Since Stringtown's storefront has closed, the Tuesday knitting/crochet class has moved to Hobby Lobby.  All levels welcome, 3pm-5pm every Tuesday, $5 per class with no minimum number of classes or anything. Just show up and ask someone where the classroom is there. It's easy to find.

Stitch N Bitch is every Thursday 6PM-8PM at Panera Bread on 74th Street. This is just a gathering to hang out and knit or crochet or whatever and meet people or see friends. You don' t need a certain level of skill to participate, but we do get the potty mouth on occasion so you'll have to just deal with that. 
See you there!

The last 4.5-5 years have been way fun and awesome. Thanks to all the wonderful customers who made Stringtown possible and to everyone who has supported the shop.

People keep asking what I’m going to do now. Well, I’m going to be traveling quite a bit and spending some time in Wyoming with my husband where he works. I’m also going to be putting together an online store here.

I don’t know how long this will take, because a large part of the online store will be hand dyed yarn and fiber. I’ll also be selling knitting needles, crochet hooks, notions, and some patterns. It’ll take a while to develop colorways and build up some inventory. I’ll let everyone know when that’s ready.

Stay tuned, and thanks again :)

Inventory is running low enough that I think I'm going to close up shop after the potluck tomorrow night. 
The store will be open Thursday, Sept. 15th from 10AM-8PM. Potluck/Farewell Party starts at 5PM. Hope to see you there!  

This website will be going through a transformation into an online shop soon, so keep it bookmarked and watch for updates. Sign up for the Newsletter there on the right to get an email when it's ready.

To some of you, this may come as a shock. To others, not so much since I've been talking about it a lot lately in the shop. Stringtown is going out of business on September 16th so that I can spend more time with my husband who is currently living/working most of the time in Wyoming. Unfortunately, the shop just doesn't generate enough income for me to be able to hire someone to work there when I'm away, and the past few months since the move it hasn't been generating much income at all, so down it goes. I had a great 5 years working on this project and meeting the great community of fiber people we have here in the Ft. Smith area :) I'm going to miss you all. 

Beverly will still be doing her Tuesday classes. After the 16th, they will take place at Sweetbay Coffee on Rogers Avenue next to Creekmore Park. Same goes for the Thursday night Stitch N B*tch - I will see you there when I'm in town :) 

OK, here are the deals! Don't wait around thinking the prices will drop even further the closer we get to time to close because that's not going to happen. Get here early if you want a good selection, because I'm pretty sure the good stuff will go fast.

• The shop will be open regular hours, 10AM-6PM Tuesday-Saturday.
• All Yarn & Spinning Fiber is 50% off, and so are Magazines, Books and Notions/Bags.
• Needles, Hooks and Drop Spindles are still regular price. 

Thank you all for being such great customers! I hope to see everyone before the 16th :)

P.S. If you have items at the shop that have been there on consignment, please contact be before September 16th to make arrangement for pickup.

Come See Denise From Lost City Knits today at Stringtown till 4PM! She brought a bunch of awesome yarn plus lavendar soap and hand cream all from local/Oklahoma sources :)

Please join us at Stringtown on Saturday, August 13th from 10AM-4PM!

Denise Bell of Lost City Knits will hold a trunk show featuring her hand dyed natural, locally sourced yarns and fibers as well as her original shawl and scarf patterns.  Denise works with local Oklahoma farmers to turn their llama, alpaca, wool, and angora fibers into beautiful hand dyed yarns. She will debut a brand new sock yarn at our event.

In addition to Lost City Knits, Denise runs Clear Creek Lavendar from her farm in eastern Oklahoma. She'll be bringing some great soaps and other products made from lavendar that she grows there on her farm. 

Denise is excited to be at Stringtown and will be giving away a free pattern with each skein of her yarn purchased while she's here.

For more information and to view her products, check out Denise's website at www.lostcityknits.com

The shop will not be open today until 5PM 
due to Delta Airlines sucking. Stitch N Bitch 5pm-8pm tonight. I have a lot of bitching to do. haha

The shop will be closed from Wednesday, July 13th through Wednesday, July 20th for vacation. 

Stitch n Bitch on Thursday the 14th and the Tuesday class on the 18th will meet at Sweet Bay Coffee on Rogers Avenue next to the park.

If you've tried to call the shop, and you get a weird beeping noise or the phone hangs up on you, please call back. My phone here is acting goofy, and Cox isn't sure if it's them or my phone failing at this point.

Saturday, June 18th - Saturday, June 25th take 20% off the price of all yarn! This includes clearance yarn which is already 40% off. We need to make some room for the new things that will be arriving soon. This is a great time to pick up a new project for vacation knitting :)

Also don't forget that Saturdays are Spinning Saturday, so bring your wheel or spindle and spin with us!
