    WINTER 2010 Class Schedule

    The WINTER 2010 Class Schedule is available here.
    Sundays in the Salon

    Winter provides an opportunity to get back to your own knitting and crocheting! Enough of the selfless gift giving. Take a deep breath and join us this winter for the Saturday Knitalongs and/or our shorter Sunday in the Salon programs. All programs are FREE OF CHARGE and are held from 2-4 PM. Please respect our policy and work with yarns purchased from WoolWinders. Thanks!

    February 7: Snowboard Hat: Get out your big needles and superbulky yarn for this weekend knit that will keep your head warm through the rest of the winter!

    February 14: Felted Ballet Slippers: Love to make slippers but hate doing short rows? This is the pattern for you. Knit flat and sewn together—add a great button and you are good to go!

    February 21: Reverse Cable Scarf: One of our most popular programs. We will teach you to make a scarf that has cables on both sides.

    February 28: Pocket Scarf: Keep your hands toasty warm in this really easy and yet unique scarf.

    March 7: Cable Headband: As spring approaches, you might not need the warmth of a whole hat. Make this headband instead.

    March 14: Laurel Pram Blanket: We are often asked “What can I do with ONE SKEIN of Laurel”? Here’s your answer. The very talented Stephanie designed a few “pram” or stroller blanket patterns that are featured in the Spring Newsletter. And we’ll show you how fantastic they are!

    March 21: Felted Oven Mitts: Get a jump on Mother’s Day gifts with these clever oven mitts that are knit and then felted for ultimate protection!

    March 28: Spring Crocus Tote: Welcome in spring with a felted tote that features the first seasonal flower as embellishment.

    Saturday Knitalongs

    Join us each Saturday for longer Knitalongs. Whether you want these fall beauties to end up as gifts to yourself or others is totally your call! All programs are free of charge and run from 2-4 PM. Please respect our shop and work with yarn purchased from WoolWinders.

    JANUARY: Fair Isle/Aran Afghan Squares Requires more advanced knitting skills, including pattern reading. Join Paige as she guides your through both the Fair Isle and Aran (cable) techniques to make a beautiful afghan.

    FEBRUARY: February Lady Sweater. OK, corny, we know. But let’s celebrate the month with its eponymous sweater. And it’s flattering to boot.

    MARCH: Laurel Shawl Make this beautiful lace shawl out of the hand-dyed Laurel yarn to welcome in spring!

    THE ROWAN IS IN!

    John the UPS Guy staggered under the weight of six large boxes, so the call went out in the store. "THE ROWAN IS IN!" This is always a very happy day at WoolWinders. The staff hustles to get all the yarn put out because they would feel guilty sitting around looking at all the books otherwise. So as we write this, most of it is entered, priced, shelved and stored. And yes, we have already sold some out of the box.

    So what came in? Old favorites in both existing and new colors: FELTED TWEED, RIBBON TWIST, KIDSILK HAZE, KID CLASSIC, BIG WOOL, YORKSHIRE TWEED, and CASHSOFT DK. And new yarns: BIG WOOL FUSION, a fabulous variegated superchunky merino, KIDSILK SPRAY, a tone on tone variation of the fabulous KIDSILK HAZE, and HARRIS TWEED ARAN AND CHUNKY!

    And as the staff can attest, the books are fabulous! Come check out the CLASSIC line: CLASSIC CAFE, GARDEN, BABIES, HOLIDAY, HOME, and WINTER. The beautiful SHORELINES is in as well, which in addition to containing lovely patterns has some unbelievable photos and poems as well! We have some reading to do tonight (and some planning to do tomorrow!)


    Don't know how to work with these gorgeous yarns? Well, our FALL CLASS SCHEDULE is at the store and will complement many of the techniques shown in the new books. It should be up on the website within a day or two, but if you are local, stop by and pick one up!
