We love SUNDAYS at the shop because there is always a lot of action going on. First up, our friend JEN stopped by to show us her fabulous SERAPHIM shawl made from SCHAEFER ANNE. Don’t worry, we have already ordered the pattern and are planning a SUNDAY IN THE SALON for this project. Jen terms it a “great beginner lace shawl.”

Next, everyone got down to business, with HEATHER leading the way:

It was Heather’s first teaching gig at the shop and you can see by the looks of concentration on ANNE and DEIRDRE’S faces that she did beautifully:

The end result? Everyone produced a lovely CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT. For some, it was a first foray into FAIR ISLE KNITTING:Many thanks to PAIGE, who designed the pattern and knit the model. If you would like to make a few of these (they go really quickly!), we have the pattern at the shop free with a purchase of yarn.
