    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.

    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.

    WEEKEND @ WOOLWINDERS

    We love Spring weekends at the shop; the door is open, the wine is poured, and everyone just seems to relax a bit. So join us this weekend as we work on our PLACEMATS during the Saturday KAL and we offer a very special program in the Salon on Sunday.

    From 2-4 PM we will learn how to make CROCHET FLOWERS and KNIT HATS for a lovely young lady who is undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia. BAILEY is just four years old and has asked her wonderful aunt SHARESSA to make her PINK HATS to cover her hair loss. Sharessa naturally turned to her friends at WoolWinders for some help. So join us for a very worthy and personal cause. Sharessa and STEPHANIE (crocheter extraordinaire) will be on hand to help. Yes, even we will be crocheting!

    We will make an exception to our 12 spot rule for this wonderful day, but we do need to limit the number to 20 because of fire regulations. So if you want to pitch in, give us a call to reserve a spot. The program is, of course, free of charge and will run from 2-4 pm. Bring your circular 16” needles size 6 or 7 as well as a G or H crochet hook. We have plenty of yarn for you to purchase.
