Kiwi News
Where has
the time gone! April marks FIVE
years since Kiwi Knitting first opened its doors! While it has been 5 years of hard work, it has also been an
incredible journey. There have
certainly been customers who have frustrated me (luckily my great employees
handle most with ease), and situations that challenge my creativity. However, what strikes me most is that
the yarn business attracts the most wonderful people – people who are
real, who are tolerant of my mistakes, who are honest, who are helpful and who
are creative. When I look back
over the last five years, I cannot believe how blessed I have been.
So Kiwi is
celebrating! In addition to the
usual Anniversary Celebration (more details TBA), we are launching a yearlong
celebration by offering classes that honor our roots and our innovations,
having special sales and expanding opportunities to help others. Specifically,
- The last business day of each
month will be “Sale Day” with several items on special at 5 x 5% off & sale table items at 5 x 10% off.
- Each quarter will honor our
roots by including a project by Elizabeth Zimmerman.
- Each quarter will honor our
innovations by including a project/technique by Cat Bordhi,
- Each quarter will honor knitting
across America by including a project from a different section of the
country in the book America Knits.
- This spring we will collect and
distribute mittens for our troops in Afghanistan. (See Brigid’s class for glomitts
that will kick off this effort.)
- Next fall we will again hold a
“Make-a-Hat Event”.
This 5-year mark
also begins a new era for Kiwi.
With Marianne’s move to Tennessee to be closer to family, all of my
original teachers have embarked on new adventures in their lives – Lynda
(my first teacher!) to further her education and Salli to her own shop in
Nebraska. (News Flash – I
learned this holiday season that she is expanding into an adjoining storefront
to include a coffee shop.)
While I am happy for all of them and especially wish Marianne all the
good fortune she deserves, I also feared that our class offerings would
suffer. Then whether it was
providence or a higher power or just luck, two new teachers walked in to fill
the gap (see the next two paragraphs).
Along with Heather’s return, Samantha’s help with crochet and both
Brigid and Lisa continuing, Kiwi has a good foundation for the next 5 years!
Kendra McNally, a
Tucson native, recently returned as a retiree. Kendra introduced me to the richness of America Knits
when she offered to teach a class in the lace shawl she just finished. Kendra will be a positive, fun helper
in your quest to improve your knitting skills.
Claudia Brust
recently moved to Tucson and first visited Kiwi during the holidays. Claudia signed up for the Fair Isle
Workshop – had a great time.
Some how our discussion turned to the possibility of teaching and my
fears for our classes melted away especially when a fellow workshop student
confirmed her skill as a teacher.
Claudia will teach several knitting and crochet classes this session AND
take over the job of Knit Doctor!
Good-Bye Marianne!
We often long for our roots no matter how far we stray from
them during our lives. Marianne
has heard this call, and early on Feb 1st, Marianne and her daughter,
Julia, will pull out of her Tucson home to return to her roots in
Tennessee. We will miss her
patience, her expertise and even her playful admonishments. Those of you who have taken Marianne’s
classes will probably hear her in your mind for years to come when you use some
little trick or a technique that she has taught you. All of us at Kiwi wish Marianne the very best in her new
adventure!

Spring’s Featured Book!
Although it
is not a new publication, my vote for this spring is America Knits by
Melanie Falick. This book takes
you on a knitting journey across the US profiling Fiber experts in each of four
regions of the country – East, Southwest, West, and Midwest. It is
incredibly interesting to read about the designers, artisans, farmers, and
other fiber experts featured some of whom you will readily recognize and others
you may not have met. The featured
patterns from many of the personalities run the spectrum from fun to beautiful
to very challenging. We have
chosen four to feature in classes this year beginning with the Kousa Dogwood
Shawl this spring. This summer we
will play with starfish; in the fall, an entrelac Christmas stocking; and next
winter, a color work Navajo design.
Though rich in content, the price is low enough for almost everyone’s
pocketbook. Thanks to Kendra for
reintroducing us to this book!
