    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!

    STRICKWEAR KITS HAVE ARRIVED!

    Kathy told us about the gorgeous STRICKWEAR kits a while back, and when we found out they weren’t going to be at TNNA, we ordered them now. We plan on featuring them at a SATURDAY KAL, but we have a sneaking suspicion they won’t last that long. They are remarkable. you can choose from the MOBIUS CAPELET, the BOLERO, or the ADAGIO SHAWL in amazing colorways:

    We bought at least three colorways for each design; they are kitted up in a lovely clear bag for the perfect viewing. The yarns are scrumptious merino….yum. We’re thinking this won’t be the last order….what do you think?

    NEW STUFF IN THE STORE!

    This is not a time of year we generally get new stuff in—after all, we are going to the big TNNA show this weekend. But we simply ran out of some things, so we had to restock. We have a great selection now of some very popular yarns from CASCADE: 220, 220 SUPERWASH, SIERRA and ALPACA LACE.

    And the amazing SHELBY was in the shop today so we could do a massive FALL ORDER with her. We ordered SOCK YARN, an ALPACA/CASHMERE blend, WORSTED WEIGHT , and a lovely fingering weight that simply SPARKLES. look for these beauties to be here in a few months…we are just delighted to be working with a local talent like SHELBY. Below is a teaser of her colorways:

    And did we mention the big TNNA show is this weekend? We will be off to Columbus, Ohio to do a lot of shopping. We will be open all weekend thanks to our wonderful staff; we will, however be closed next Monday as we drive back.
