Continental and Throw (Anerican) knitting class.

2012-01-01T19:18:00.002-06:00

Have you put off doing color knitting because you were afraid it was too hard.

Beginning January 10th we are having two different knitting classes. If you are currenly a contninetal knitter (kn with your left hand) and want to learn to knit with your right hand. Or you are a thrower (American) amd want to learn Continental, This is the class for you. Knowing both methods comes in handy when doing Fair Isle Color work.

The class can be individual or with a group.

The idea is for you to pick the time and date you want to do this class. We can do anywhere from 10 am to 5 pm Tues, Wed, Friday or a Sat. Or any evening. after 5 pm.

Call and pick a time and day when you want to learn these two types of knitting. I use both hands when doing Fair Isle color work, so once you learn the opposite type of knitting you currently do, then the Fair Isle class is much easier.

The cost is $20.00. And most learn in about an hour.

Please pay your teacher by cash or check, she does not take credit cards.

Call and make your reservation.

Update on Courtney's challenge!

2011-03-26T10:15:00.005-05:00

It has occurred to me that I haven't updated everyone on the state of my Christmas Challenge!

Here's the Gaptastic Cowl I finished in late January (Yes, that is the Central Park Hoodie I knit up a couple years ago):

I've been busy working up a couple non-Christmas projects, so it's a good thing I got two projects done in January. However, I was naughty and didn't take photos before triumphantly presenting the gifts to the recipients. One was a baby blanket knit in the purple and green colorway of Mirage, a DK weight 50/50 wool and acrylic blend:

The second was a pair of the Onda su onda fingerless mitts, a free Ravelry download.

Picture from Ravelry pattern page.

I used a beautiful teal blue I had left over from the Pinwheel sweater I knit last summer (the second blue in from the edge):

The pattern is simple and well-written, and took about half of the original 219 yard skein. I will make another pair for a Christmas Challenge gift, probably from another left-over skein from the Pinwheel Sweater. I plan on reducing the number of thumb stitches next time, though, because mine turned out a little looser than I would have liked.

The other night, I finished a pair of slippers I had started last November, and am finishing up a scarf I started a year and a half ago. These are my March and April Challenge gifts. No, this is not cheating! Finishing these projects will make it possible for me to start some new ones I've been drooling over for a while now. :)

I'll take pictures and post on the slippers and scarf soon!

Here are the latest shared projects!

First, Courtney finished her January project! The Star-Crossed Beret, with Cascade Chunky Alpaca:

A hand-dyed yarn and bag knitted from it:

An entrelac scarf made from sock yarn:

The Gap-tastic cowl (this will be Courtney's next project!)

Mittens to remind you of your directions:

A panda ski mask:

Beautiful fair isle mittens:

Sock Class

2011-01-21T10:04:00.001-06:00

Two Socks on Two Circular Needles Toe Up Class.

Class 1- Learn how to get both socks on two circular needles and start your increases for the toe. You then take home and finish the foot section and come back for class 2.
Class 2- Learn the short row heel.
$25.00 per class.

NOTE:

Normally I teach this class with sock yarn on size 2 or 3 needles, but this time I decided to show you how to make socks on needles that are a bit larger along with larger yarn. These will end up as bigger socks that will be easier to see and knit; the concept of using 2 circulars for the socks should be easier to grasp. Once you understand the concept, you can "graduate" down to the smaller yarn using smaller needles.

CHOICE OF CLASS 1:

Thursday, January 27th 9 a.m.
Thursday, January 27th 1 p.m.
Thursday, January 27th 6 p.m.

Friday, January 28rh 9 a.m
Friday, January 28th 1 p.m. (If these times do not work out for you we can always find an individual time)

Supplies: Worsted weight yarn and size 5 needles OR DK weight needles and size 4 needles.

10% discount on supplies purchased at The Yarn Shoppe.

Call for your reservation today!

Gift-a-Month 2011 Challenge!

2011-01-15T11:09:00.002-06:00

Hello, fellow crafters! Courtney here. I have a challenge for you.

When I first felt accomplished enough as a knitter to give people gifts, I’d often start them sometime in early December. After a few failures, and extreme late night knit sessions to finish projects on Christmas Eve, it dawned on me that summer is probably a more appropriate time to start working on handmade holiday gifts. Then, I started working on larger holiday gifts. Whole sweaters and shawls and the like. These take a REALLY long time to knit, so this year, I scaled down and made socks, hats and other accessory items. This was definitely more doable, but I started too late again (like, after Thanksgiving). So, inspired by my friend Brenda, this year I am going to attempt to knit at least one item a month, so that I can relax next December instead of giving myself carpel tunnel.

This is my challenge to myself and to you. Are you game? Here are a few options I am currently considering:

Fiddlehead Mittens

Endpaper Mitts

Falling Water Scarf

Star-Crossed Slouchy Beret

Domo-Kun

Baby Chalice Blanket

Stop in or comment below and let us know if you accept the challenge. There's nothing like accountability to keep you to your goals! Happy knitting!

Latest FOs

2011-01-12T11:17:00.005-06:00

Latest News!

2011-01-08T20:12:00.001-06:00

Hello Everyone, and a belated Happy New Year!

I have some exciting news.

For those of you who haven't heard, I was married in June and have been busy packing, moving, packing and then moving again. What a way to get rid of "stuff"! I had planned to be back in Davenport much more often, but it just hasn't been possible.

So, Jean Jones is the new owner of The Yarn Shoppe. Jean is the owner of the Home Environment Center and happens to be my mother! She has been a teacher and businesswoman her entire life and is very excited to be moving the shop forward into 2011. It is with a huge sense of empty nest syndrome and great happiness that I turn the reins over to Jean.

Judy will remain in place as manager and Courtney, Cindy and Gill will still be there as well. They're the best at what they do and I'm so proud of them!!
The name, location, phone, etc. will remain the same for the shop.

We can all look forward to a new and improved shop with the great yarns that will arrive shortly. I can't wait to see it!

Please take care of yourselves and each other. Keep getting motivated over new projects--in life and in knitting. I miss you all and look forward to this future endeavor.

Sincerely,

Laurel

Flying Saucer socks

2010-11-17T09:57:00.004-06:00

I couldn't resist the Flying Saucer sock yarn when I came in to work on Saturday. I had seen it before, and thought it was an ingenious idea: one spool, two strands dyed and wound together. Smart! Though I liked all the colors, "Sunspot" seemed the most season-appropriate.

I have made several pairs of socks before, but I wanted to try two-at-a-time, toe-up socks. Judy showed me the Turkish cast-on, and away I went. After knitting the toe and a bit more, I decided that the combination of the "medium" sized sock and size 1 Addi Turbos was creating too small of a tube, so I consulted with a friend (thanks, Brenda!), and decided to begin again with 16 stitches per needle cast on, and 72 stitches total after the toe increases. Much better! Though at some point, the patterns got slightly off, you can see that they are still extremely close, color-wise:

I love this yarn! The fabric has a nice feel (probably also partly due to the size needles I chose), and they are not rough, but also not so soft that they feel like they'll wear out after a wash or two. I can't wait to see the finished product, which will be a gift for Christmas!

Rev up for winter!

2010-11-13T10:35:00.004-06:00

We've been very fortunate, weather-wise, this fall. It's given everyone some extra time to get their warm woolens knit for the coming bluster! Here's some more lovely FO's that have been added to our friends' cold weather stashes!

What wonderful work! Keep the finished projects coming!

Just In!

2010-11-10T15:15:00.001-06:00

Just in! New sock yarn by Skacel called Flying Saucer. Both balls of yarn is wound on a reel. So you can knit off the reel, two socks at a time. Or you can rewind the yarn off the reel your self and knit one sock at a time. The coolest part is either way you choose to use the yarn, the socks match. A must see!
