Shadow Knitting

Another new class being offered this spring is Shadow Knitting. In this 2 hour class you will learn this technique of creating "holographic" designs in your knitting. Pictured here is a scarf with triangular shadow designs. For the class you will need 50 yards of light worsted weight yarn in two contrasting colors (a tightly spun cotton is preferred), size 4 needles and stitch markers. You will be making swatches in the class, and learning the technique, so you can knit a project of your choice. The class fee is $25. The pattern for this scarf is found in Vivian Hoxbro's Shadow Knitting book. Check the calendar for class dates and times.

Baby Aran Sweater

Pictured is the model for the Baby Aran Sweater class being offered on the new March-June calendar. In this three part class you learn how to knit an aran sweater, but on a very small scale. Materials needed are 350 yards of worsted weight yarn, needles to achieve a gauge of 5 sts/inch in stockinette stitch, cable needle, and 5 buttons. The pattern is included in the class fee which is $50. Check the calendar on our home page for class dates and times.

Baby Surprise!

Come see the Baby Surprise sweater on display in the shop.....it's very much like this one, only in pink and lilac! The first photo is what the sweater looks like "before" and then once it's folded, it looks like this.....

This one is just waiting for the buttons to be added. Am thinking little monkey buttons would be good! The little girl version in the shop has really cute bunny buttons. I used the Kertzer Down to Earth Cotton for both, it's organic and lovely to work with, and brand new in the shop! Makes a great Baby Surprise, don't you think??

It's almost that time again
