About
If you knit or crochet, hook rugs or make yarn dolls.....If you are just getting started or have loads of experience.....we hope you will join us at our "Ewe Love to Knit Night" taking place Tuesday evenings at the Knit Pickers PEI Studio from 7 - 9 p.m, We get together for Ewe Love to Knit Nights all year round, in person and/or virtually.
Here at Knit Pickers PEI, we want to ensure the safety and comfort of all of our guests. It is our policy that masks will be required if you plan to attend Ewe Love to Knit night. Our studio is not large and physical distancing is not always possible. You may be in close proximity to others for the duration of the session. We want all of our guests to feel secure - whether they are immunocompromised or have family/friends who are immunocompromised, or they are unable to be vaccinated or have children/family who are not vaccinated, or they have any other personal reasons for heightened health precautions. I know I will not feel imposed upon when taking this small step for my neighbours, friends and guests - and I'm sure you feel the same way.
Can't join in person? Send me a message to [email protected] with your e-mail address and I'll send you a link so that you can join us virtually. See ewe soon!
Organizer
Knit Pickers PEI
At Knit Pickers in beautiful Mayfield, PEI, we have chosen to celebrate local, natural, renewable products that are safe and healthy for us personally and for our environment. That is why we use wool. That is why our knitting needles, looms and swifts are all made in Canada. And....that is why we created "Ewe Love" - a line of personal care products made from natural ingredients. Every item in our studio is proudly 100% Canadian!
Margaret is a knitter, weaver, designer and instructor. Her knitwear designs are inspired by the beauty of the PEI landscape. She is the designer of the new MacEachern tartan which is now registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans. Margaret has made a choice to knit and weave using only wool from sheep raised in Canada and that is manufactured in Canada.
Margaret is passionate about fostering creativity. She offers workshops for all ages - from 5 to 105 years old! Learning to make something with your own hands inspires confidence and is proven to be beneficial to your health.
Living and working in rural PEI, Knit Pickers PEI's exclusive Ewe Love line of personal care products came from wanting to create a 100% natural laundry product that would be safe for well and septic systems and would be gentle enough for fine washables.
Knit Pickers PEI is a proud member of Culture PEI, Artisan PEI, the PEI Central Coastal Tourism Partnership, the PEI Fibre Trail, the PEI Arts & Heritage Trail and Buy Canadian First.
