A Note From Karen

Those of us who knit and crochet know the many benefits we receive from the crafts we love. However, there is much more to this story.

After reading the article, In Mindful Knitting, It’s the Journey, Not the Scarf, in the Wall Street Journal, I began digging deeper and discovered quite a few references to studies conducted to evaluate the effects of crafting activities.

A very brief synopsis of this research indicates that those of us who practice crafts are likely to be more successful in smoking cessation, weight loss, managing stress, eating disorders and other serious health issues. Most interesting is that if these activities occur in social settings, they may delay the onset of memory loss.

Listed below, you will find several links to the research:

A Note from Karen

My thanks to all of you for keeping Knitting Temptations such a busy shop! Your enthusiasm is both motivating & inspiring. It is our pleasure to assist you in solving problems and selecting purchases. We love to see your projects in process and completed. Please send us pictures or stop in the shop to share your work.

April is full of interesting skill building classes! In addition, the staff and I are bursting with ideas for our second Annual Summer KAL! We had a great time last year and want to carry this tradition into 2019. Details coming soon!

Most importantly, please mark your calendar for LYS Day on Saturday, April 27. Created by TNNA’s Yarn Group (The National Needlework Association), Local Yarn Store Day is an opportunity to celebrate fiber artists and to show support for small brick-and-mortar yarn shops. This year is the second annual LYS Day. We look forward to seeing you!

Be sure to read all the details below and mark your calendars.

A Note From Karen

As you wrap up your 2018 projects, look forward to our venture into European knitting techniques in 2019. Future classes will include journeys to the British Isles, Lativia, Sweden and other Scandinavian countries.

But, before we “take off” abroad, kick off Super Bowl Sunday by joining us for an Open Knit from 2-5pm on Sunday, February 3.

2019 is shaping up to be an exciting year full of possibilities for our friends!

A Note From Karen

Jingle, jingle, jingle!

Gift-giving time is fast approaching!

Stop. Breathe. Rest. Be easy on yourself.

Many of you are working hard to finish a gift for a loved one. Maybe you can’t meet that gift exchange time frame. Don’t worry! Wrap the present up with a bow and enclose a card that promises to finish the gift after the holidays.

But the main thing I want to say is enjoy these days – whether you are shopping, baking, wrapping, crafting, cleaning or socializing. Be in the moment. And know that Knitting Temptations is here to help make your holidays festive!

We have a shop that is full of gifts for knitters – Yarn Bowls, Building with Lace class, Addi Clicks, Project Bags, Laine magazines, Gift Cards and of course, YARN!

We have suggestions for quick and easy-to-knit projects including mitts, cowls and hats. Just ask!

To round out the year, be sure to check out our Aran Holiday Ornament and Holiday Sweater Ornament classes.

December 31 from 10am-3pm, we will be hosting a “Ring in the New Year” open knit. I’d love for you to come! Bring your leftover holiday treats to get rid of…ahem, I mean, to share! Bring a friend. Spend the day with other knitters doing what we love.

May your days be merry and bright,

Karen
