January Projects!

This week, we got Schaefer Yarn's brand new sock yarn, Nichole. It flew out of the shop, but we will be ordering more right away-- come in soon to check it out.

We also have a new class list available, with more classes for intermediate and advanced knitters!

We have recently gone nuts for mittens! 2 fabulous mitten patterns were brought to our attention that you should look at--The Fiddlehead and Bird in the Hand mitten patterns (see photos from December). They're stunning and a great way to expand your Fair Isle expertise. We have both at the shop to look at and the Fiddlehead we've downloaded for you (in case you don't have a printer at home.) They are not free patterns, but they're worth far more in the love affair you'll have knitting them.

We've been having a blast with Calamknitty's doubleknit polka-dot scarf and plaid patterns. Feel free to see a quick demo. and try it for yourself. If you're new at this technique, the basic idea is to knit a double layer of fabric simultaneously simply by using K1, P1 (typically using 2 different colors). Great for hats, headbands, scarves and small throws. We are now offering a double knitting class, if you would like help getting started.
