Knitting in the AC ?     It's bound to be hotter than hot this summer - so come on down to Angel Hair Yarn Co. and beat the heat.  Make a day of it - we enjoy the company and there are plenty of places for eating and shopping within walking distance! Craft as Therapy First off, thanks to EVERYONE who participated in Angel Hair's Breast Cancer Drive this spring.  With your help, we raised $686.75 in a little over one month - that's fantastic!  By the time you read this note, we will have sent a check to the Susan G. Komen Foundation in Nashville to aid their research. If you are currently battling cancer of any kind and want to learn to knit in a relaxing and friendly environment, come join Charisse on the first Saturday of the month from 9-10am.  There will be no charge for this class, and you'll receive a 10% discount on purchases made for your class projects. Please call ahead by Friday afternoon to let us know youfre coming. We hope to see you! Other Charitable Knittings In other charity news, we also donated blankets (knit by Helen Omberg, among others) to the Our Kids program and Vanderbilt's Blankets for Kids.  Thanks to everyone who donated yarn and time to these projects!

Join us for the Cozy Knitting class to knit a tea cozy and taste teas. We’re offering it 2 times this summer. In the meantime, try out these great recipes using Fair Trade Teas’ Sweet Friend Blend. Sweet Friend Blend For a summer cooler, try Fair Trade Teas' "Sweet Friend Blend" iced.  Brew 1 tsp. of tea per cup, add sweetener, cool to room temperature and serve over ice!  This makes a great plain iced tea as well as a great Sangria mixer.  Just mix 1 part red wine with 1 part sweetened iced Sweet Friend Blend and a splash of brandy.  Serve over ice with an orange slice.Sweet Friend Blend and other unique blends are available at Apropos and online at fairtradeteas.com.
