While we want you to make progress, we cannot offer extra help that exceeds a few minutes without prior notice outside of class time.

 

A Final Word

 

 

I always find myself a little bit sentimental at this time of year. We feel so fortunate/honored, that you have taken the time to come out to our store and support us throughout the ups and downs of your life. You're way more than customers to us...you've become our life and many a supper conversation has been around what you've taught us....or the hilarious antics of your grandchildren!

 

We want to thank you all for allowing us to spend our days doing what we love most....knitting, people and retail! 

 

THANK YOU ONE AND  ALL

 

Wishing you all good health and success with your projects in 2010!

 

Mary, Lynn, Kersti and Karen
