Have you signed up for Ravelry? Knits & Pearls |
|
a Twin Cities Minnesota yarn and bead shop Arden Hills, MN 55126 651-282-0099 HOURS: M-Th 10-7 · F & Sat 10-5 · Sun 12-4 Knits & Pearls Is Looking For A New Owner Having the store has been one of my dreams come true. My chance to get to know all our wonderful and supportive customers and indulge in my favorite pastime has been an experience I have cherished. Due to my husband's health and pending retirement I would like to sell or add partners to the store. During my husband's illness we realized there are things we wanted to experience and places we wish to see while we still can. My priority must be my family and the store deserves more love and attention than I can give it. We are well established here with a wonderful customer base. The staff is very experienced, creative and helpful. The teachers are the best I have encountered anywhere. I would really like to see the store continue. Maybe there is someone out there who shares my dream. If anyone is interested in either buying the store or becoming a partner please contact Adrianne at Adrianne@myknitsandpearls.com. Your friend in knitting, What Classes Would You Sign Up For? As we begin to plan and budget our busy summer time, we wondered what classes would make you clear a spot in your schedule this summer. Send an e-mail to adrianne@myknitsandpearls.com and let us know. Choose from some of the ideas we've brainstormed below, or include your own. We want to know what projects or techniques you want to learn how to do. For your time we'll send you back a coupon for 10% off your next purchase of regular priced store merchandise.
Also let us know if you'd be interested in joining a group dedicated to charity knitting projects hosted at Knits & Pearls, or if you'd be interested in attending clinics on a different day and time than we presently offer. May 2012 Class Schedule We know that as the summer approaches peoples' availablility to attend classes is less certain. With that in mind we're scheduling fewer knitting classes since those classes often require several sessions. That being said, if you have a group of four or more people who are interested in a particular class or project we are always happy to host your class and provide an instructor when it's convenient for you. Call the store to schedule. Please remember that we request you please sign up and pay in advance by calling or visiting the store; this helps us ensure we have ample stock of the class supplies on hand. Classes will be canceled if they do not have the minimum registered participants in advance of the class. Payments made for classes that are cancelled will be applied toward future classes. For more detail, please call the store. All classes are 6-8pm and 2 hours long, unless otherwise
noted.
