Time
by Minnie Gertz

Time -- such a precious
Gift is it
To work, to read, and
Yes, to knit.
Time to listen to the
Bird's sing;
To watch flowers
Appear in spring
Time to dream of
Good future days
While our peaceful
Living stays.

Time. I saw this poem and it rang so true. It's one of the many reasons we love knitting. Time with friends, time for quiet, time to dream. Time for new beginnings. Take time this season to teach a child or friend to knit. Learn a new skill. There is so much to be said for slowing down and appreciating the moment, which in all of our crazy lives, is so important to do.

So take the time and come into Chix and check out all that's new this season! Along with our favorites like Stacy Charles cotton classic, we are welcoming Misti pima silk, Debbie Bliss Amalfi and Ruca, Noro Aya adn so many more great yarns for spring/summer projects! We also have new Figheadh (that's not a typo - there really is an h at the end of the word!) patterns and a great book for knitting Balloon Tying Creations. Absolutely adorable. We have a fabulous Kids Knitting Notebook, by Cindy Craig so you can knit together with a child. What could be better?

Classes are always changing and being updated, so make sure to keep checking our schedule. Cheers to our men's knitting class! It has been a huge success, so make sure to tell the men in your lives to learn to knit! And with baby season in full bloom, don't forget to ask about our baby showers. We just hosted one for a family, and it was so special and unique, again, a great way to spend meaningful TIME together!

Happy Knitting!
The Chix

CHARITY KNITTING
As we told you a few months ago, we are continuing to knit for Sarah's Inn, our local organization that offers assistance to battered and abused women. They provide a safe place for women who are experiencing domestic violence. We are proud to be able to help them in supplying them with any hand knit items for baby, children's and adults sizes. Chix will be offering a 20% discount for any Sarah's inn project. If you don't want to knit an entire project - also consider knitting a 8x8 square that will be later assembled into a blanket. What a great way to get your teen or girl scout troup involved. Check for details with Kelly at Chix regarding the square requirements. For more information about Sarah's Inn - check out their website at www.sarahsinn.org.

We will still have charity knitting time at chix on Thursdays. Come on it and sit and knit. When knitters open their hearts, I don't know that there's much we can't accomplish!
