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.
MARCH: Laurel Shawl Make this beautiful lace shawl out of the hand-dyed Laurel yarn to welcome in spring!

HOW'S YOUR JUNE SHAPING UP?
We are offering TWO NEW SAFARI SECTIONS in June! The SAFARI is our most popular class-with these three we now have EIGHT sections going on each week. What, may you ask is a SAFARI? And more importantly, do you need to wear a hat and bring a blow gun? The answer to the latter is a NO. But the SAFARI is an exploration of your knitting, bringing it to new heights. In the Safari, you pick a project that is beyond your current capabilities, and work throughout the month with a teacher and group. You get instruction, support, and comaraderie. What could be better?
The new classes will be held THURDAYS 9:30 am-11:30 AM with PAIGE (calling all color knitters) and SUNDAYS 10-noon with KATHY (only one spot remains in that one).
The folks who succeed in our safaris like working in groups and understand that the level of individual attention does not match that of a private lesson. But the tradeoff is the new friendships and lots of fun.
Interested? Give us a call at 240.632.9276 to sign up. The cost is $95 for the four week session, except for the SUNDAY session, which is 3 classes for $71.25 (no class Father’s Day).
And CROCHETERS, stay tuned. Beginning in JULY, Marietta will be teaching a SATURDAY MORNING SAFARI from 9-11 am. It will be the only section featuring BOTH crochet and knit projects.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
For Thursday evening, June 4. We will be featuring the fabulously talented indie (and local) dyer SHELBY KNITS. Shelby will be here with her many colorways of washable sock yarn that WoolWinders will be proud to carry. We’ve known Shelby for a few years, and when she approached us to carry her yarn, we jumped at the chance. The sock yarn is only the beginning. Check out her beautiful colorways:
She’ll be at the shop with 30 skeins of yarn from 6-8 PM. We are thinking these won’t last long, and won’t it be fun to expand our selections of SHELBY KNITS!!!!
