Facebook Friday Special

First Facebook Friday Deal

I wanted to introduce a very fun idea,  Facebook Friday.  On certain Fridays we will have a special for those who follow us on Facebook.  If you aren't currently our friend on Facebook, click on this link and like us.  For the first few Facebook Friday Events we will be posting them on our Website, send a letter, and post on Ravelry to give everyone ample time to sign up on Facebook.  We can't wait for you to join us and see all the posts, and beautiful photography we've been busy posting.

Today is our first.  Today, March 30th from 1030-6, we will have all Needle and Crochet Hook cases at a 25% discount.  This included Della Q, Lantern Moon and Namaste.  If it's designed to hold hooks or needles or both it's on sale today. 

Be sure to spread the word to all your friends.  We are fine tuning our shipping methods, and it seems like we've come across a winning combination at a great price.  So if you aren't local just give our boutique a call at 916.714-7719 and we can ship by tomorrow.

 Book Signing with Joan

Last Saturday, 

Designer, Joan McGowan-Michael 

spent the afternoon at Knitique!

We love Joan and her "pretty & romantic" designs.  

We were so thrilled to have Joan in the boutique 

for an entire day of special events with her!

 Designer, Joan McGowan-Michael

We're a big fan of  Joan's designs and her books.

Some of our favorite patterns of Joan's are her Bed Jacket 

and Krista Tee from her first book 

Knitting Lingerie Style.  

We also adore her Angelina Shrug in the recent published book

My Grandmother's Knitting.  

This book is a compilation of designs and stories by 

top knit-wear designers.  

We love Joan's story in the book about her Mother, Angelina 

and her mother's fabulous 1940's style.

 Getting the "perfect fit"!

We love Joan's Angelina Shrug so much 

that we created an Angelina Workshop with Joan.

To help our attendees get the "perfect fit"
for their Angelina Shrug 

we had a fitting clinic with Joan on Saturday, as well.

Joan is famous for her fitting techniques.  

All the ladies that attended, raved about their "fitting time" with Joan.

Attendee, Meg Bland of Lady Bug Fiber Co. commented:

"I loved the fitting information 

on adapting patterns to my unique body type.  

This is so helpful not only to knitting but for other garment construction as well."  

Kathy B. had this to say about the fitting clinic:

"She's awesome!    

Great information.  I will now have perfect fitting sweaters!"

Mary R. said:

 "I'm thrilled!  

She makes you feel better about yourself and 
your female body figure."

 White Lies Designs Trunk Show

Now showing:

 White Lies Designs Trunk Show.

Joan began her company White Lies Designs in 2001

and we love her gorgeous patterns.  

You can come in and see the beautiful garments in person 

now through Saturday, March 17th. 

We also have the Trunk Show patterns in stock for you.

Gabrielle Vest & Angelina Shrug

If you missed out on our special day with Joan,

we still have a few books left autographed by Joan.
Just stop in or give us a call to purchase our books
autographed by Joan. 

Also, stay tuned because we can't wait to have another day

with Joan in our yarn boutique again sometime soon!

Danielle & Joan

Thank you to everyone who came to our special event

Joan McGowan-Michael!
