    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!

    UPCOMING WEEKEND AT WOOLWINDERS

    Well, we begin February with a fervent prayer that the retail gods will not be angered once again and cause us to close. Because we have GREAT FREE programs planned.

    On Saturday, we begin the FEBRUARY LADY SWEATER. We confess, we didn’t know much about this, but imagine our surprise when we really checked out the pattern and fell in love with its design AND construction. And it’s on WORSTED WEIGHT YARN. And it can be done in winter or spring yarns. AND it is top down. So yay!!!

    We have some spots open for the program, which will run (fingers crossed) every SATURDAY in February from 2-4 pm. Just give us a call to save a spot at the table for you.

    And on SUNDAY, our rescheduled SNOWBOARD HAT program will run from 2-4 pm. Again, this is free. Since it looks like winter will last for a while (even the groundhog saw his shadow yesterday!), you will get great use of this uber-warm hat. The program is filled; if you have signed up please beg, borrow, or steal 16” size 15 needles. We are completely out and hope that’s because all of you bought them. We do have plenty of yarn to choose from. We do have some size 13s so if you can knit loosely you should be ok.

    We can’t wait for these programs, and hope you are excited too!
