The Spring Class schedule is finished and we have hard copies at the shop. We’ve sent an electronic copy to our lovely webmistress Stacy; it should be up on the site in a few days. But if you can’t wait, come on in! And stay tuned for the SATURDAY KAL and SUNDAYS in the SALON SCHEDULE. We should be finishing those up next week, in time for the SPRING NEWSLETTER!!!! Want to be first to receive them? Make sure you are on our email list. Just go to the bottom of this home page, lower left side. Put in your email address and follow the prompts. Because of privacy laws you will have to answer our email and confirm that you want to be on our list. But sure you do, right?

Thanks to our pals at WESTMINSTER FIBERS, we are now restocked with ROWAN SUMMER TWEED, a yarn filled with personality. Comprised of raw silk and cotton, the yarn has great texture and despite what it says on the label IS machine washable on gentle. In fact, it softens up considerably after a quick cycle. It is, truth be told, one of our favorite summer yarns. And the accompanying pattern book has some terrific and inspiring ideas.

Speaking of inspiring, we are about half filled for our MARCH KAL—DESIGN YOUR OWN SHELL. Don’t pay to learn how to make a shell! Join our free program that runs every SATURDAY from 2-4 PM. Here’s how it works. Bring in a favorite top, preferably sleeveless. It doesn’t have to hand knit, it just has to fit you REALLY WELL. Pick out some yarn (we’ll help you) and a stitch pattern (ditto). After you swatch your yarn, we will produce a pattern tailored to the measurements of that favorite top and get you started. And you’ll have four Saturdays to knit with some friends! Give us a call if you want to participate-we limit the group to 12 so everyone has a place to sit.

Yes, March will be here Sunday!!! So we will spend Saturday the 28th of February finishing up our KAL PEACE OF MY MIND SHAWL. And we’ll get you ready for next weekend’s DESIGN YOUR OWN SHELL (more about that later).

On Sunday, join us in knitting an adorable SQUARE FELTED BAG. Sorry we don’t have a picture—for some reason it wouldn’t copy from the pattern site, but we do have a lovely model at the shop thanks to FLO. It’s made from 3 skeins of WOOLY STRIPES yarn and makes use of the MITERED SQUARE technique. What better way to learn that than with felting—if you goof up a time or two it won’t show up!!! Just give us a call to reserve your spot for this FREE program from 2-4 on SUNDAY.
