Hey there! I hope you are all staying warm. This is the worst stuff. One day warm, one day cold, one day your head is nearly blown off by the wind. I am ready for spring!
Come to Knit Night this Thursday the 28th at 6:30. We have such a good time and get to chill out away from troubles and worries. Bring what you are working on and just relax. We are still working on our projects for charities, also. The chemo center, women's center, men's shelter, etc are needing stuff. Bring in your charity things and get 15% off that day's shopping. Not too shabby! These items are appreciates so much and touch so many lives. Thank you for participating!
Coming one day this week is the new Cascade Yarn order! It's just like Christmas again when all the stuff comes in. So much fun. Certain books are still 50% off and selections of magazines are 30% off. Come check them out before they are gone. I was running out of room for more, so I had to get some cleared out.
I am having a color knitting (Intarsia) class on Saturday at 1. If you want to be in it, just give me a call! Also, we have an intarsia knitting class on the 29th at 10:30. Maybe one of these will be at a time you need.
Monday the 1st at 10:30 or from 4-6 we are having the 30 minute skirt class. Sign up early so you get a spot. Also on the first at 6:30 we are having another pajama pants class. This is a great beginner class. It is a 2 parter, so the second one is the second. The class is $50 plus your supplies. We also have a pattern for $5 instead of $15 or 16! Great savings. On Monday the 8th is a Tote Bag class at 6 and at 10:30 is the magic pillowcase class. Tues the 9th...Machine Basics and Reading a Pattern from 6-8 and the 30 MInute skirt is from 2-4.
I am also teaching twined knitting, easiest fingerless gloves, Socks, crochet a mother or daughter hat to felt, and beginning knitting or crochet. Call for more info.
I just got in some more needles and boy am I glad! They just couldn't come in fast enough. Seems that sometimes the things I order just don't come or they come wayyyyyyyyy too late. These actually were pretty fast.
Having trouble figuring something out? Give me a call and we can set you up a lesson time so you can get some help. These lessons are $20 for up to an hour.
The alterations side of Ewe Knit is taking off. This is great. The word is getting out! Yay!
Did you know that macrame is coming back? Well it is. IT IS BACK! Now it is classier and prettier and is even in jewelry! Cool. Call for more information.
Check it out! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Carrollton-GA/Ewe-Knit-Yarn-Accessories-and-Classes/115081322649?ref=mf Ewe Knit on Facebook
I hope you all have a wonderful evening and think about which classes you want to take.
Talk to you soon.

New Classes! Look at the Calendar
Hey there. Much has been happening around here. I know it has been a long time since I blogged. Got caught up in what was going on Christmas, Thanksgiving ... New Years' and Inventory! Yuk! Inventory! Hate it! I love getting the new stuff in, but when it comes to counting it-ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHH I tried this year to put on the best sale ever and did. A lot of the stuff had NEVER been on sale before. Now I have room to put the new stuff on shelves! More is coming in...some yesterday.
I have a new calendar for January and am finishing up the one for February. More sewing classes, new knitting and crochet techniques and new ways of doing things.
Go to my facebook profile (Linda Sanders Barnett) and click on the Notes Tab. My new calendar is in there. Machine Basics and Pattern Reading, Twined Knitting, Pajama Pants the easy way, just to name a few. If you aren't in Facebook but are in my email list, check your email for the email. I sent it out on Sunday night.
Come in soon and check out the new stuff. Oh, and I have a new felting washer! We can do felting classes now! Not just the knitting or crochet part. How fun it is. Had to wait till I got hot water (got it Monday) so we could even use it.
Tonight is Knit Night. Come on out and have some fun.

Open House, Library Exhibit
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Carrollton-GA/Ewe-Knit-Yarn-Accessories-and-Classes/115081322649?ref=mf
Hey everybody!
We are in and planning our big open house this Saturday from 10 to 4! We have prizes, drawings, food, free classes being given away, yarn and I haven't decided what else yet! It's going to be loads of fun and you can even come and sit down with us and knit or crochet. This place is great so far! I had 12 new customers (most of whom had never heard of us!) in the first week and a half. That's pretty good, huh!
I have an announcement to make. In addition to knit and crochet and sewing lessons, I will be doing alterations! Probably late next week I will be ready to start. We are still wading out from under all this yarn! Ha! Got my office cleaned out yesterday, so now I can actually see the floor! Yay!
Everybody has been pleased with the new store and the excitement seems to build every day. We love it here and when all the improvements that are being done are actually finished, it will be home for us! It already has that feel.
Maybe the sign will go up this week if we can get all the materials and the rain will hold off. If not...the sign will still be propped against the house! That works, too.
Come and visit and be sure not to miss the open house Saturday! Also, Knit Night is 9-24 from 6:30 to 8:30. Now we will get back on schedule!
I would like to thank all the folks who came out and helped us pack, move, straighten up, give encouragement and still come in to see what I need done. Ya'll are a great bunch of folks and I love you all. Mike and I are amazed at all the people who just want to help and help us make it in this business. It is a great feeling to know we are loved and appreciated. We love you and appreciate you. Words can never express what we feel. Carolyn Richie and Amy brought a flower arrangement for us to enjoy and Joy Park brought potted irises Saturday. These were a nice surprise for us. You didn't know that I LOVE flowers and love having them around me. Thank you!!!!
Again, thank you for all you do and have done for us. Hope to see you Saturday, or before!
OH! I almost forgot! I am Artist of the Month at the Bremen Library, so if you find a minute or two, go by and check out my display. I went by this morning and took a few more things for display. Thank you Carolyn and Amy for nominating me! This is fun!
Love, Lin

We are in the new place!
The new place is going to be so much fun. WE are having Knit Night tonight since we were packing last Thursday. Instead of having another one next Thursday at the regular time, we are going to have an Open House on Saturday, September 19th from 10 til 3. Come and check out the new place. Lots of stuff going on! Prizes, food and who knows what else. I will be giving away lessons, yarn, maybe a kit or two and a shawl! You can register for the shawl from now till the 19th, so come and register and ...while you're here...shop!
There are separate rooms for Encore yarn, acrylics and blends, baby stuff and patterns and a room for wool and wool blends, plus some specialty yarns. The needles and accessories are in the first room. More elbow room for all of you who just like to 'graze' the yarns, take your time, think about what you want or whatever. There is still a sitting place for husbands! Mine will be here on Saturdays and Mondays, just like usual.
Some things are still a little torn up and will be finished up hopefully soon. We're open anyway!
As always, it is open if you just want to come and sit and knit or crochet. Sit and relax, drink some coffee, and talk with others who love our craft! This is more like a home, so come on and enjoy it with us.
Remember the open house! Hope to see you here.
Love, Lin

More stuff 50% off!
Hey all. this is the big week...THE MOVE! I have put more yarns on sale for 50% off and more mark downs. I have been building shelves, moving stuff around, packing stuff up and Sandy has been shampooing carpet and helping me get stuff over to the house that I don't need at the moment. We are actually storing it. Mike has been cleaning up the grounds and moving mulch, changing light bulbs and whatever we need for him to do! This will all be over soon and it will be business as usual around there.
Remember that the new place is on Cedar ST. in Carrollton. When you go toward the Lazy Donkey, be sure to check us out. The banner is still up on the sign board.
Knit night will NOT be this Thursday, since we will be packing up yarn. IT WILL be Sept. 3 in the new location.
Next week starting the first, I will be the Artist of the Month at the Bremen Library! Thanks to Amy Muse and Carolyn Richie's recommendation to the library, we were selected! What an honor! Thanks Amy and Carolyn! It's quite an honor.
More baby blankets and hats were taken to the hospital nursery today. The nursery supervisor, Ruth, said to let you all know how much she appreciates all that you do for them! They love our stuff we make and appreciate it so much. The Women's Center got some new hats from us this morning as well. They LOVED the hats and said...Keep 'em coming! Thanks!
Thank you all for your continued support and well wishes. You just don't know how much we appreciate it. You all are special to us!
Love, Lin and Mike

We are still in the early stages of the move. We hit a little bump yesterday, but it too shall pass. It's going to be a great place to be! I am making a new class list and will publish it soon. We are trying to get the classes where people can sign up, pay ahead for the class and actually hold the classes that were scheduled. There has been a rash of people not showing up or calling when they have a class scheduled. It makes it easier for me and if the class is not going to work out I can schedule someone else for another class. It's all good.
I really appreciate your support and well wishes. You are great customers and friends! Thank you!
If we get over this little bump in time, we will still have an Open House around the middle of September. Watch for updates.

More Space! Better Parking! More Classes!
Ewe Knit Yarn, Accessories and Classes Notice!!!!!! Ewe Knit Yarn, Accessories and Classes will be relocating August 31st! Our new location will be: 815 Cedar Street, Carrollton, GA 30117. There will be private parking and more space inside. We are moving to a quaint house that has many, many possibilities for us to expand, be more open and more light. We also plan to have a huge open house after we move and show off the new place. In some ways it reminds me of Hansel and Gretel as I enter the front door!
Go by and look at the house. I put up a banner (yellow one from first house) on the sign out front of it. It grabs attention because of the color! We will be starting the move on the Friday before Sept 1st(August 28th). This move should be almost seamless (we hope). We are so excited that we are going to have more space, more rooms to party, play, knit, crochet, teach in and who knows what else I will come up with that we can do in there!
In coming months, we plan to add more retail stuff to our store - maybe stuff we have made or someone else has made, or maybe handmade baby clothes and accessories - we just are not sure yet. I want this new place to be a 'Happy Place' as have the others we have had. This one even has a small kitchen in it! Yay! And an actual place to put a coffee pot and goodies. Another Yay! The excitement is building as we plan what is going where and just the fact that it is almost like a brand new start for everybody. Our phone number is not changing, so you can still call and get directions during and after the move.
Everyone wants to know can we move now?!?!?!?!?!? I wish...We wouldn't have lights, water, phone or anything, so I guess we have to wait a few weeks. I really do appreciate everybody's enthusiasm. It is spurring me on and making me more and more anxious to get into the house!
Who knows! We may even be able to rent a room out for parties, meetings or knit/crochet sleepovers or something. What fun would THAT be!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Stay tuned for more as we draw closer to the end of August.
Stay tuned for more developments! When opportunity knocks...we have to answer!
