Camp
Erin Bears
Calling all knitters and crocheters,
we need your help! We are in our 7th year of knitting/crocheting
and dressing bears for Camp Erin. The "naked" bears
are donated to Hospice and we knit/crochet them sweaters
and accessories....use your imagination or one of our
free patterns. Great Yarns also has a "bear" stash
if you need yarn.
 The
bears are given to children who have lost a loved one
and are attending bereavement camp run by Hospice
of Snohomish County. In addition Erin Bears
are given to children on Hospice service and
their siblings.
Charity knitting is a great way to
get involved and these adorable bears will help heal the
hearts of young children dealing with a loss.
Stop by the store and check out the
bear of your choice, return him dressed on or before
the 10th of August.

 Introducing
our new Crochet Instructor!
Karen Whooley learned to crochet from her Italian
grandmother at age 7. In two hours she was literally
“hooked”. Never quite happy with the way a pattern
was designed; she would always adjust something to suit
her needs, or create her own.
 In
1998, Karen started designing and selling patterns. Since then
she has had patterns published by a variety of magazines and
books. Her latest books are
Top Down Sweaters and
Shower of Cables. Karen is also a nationally
recognized Crochet Instructor, and her classes include a wide
range from basic crochet to advanced techniques which include
several different types of media in crochet. She travels
frequently around the country to teach at major conferences and
events.
Karen is offering both private and group lessons here at
Great Yarns! Check our Class Schedule or call the
shop to set up a private lesson. Great Yarns! also
carries several of her patterns, including the popular
Reversible Shell Scarf.
Karen works
in the shop every Thursday from 10 AM to 2 PM so come by and meet her!
