shop Hop & our Limited Edition Hand Dyed Yarn

Our thanks to Robin @ Pagewood Farms for some wonderful yarn.

We are often asked, What is the big deal about a shop hop? Well for starters, its time to spend with people who share your passion.

You will be able to collect limited edition charms at each shop if you donate to the food shelves or make a purchase. Your donations help people in need.

Collect all 6 charms and turn in your shop hop card at the last shop and get your 2010 charm as well.

Visit all 6 shops and turn in your shop hop card to be eligible for the GRAND PRIZE and 6 First Place Prizes. The prizes are well worth the effort again this year.

Some of our sponsors, such as Colonial Needle, Berroco, Charmie designs and more have been very generous contributors to our shop hop. Each shop is making considerable effort to make sure the Prizes are over the top.

Just stop in at each shop to register for a door prize and pick up your FREE pattern.

Check out new yarns and get inspiration for new projects. Enjoy refreshments at our shop as well.

The new Fleece Artist Sock yarn and Hand Maiden Casbah are wonderful.

The 50% OFF Clearance Loft has been heavily stocked to clear out yarns we will discontinue & those colors and yarns that only minimal stock remains (Peruvia, Soft Spun, Big Baby, Touche, Eco Lana, Claudias Sock Yarn, Noro Furisode, Azteca, Multiplicity, Tweed Montage & More). Shop EARLY for best selection. Most yarns have adequate amounts for sweaters. Think Holiday Gift Giving NOW.

WHAT'S NEW?

Our Summer Class Schedule which will be up on the web within a week and the printed version should be here at the shop as well very soon. You can access a black and white PDF to print. The Color version will be availalbe soon.

So, WOW is the only word that sums up this week and weekend at Amazing Threads.

Freebies and Resources

Great free patterns will be available at each shop participating in the shop hop.

Love this Bolero/Shrug, especially if knit in a Bulky cotton yarn for spring. Free Ravelry Download.

Lisa Chemery also designed a CUTE tiered baby sweater knit in chunky yarn that is available for $5.00 on Ravelry as well.

Came across "Pagan" on the Rowan website. A great V-neck tank that knits up quick in Rowan All Season Cotton. This tank has a nice fit and the arm holes are NOT TOO big. There is also a cap sleeve vest pattern with the PDF.
