A big thank you to everyone that came out for all JP Knit & Stitch’s March events celebrating 2 years as your local, community yarn + fabric shop. As we have said many times, we couldn’t have done it without you! You inspire us every day with your creativity, your creations, and your passion for the handmade.
Thanks also for a great sale weekend! It was fun! You came in droves with your ipads, your bookmarked pattern books, your scraps of paper and full on lists. You were so organized! You stocked up on a sweater’s worth of yarn and a curtain’s worth of fabric. You were smart + crafty shoppers and we celebrate you! See below for scenes from the sale.
p.s. we want to see all the finished projects!!!

We’ve had fun all month celebrating our two years in business. We welcomed Amy from Knit Collage, Cynthia from Threadfollower, Molly and the gang from Seamstress…and all of you, our loyal customers! Thanks for a wonderful, fulfilling, crafty, two years. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Save the date! We are hoping to clear our shelves during our sale to make room for fabulous NEW SPRING (yes, I said Spring even though as I write this snow if still piled up!) INVENTORY. We are getting in NEW Spring yarns, LOTS of lovely NEW Spring fabrics and booking more classes and workshops for you to create that special something. April also brings the launch of our latest Knitting For Others project, Afghans for Afghans, as well as our 3rd year of involvement in helping Spontaneous Celebrations Wake up The Earth with this year’s theme: April Showers Brings May Flowers.

More wrap up and photos to follow, but until then we want to thank Cynthia from Threadfollower and the bands Seamstress and NIght Slice for bringing all their crafty musical energy to our shop. We leave you with this classic picture of Seamstress rocking out in our fabric section!!!!

As we continue to make our way through the merry month of March, next up on our events list is a workshop with the super-crafty and adorably cute Threadfollower kits. Cynthia Treen, the designer and mastermind behind Threadfollower, will be here Saturday afternoon to lead an afternoon workshop with the kits. Included in the cost of the workshop is your choice of kit (choose from a kangaroo, bird, dove, rabbit, cat, or penguin) and the materials for a felt basket for your special animal. This workshop is appropriate for kids and a great Easter project. Click here for more details and to register.
Later that very same day, we will be hosting Seamstress and special guest Night Slice for their cassette release party. This is our first band night at JP Knit & Stitch and we want to give them a warm + crafty welcome. (Did I mention their logo is a pair of scissors?) Click here for more details.

We had such fun hosting Amy from knit collage yesterday afternoon. She spun for us (and our little friends) and even gave her spun yarn away to a few lucky little crafters. We got to see (and try on) some lovely Spring samples, including some amazing summer-y tanks and cover ups in the wonderful Stargazer Silk yarns (coming soon to JP Knit & Stitch), as well as the hot off the press Maharani Silk (also coming soon to JP Knit & Stitch), and the happy Daisy Chain yarns (available now!). Thanks to all who sloshed through the snowy streets to come out yesterday and thanks especially to Amy and her knit collage yarns, warm + sunny + jewel-like…giving us a much needed taste of warmer times ahead.

March 16, 1-4pm, Threadfollower Workshop
March 16, 6:30-9:30pm Seamstress Cassette Release Party

Amy is the amazing + talented owner and designer for knit collage, a new yarn company based right here in Boston. We are lucky to have her and are excited that she’s bringing along her spinning wheel to show us her techniques for spinning lovely pieces of trim into her special yarns. Amy sources all of her materials in India where her yarns are hand spun. Welcome Amy!

JP Knit & Stitch is turning TWO (!) and we couldn’t be more grateful that we’ve come this far. What started as a dream around a kitchen table (ok, there may have been wine involved), became a reality that we have lived for two-very full-years. As we take this time to thank you, our loyal customers, we’d like to take a moment to honor our founding owner and JP Knit & Stitcher, Jennifer Boyd. Jennifer passed away last August after 18 brave months of fighting breast cancer. She left a fully realized vision in JP Knit & Stitch and we honor her with continuing her mission to provide our community with a crafting space to call their own. Our motto is “a yarn and fabric store with a community soul” and with your help we have been able to be that to our community these last two years. Thank you.
So please join us for a full slate of events throughout the month of March to help us celebrate turning 2:
MARCH 3, 12-5pm Customer Appreciation Party: A celebration of what makes us get up and do this every day: you and your beautiful creations. We will have champagne mimosas, mini cupcakes from our neighbors at Quesqueya Bakery, a wonderful raffle (sweaters worth of O-Wool yarn; a set of interchangeable needles; and a full felt and embroidery kit), a customer slideshow (you didn’t think you could get away that easily did you?), and last, but not least, if you bring in something you have made out of JP Knit & Stitch materials (and let us photo you for our Pinterest Board), we will give you a 10% off coupon. So come on by!
MARCH 9, 1-4pm, Trunk Show and Spinning Demonstration with knit collage. Amy will be here with her gorgeous yarns and treating us all to a spinning demonstration. Click HERE for all the details.
MARCH 16, 1-4pm, Sewing workshop with Cynthia Treen from Threadfollower. We get all warm and fuzzy inside when we see Cynthia’s adorable felt + embroidery kits. It’s like dreaming of tiny kittens and fluffy puppies. Except there are foxes and birds and a lovely and refined element to it all. Click HERE for all the details and to register [seats are limited, pre-registration is strongly suggested]
MARCH 16, 6:30-9:30pm, Seamstress Cassette Release party. This is new to us and we are thinking it’s going to be fun to have live music in our fabric area. What can we say, their symbol is a pair of scissors and I can’t even tell you what their merch[endise] is (ok, I will…little tiny sewing kits with the Seamstress logo…). Click HERE for more details.
MARCH 23 + 24, all day, 25% off storewide SALE! Last year we were blown away (in a good way) by the number of people who came out for our 1st anniversary sale. Last year it was 25% off all yarn and fabric on one day only. This year we are sweetening the deal and are offering 25% off EVERYTHING IN THE SHOP and we are holding it OVER TWO DAYS. We thought it was the least we could do to say thanks for a great + crafty year.
