Get a jump-start on National Hobby Month (January)!

Out with the old and in with the re-newed, as we craft our way into a green 2011! This winter, join us as we make beads out of paper and create new jewelry out of broken and neglected old pieces. It’s always fun to be eco-friendly at TCL! We’ve also added day and night sections of our knit and crochet workshops, in several different levels — something for every busy schedule.  So, start your year off right by treating yourself or someone you love (classes make a great last-minute holiday gift!) to one of our great workshops: TCL Class Schedule

Magic Loop Knitting Class – 10/25/10 @ 7:30PM

Do you hate knitting with double-pointed needles?  Well, Kathy will be holding a class next Monday that will teach you how to knit in the round without them.  It’s magical!  She’s betting that you’ll be so into “magic loop knitting” that you’ll be inspired to knit a toasty pair of socks.  Here are the details:

Monday, October 25 from 7:30PM to 9:00PM ($25)

We’ll be taking reservations for the class until Friday evening.  If you’d like to sign up, please call: 201/944-3311, e-mail: info@thecraftlounge.com or visit our handy-dandy website: http://thecraftlounge.com/.  I feel loopy already.

Crazy Grace Halloween T’s are in da house…

Good news.  The Crazy Grace Halloween T’s have arrived.  We also received these adorable Fox scarflets.  Remember those creepy fox stoles your grandma used to sport?  Well, Knitberry’s taken all the creepiness out of the equation, and these are just downright cute AND warm.

Fun @ Craft Camp…

Thanks for helping us celebrate!

Wow.  What a fun night we had celebrating our 2nd year anniversary.  Thanks to everybody who turned up.  We ate tons of cookies, drank quite a bit of raspberry quince iced tea and caught up on everyone’s summer activities.  Oh, and we have winner for the Free Workshop Raffle.  Susan Grey is the lucky recipient.  Congrats, Susan.

Thanks for all your support.  We couldn’t keep The Craft Lounge running without your generous support.  We’re VERY grateful!

Bring a little beach home with you

We thought it might be fun to bring some of the beach back home. So, on July 15th from 2:15-3:15PM, kids are invited to sign up to make these cute beachy picture frames.

We’ll start with a solid, wood frame and we’ll bust out the sand and seashells for maximum beach effect! If you’d like to sign up your kids, please register here: Class Registration.
