Join Chris J. every other Sunday afternoon (September 12th through December 19th) from 3:30 to 4:30 PM and make a knitted Christmas Stocking using one of our Annie's patterns. The patterns are available individually or as kits. Various themes include a Moose, Snowy Cabin, Angel, Peace, etc. Chris has made the Moose sample for GPY (from one of the kits) which is on display behind the front counter. She will also be working along with the group on a second stocking using O-Wool classic, our domestic organic wool. Chris will help with all the steps, from working the Fair Isle, turning the heel and personalizing the stocking. Join us any time to get started. This is the perfect knit-along if you want to learn or enhance your Fair Isle skills. Also, the structure of the stocking is like making a sock. If you've wanted to learn how to make socks, this is great first sock project - jumbo size ... and you don't have to make a second one! Participants should know how to cast-on, knit, purl, bind-off and some experience with increases and decreases is recommended.

While our center table is available anytime for customers to work on their projects and browse our books and patterns, Friday evenings are special in downtown Campbell whereby a visitor may enjoy live entertainment (sometimes right outside GPY), join the popular art walks and take advantage of other special promotions. Don’t forget we have lots of great restaurants and boutiques as well. You can see what's happening in downtown Campbell at: downtowncampbell.com.

The group is currently meeting every other Sunday afternoon and they are all working through the Amuigurumi Knits book. Currently the group is warming up for the Octopus and now making the Starfish which is a good warm up for the more challenging Octopus. Be sure to check out our felted pumpkin patch using domestic merino. Ask at the front counter or call GPY to find out the next meeting date and time.

Share your latest creations with other yarnees and join a lively discussion about designers, new fibers and fun blogs to follow. Call or e-mail us to let us know you’re coming and what light finger-food snack you will bring and GPY will provide beverages, napkins, plates, etc. You are invited to share any items recently knitted or crocheted by you with the group, and you will receive one raffle ticket for each garment made with GPY yarn, and of course not previously shared. Our recent Show & Tell was great fun sharing our creations and discussing patterns and new yarn options. There is no charge to participate, however we encourage you to sign up since space is limited by our classroom size. If you are interested in participating, e-mail or call 871-9196.

This exciting new club with nationwide participation is meeting twice monthly in our classroom, and is led by our sock instructor, Chris J. Participants receive a kit every other month including a skein of Pico Accuardi Dyeworks yarn in colorways specially dyed for the club, an exclusive sock pattern created by an Oregon designer and a stitch marker created to match each colorway. The first shipment included a charm bracelet for building on during the year. To celebrate each bi-monthly kit delivery, the group will have coffee, tea, and goodies from Oregon sources. Additionally club members may join the Pico Accuardi group on Ravelry to meet other groups around the country knitting the kits in their local yarn shops and ask the designers questions. Participants may join for the remainder of the year on a pro-rated basis.
