Not that we don’t love it when customers line up at the door to get some knitting help, but we are committed to fostering indepedence among our newest knitters. So this week’s www.amazon.com selection is just perfect for them:

Everyone should have one or two comprehensive guides in their knitting bag; we like this one. A lot. Just click on the link and you will magically end up at amazon. Purchase the book from them and you will both get a great price and support us as well!

As for this weekend, we will be working on our lace coat on Saturday ( yes, folks, Gale has finished hers. We expected nothing less, right?). And on Sunday we present AIBHLINN, a fabulous fall cowl. If you don’t know how to bobble, this is the project for you. It’s so much fun!!!!! As always, the program is free of charge and runs from 2-4 PM. Just give us a call at 240.632.9276 to reserve a spot at the table. Please note that this free pattern comes from www.knitty.com. We ask that you download the pattern and bring it to the workshop so that the designer can be adequately paid for her talents.

You will need about 440 yards of worsted weight yarn (we used a yummy alpaca) and 24”circs size 7.
