It's the SMITTEN MITTEN! Our own FLO MEIT knitted up this incredibly cute mitten that fits two hands being held for valentines of all ages to stay warm together through cold winter days! With only one skein of MALABRIGO RASTA you and your Valentine can, literally, "keep in touch" on long winter walks, at outdoor sporting events, or anytime there's a chill in the air! It's also perfect for the single Valentine who wants to use it as a muff:) As you can see from the picture above, the SMITTEN MITTEN works so well that I think Flo and I may now be engaged in certain parts of the world, LOL! Happy knitting, friends and stay warm!
Thursday afternoon Safari Knitting Group Class member, SUSAN BRAUNSTEIN, looks FABULOUS in her brand new, PERFECTLY fitting, sweater she finished knitting in class today using MALABRIGO RIOS yarn! Susan worked very hard for the past couple of months on this sweater and deserves every self-satisfied smile she wants--this sweater fits her to a "T" and her stitch work is flawless. Job very well done, Susan! And let's give a shout out to her fantastic safari class instructor, KIM SCHNEIBOLK, who helped her through the process with advice, tips, encouragement, and all around great teaching:) What a great way to kick off the new year!
Our own Safari Knitting Group instructor, KIM SCHNEIBOLK, knows how to start the new year off in style! Always the one we look to for fashion-forward advice, Kim showed up today in this fabulous sleeveless turtleneck she knitted over the holidays using TSC/ARTYARN TRANQUILITY YARN! And while Kim always looks great, the photo doesn't do justice to TRANQUILITY'S incredible softness and subtle halo effect. Start your year off right with some of the NEW YARNS arriving soon from SWEET GEORGIA YARNS, JUNIPER MOON FARM, MADELINETOSH and MALABRIGO YARNS, at Woolwinders, your neighborhood yarn shop!

It's cold and snowy today! The PERFECT day to come on in and sit a spell at your favorite yarn shop:). Warm up while working on your current project or while choosing a new project to keep you warm since it looks like we are actually going to have snow this year, lol!
Welcome to 2014! Make this winter the time you FINALLY learn to fix your mistakes or to block and finish your knitting and crocheting projects like a pro! You want you hard work to look handmade, not homemade, lol! Even something as simple and pretty as this HALONA SHAWL knitted primarily all in garter stitch using SHALIMAR BEATHLESS yarn requires simple fixes like how to pick up a dropped garter stitch and how to properly block your finished piece so it looks it best. Join Jennifer Raymond on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST for ONE OR BOTH of her classes: BASIC BLOCKING & FINISHING from 9:30-11L30 AM and FIXING BASIC KNITTING MISTAKES from 12-2 PM and give your lovingly knitted projects the professionally finished look they (and you!) deserve, at Woolwinders, your neighborhood yarn shop!
HAPPY NEW YEAR from your friends at Woolwinders Yarn Shop! Remember, we are CLOSED December 30-January 1st so that our staff may ring in the New Year with their families:) We all look forward to seeing you when we RE-OPEN on THURSDAY, JANUARY 2ND! Happy knitting and happy new year's, everyone!
