WINTER 2010 Class Schedule
The WINTER 2010 Class Schedule is available here.
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.
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.

OOPS! WEEKEND @ WOOLWINDERS
We were so excited about all the yarn arrivals yesterday that we forgot to blog about upcoming weekend programs. Saturday is the last day of our SPRING SHELL KAL—we can’t wait to see everyone’s progress. For those of you who have asked, we will be repeating the program (i.e. as a “SUMMER SHELL”) KAL event during Saturdays in JULY.
And on Sunday, join us as we knit the must-have spring accessory—a lightweight laceCOWL. We are wearing the one KERRY knit today and it adds that “je ne sais quoi” to our otherwise standard jeans and top outfit. You will need 150 yards of a lightweight yarn (think silk or cotton) and size 16” 7-9 needle. We have a few spaces left for this FREE program—just give us a call at 240.632.9276 to save you a seat at the table.

ISN'T SHE LOVELY?
We have more fun knitting for babies! Check out NOA, the new addition to Lew’s law firm group, courtesy of mom ALYSSA and dad JOEY. Isn’t she adorable in the CROCUS CARDIGAN as she rests on the ORGANIC COTTON baby blanket?????

LOTS OF NEW STUFF @ WOOLWINDERS
Wow! Take a few days off and you come into a WHIRLWIND! Ready?
We are now stocked with three lovely neutral colors of the BLUE SKY ORGANIC COTTON. This is one of our favorite yarns for baby projects—the yarn is undyed and ultra soft. Lovely for baby blankets, sweaters and the like.
Next, we received a box from SCHAEFER YARNS filled with their yummy LAUREL and SUSAN cotton yarns. At this point, we are basically taking anything they have in stock; we appreciate your patience if your color isn’t here yet. We knew that once CHERYL began attending the TNNA trade shows she would get on everyone’s radar. But on the other hand, we get to chat with her and her wonderful staff almost on a weekly basis. And we promise to be the first in line at the fall show to get her amazing wools.
We are also restocked with those all important NOTIONS like cable needles, chibis etc. Since we also get some single patterns from our notions distributor, we also have the lovely SCALLOPED BAG, FELTED HAT, and CROCUS CARDIGAN patterns back in stock.
Finally, although we thought we would sell down our DALE OF NORWAY since sales had been slow, wouldn’t you know that within the next few days everyone seemed to want STORK and BABY ULL. So relax; Dale will still be here.
