    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.

    UPCOMING EVENTS AT WOOLWINDERS

    We had a wonderful weekend despite our having spaced out and forgotten to schedule a program yesterday! But we have a great one coming up. First of all, please note we will be CLOSED on SATURDAY, JULY 4 for the holidayl But join us on SUNDAY the 5th for the uber-popular WOVEN MARKET BAG. This is the perfect summer accessory-great for the beach, the produce stands, the flea market, etc. It takes 200 yards of worsted weight cotton (we did ours in LAUREL and had enough left over for another one!) and straight needles size 10.5 and circs in 24” size 13 or 15. If you want to sign up for this FREE program, just give us a call at 240.632.9276. But please do your homework beforehand—we will tell you what it is when you register. The bag has a flat and boring bottom to knit—no need to take class time to do it! We will, however teach you to pick up stitches and do some lace knitting. This is a great first lace project. And did we mention the program is free? We saw the same one advertised at a nearby store for $65. Save your money for YARN!!!!

Simply go to the bottom left side of this home page and follow the instructions. You will get a couple of prompting messages back via email ensuring that you really want to sign up—aren’t anti-spam features great?
