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.

FEEL LIKE FELTING?
Well, we have the yarn and patterns for you. Just arrived at the shop today, more NONI patterns and lots of our favorite felting yarn, CASCADE 220. Due to the number of requests we have had for the exquisite HEATHER shades, we ordered quite a few of those, as well as the lovely new QUATTROS. Come check them out!
And stay tuned for exciting news about an upcoming program at the shop that will teach you how to make some of the fabulous NONI BAGS. We will have all the details next week!

WEEKEND @ WOOLWINDERS
We have recovered from our sale, and with the help of our awesome staff have rearranged things in the store. Come check us out! And come hang with us during the SATURDAY KAL (placemats) and the first of a two-part SUNDAY IN THE SALON—the SHRUG. This SHRUG is amazing—it looks good on everyone! And in addition, it is a great way to learn the basics of lace knitting. You will need about 320-360 yards of worsted weight yarn and needles size 10.5-11.
Just in time for the shrug, we have received a reorder of SCHAEFER YARN. How popular is this vendor? We went through 12 SKEINS OF A SINGLE COLOR OF LAUREL in TWO DAYS!!!!
And please note, we are closed Monday for the Memorial Day Holiday. Safe travels and/or Happy Knitting!

BONNETS FOR BAILEY
Thanks to our intrepid group of knitters AND crocheters who came out today to work on caps for Bailey. Aunt Sharessa was in attendance, of course, along with some amazing goodies she made for the group, as was Stephanie, who did the previously impossible and actually got us to crochet correctly using a left-handed method. Now the question remains can we nominate her for Montgomery County Teacher of the Year? If she could teach us to crochet, imagine if we really had her for high school chemistry. Lucky students at Walter Johnson HS.
If you were unable to come today but want to contribute a cap for Bailey who has started her chemotherapy already, we have a basket filled with hats and patterns. Sharessa will be taking them to her on THURSDAY, MAY 28. We appreciate all of your help!
And thanks to everyone who came out for our sale. You made it our BEST SPRING SALE EVER!!!! We exceeded our sales goals and now can focus on all the yummy fall stuff we will be shopping for at the TNNA show in a few weeks. As always, we thank our staff as well, who were right there will pre/during/and post sale help and support.
