What's YOUR Favorite Cookie? Ours is NOT DIGITAL
Well, first, we do NOT collect cookies on our website - we think cookies should be saved for eating! Plus the chocolate chips mess up the intertubes.
You probably already know that Yarnivore collects your name and email and we thought you'd like to know what happens with that info. Nothing. Really. We don't share it with anyone. We keep your prior purchases saved under your name so that if you forgot what "that pink fuzzy yarn" was, you can call us and ask. We also need your name for classes, and your email so we can send you messages (like that time that we had to close because the roof was pouring water on the floor).
If you've been to the shop in the last few weeks, you'll notice we're also asking for your cell phone number and your birthday. We want your phone number mostly so that we can call or text you if you accidentally leave something in the shop (this happens several times a week), but our new system can also send you reminder texts if you have signed up for a class! Handy, right?
And your birthday? That's so we can send you a Happy Birthday greeting WITH A COUPON!
We absolutely do not EVER want to spam you. If you don't want to get the newsletter, then we will take you off the list. No problem. No questions asked. There's an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every newsletter.
If you want to read our full privacy policy (it's pretty fun to read, actually), click here - or scroll to the bottom of any page on our website to read it again.
Shop News
Mostly, the news is this newsletter! This is our first one sent from the new system. We're still figuring out some formatting issues, but we're excited to keep making it better. We want to give you content you actually WANT to read. Have suggestions for the newsletter? We'd love to hear them - send them to info@yarnivoresa.com or to wendy.yarnivore@gmail.com!

Make Knitting Charts with Excel™
Tuesday, May 29 from 6-8 pm, $18
Teacher: Wendy
Learn to unleash the power of your computer to make and alter knitting charts. This makes it easy to add or remove repeats if you want a wider or narrower piece. You’ll also learn to make a color chart from any line drawing, using Excel® and PowerPoint® together to turn almost any clip art into a knittable pattern!
Time: One 2-hour session.
Field of Seams
Wednesday, May 30 & Thursday, May 31 from 6-8 pm, $33
Teacher: Wendy
We all love to knit, but hate to sew the pieces together! Not any more. Learn the secrets to perfect finishing – nearly invisible seams, picking up the perfect number of neckline stitches (without counting!) and much, much more. There is homework for this class – you MUST have these swatches finished before class.
Prerequisites: Suitable for knitters of most skill levels.
Intermediate Crochet
Saturday, June 2 & 9 from 10 am-noon, $33
Teacher: Patrick
In this class you will learn to increase and decrease, to knit in the round, to read a knitting pattern, and some fun new stitch patterns. FREE patterns are included for a hat, a baby blanket, felted coasters and more. By the end of class you will have a finished hat, knit seamlessly in the round!
Prerequisites: Cast on, knit, purl, bind off
Time: Three 2-hour sessions
Baby Surprise Jacket
Thursday, June 7, 14, & 21 from 6-8 pm, $48
Teacher: Wendy
This adorable baby sweater is made in one piece and looks like a weird blob -until you do a quick origami-type fold and sew up the one seam over each shoulder.
Time: Three 2-hour sessions.
Before first class, please make a gauge swatch. You need to get 20 stitches in 4″ using garter stitch.
