Our Events & Outings
Double Stamp Fridays
The first Friday of each month is now Double Stamp Friday at Bliss Yarns. For those unfamiliar with our frequent buyer card, for each $20 spent in the store - per day - you will receive a stamp. When the card has been stamped 10 times, you can take $20 off of your next purchase. On double stamp days, you will receive two stamps for each $20 spent. Think of it as earning even more money while shopping!
Hats for Hope
Hats for hope is a charity started by Olivia Meers, a sophomore at an area high school and a Bliss Yarns knitter, who is taking the love of knitting and giving to a group of orphans in China. Olivia will be traveling with several students from her high school on a mission trip to Maria's Big House of Hope in Louyang, China. The orphanage is dedicated to saving the lives of challenged orphans by providing medical assistance and surgeries for those in need. Olivia began her efforts in November to collect hats for children aged preemie to five years of age. Thus far she has received donations from across the USA as well as England and Australia via the Ravelry group "Hats for Hope." Bliss Yarns will serve as a drop off site for any hats that you would like to donate.
Knitting Olympics
It is almost time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. At Bliss Yarns we are going to have our own friendly competition for the gold, silver and bronze. To participate you must choose a project that is a challenge for you. You must register your project with Bliss Yarns no later than Thursday, February 11th. You are allowed to cast on when the flame is lit and you must be finished by the time the flame is extinguished. If you complete the above you will be entered into a drawing to win the gold medal - $100 gift certificate to Bliss Yarns, the silver medal - $50 gift certificate to Bliss Yarns or the bronze medal - $25 gift certificate to Bliss Yarns. You will also go down in history as an olympic knitter!
Sit 'N Stitch
Each Thursday night from 5-8pm we host an open Sit 'N Stitch. Bring any project you like and come join the fun. You will find all knitters, spinners and weavers of all ages and experience levels, but we all share a love of fiber.
Sock Yarn Swap
Each Thursday we host Sit 'N Stitch, but the first Thursday of the month is also our Sock Yarn Swap night. Many are working on the mitered square blanket created by The Heathen Housewife. We have decided it is much more fun to have as many different varieties of sock yarn for you to get your hands on. If you would like to participate you will need to bring your leftovers in 10 or 20 yard cuttings.
Sticks 'n Stitch
On Sunday, March 7th, join us for the inagural Stick 'n Stitches event. Knitters from across Middle Tennessee will cheer on the Predators as they take on the Vancouver Canucks at the Sommet Center. This special ticket package is $25 and can be purchased directly from the Predators. If you want to sit with other Bliss Yarns knitters we are happy to purchase the ticket in your behalf. Call us at 370-8717 to make arrangements.
