Two new classes have been added for September. The first is fingerless gloves using the magic loop technique and the second is a beginning lace scarf. Stop by to see them in person and sign up. Both will be fun to do!
Come by my store to see this beautiful fair isle sweater done by Cindy Wasner. Cindy will be teaching a class in this technique later this summer/early fall. If you are interested, please stop by or call and let me know your preferences to time and day. It will be an ongoing class and you will learn how to knit with 2 yarns in a row and how to steek. It should be an inspiring class. Cindy does beautiful work!
Here is a picture of the Einstein lightweight coat that is in Sally Melville's The Knit Stitch. It was done in Poems by Wisdom Yarn-a self striping 100% wool yarn. It is very soft to the touch and nice to knit with. Come by the store to see it. If anyone is interested in doing an Einstein coat knit-a-long come by the store and talk to me. This jacket is very easy for the beginning knitter.
Here are two versions of the Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmerman. The one in blue is done in Art Yarns Superwash Merino worsted weight and the Multi-color jacket is done in lightweight Socks that Rock. Very fun to do. It is knit with increases, decreases, make a couple of folds and voila, the origami of knitted baby jackets is done.
Here is a picture of Knitting Pure and Simple's top down baby cardigan. I knit this using Universal Yarns Classic Tapestry which does its own patterning. I will be teaching this class starting this April. The yarn is great to work with and it is never boring.
Stop by to see the new store and look and feel the baby sweater.
