Lionbrand should do something BIG for the grand opening! Something like The World’s Biggest Afghan made with donated squares that could be later separated into regular afghans for Warm Up America.

We’ll get you knitting in no time (and you can help me improve my crochet skills!). We will be having beginning knitting classes, and beyond beginner knitting classes. We’ll have free demos & free knitting help so you won’t be abandoned after taking a class. Can’t wait to meet you and see your crochet!

Here is an idea that I have….when the store is open and if it is done by invitation from your online newsletter subscribers…..why not ask those that will attend the opening to bring a completed crochet or knit square….pattern of their choice and then have it put together and as you will imagine this could turn out to be more than one afghan and then donate it.
Now I wait to know where the new LBY store will be and I am marking my calendar for NOV. 18th OPENING.

Thanks for a peak into the new LBY Yarn Studio and as I read on the date of the opening….gosh I wish it were sooner….patience is a virture as they say….I am so looking forward to your yarns, books classes and book signings and I hope Vanna White will be there. Here is my story…I started crocheting many years ago….my Mom is a great knitter but even with her excellent expertise I could never get it right…even trying to make my first scarf all those years ago…..although I did at one time decide to make an angora sweather that turned out larger than planned and turned into a vest for an aunt. My next project at the time was to knit a baby sweater for a friend,s new born and again my Mom worked with me but being as determined as I am I tried….until a friend at work….we had began a craft circle at lunch….it turned out to be only the two of us….I had to go and purchase lunch and when I returned I found my baby sweater on the table in a heap of yarn….she had taken it apart and said she was going to teach me how to crochet and she did and over the years I have made so many wonderful things…as for the knitting I have done a few small projects again with my Mom’s great expertise…..PLEASE PLEASE TELL US ALL WHERE THE LBY SHOP WILL BE IN NYC.
Phyllis

yarns in ALL COLORS at all times – it is very difficult to plan a project without being able to see and feel the yarn

I’m excited for you all.

I work 2 blocks away and will probably spend most of my lunch hours there. Hope you have classes between 12-2PM, Knit classes, crochet classes anything involving yarn would be great.
I have been to the store 2 x since I heard it was opening in the Fall. Thanks for the update regarding the opening date.

I’ll probably be there everyday rolling around in some soft Homespun!!!
I am sooooooooooooo happy! Thanks
