    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 WEARIN' OF THE GREEN

    We celebrate EVERYTHING at WoolWinders. Come in between now and Thursday for 15% off any yarn that has green or orange in it! How could we let St. Patrick’s Day go by without recognition???

    And we have been busy with the spring newsletter and are glad to report it is FINISHED. Now the fabulous LEW has to put the magic touches on the copy that makes it look so great, and it should be out by tomorrow evening. As you know, we only do electronic copies (more money to spend on yarn). So don’t miss it. To sign up for our email list, simply go to the lower left side of this home page and put in your email address. There will be a few prompts and an email waiting for you in your inbox to ensure that you really want to do this. Please follow all the instructions so we don’t end up in your spam filter!

    WE GOT YARN!!!!!

    The UPS Guy wheeled in three GINORMOUS boxes (literally bursting at the seams) filled with CASCADE YARNS today. Come see the beautiful new colorways in their best selling yarns: 220, 220 SUPERWASH and SIERRA. We love these yarns! SIERRA is perhaps our favorite three-season yarn and now the new quattro colorways are even more beautiful. The great thing about CASCADE is that their yarns are of high quality as well as high value. We know of no other distributor of great value yarns, particularly in the realm of MACHINE WASHABLE fibers. And CASCADE now has a lot of patterns on their website available as downloads (both free and paid). Just go to www.cascadeyarns.com to take a look!

    Also in, reorders of the NASHUA books as well as the new KNITTERS MAGAZINE.

    And just a reminder—WE ARE CLOSED SUNDAY FOR THE MARGARET FISHER PROGRAM. Come see us on Saturday!
