Hand Knitting Yarns and Accessories


Beautiful Sweater    

And our Spring Fling Winner is Pam Meridy!

Congratulations Pam!  Enjoy your new knitting supplies!  We had a great time with everyone during our Spring Fling.  Thanks to everyone who came by and shopped.

 

 

 

Knit-a-Long (KAL) continues with another beautiful upcoming Project!

Knitters,

Our next KAL will begin the week after Spring Break/Easter, Thursday, April 12th and April 14th.  We are going to do Summer Waves which is a sweet cotton cardigan.    This is a FREE pattern and has a wide size range. Because it is top down, you can easily adjust the length longer or shorter as well as the sleeve length.  For those that haven't worked a lace pattern, this is your chance to get your feet wet.  You can download thru Ravelry or go to Cascade.com. 

 

Ultra Pima cotton is a shop staple and comes in a variety of luscious colors.  If you don't see a color you like or not enough skeins in stock, ask the shop to look at the color card and put in your order.  Check the pattern to determine how much you will need and remember if you plan to alter the pattern in anyway, make sure you have adjusted how much yarn you will need.

 

Another choice for this pattern, is Sublime 100% Egyptian Cotton - just got in the store last week.  Gorgeous! 

 

I'm torn in which yarn I want to use!   Whichever you decide, please make sure that you get to the shop to sign up and get your yarn and/or order it so you will have it in time to start April 12th

New Classes are HERE!

Eventide Beaded Scarf

Have you seen the Beaded scarf project by the register for the class?  Perhaps you have already put your name on the list for the class.  Classes are going to be offered starting in January.  Pick your date and pay for the class to reserve your slot.  Multiple dates will be offered.  Karen, who will be teaching the class, works during the week so these classes will be on Saturdays.  We may add an evening session on a weeknight if there are those who aren't available on the weekend.

Class details:

Skill level - intermediate

Yarn -We do ask that you buy your yarn at Yarn Garden.  Purchase it soon as you will need to pick beads for the project.    approximately 450 yards of fingering/sock weight yarn.

Needles - size 6 straight needles.  Circular needles will lead to hours of frustration.  Karen can tell you all about that, she tried.

Pattern:  You need to purchase the pattern through Ravelry download.  The cost is $5.00.

Beads:  The pattern calls for 1108 size  8 glass beads (approximately 3 oz.) Please note Karen used size 6 beads.   She used 4 tubes of size 6 beads purchased at JoAnn.

Homework - Divide your yarn into 2 balls of equal weight.  We can help you with that at the shop. Pre string about 275 beads onto 1 end of your first ball.  This must be done prior to class.

Class cost - $25 for 2 hours.  Karen will teach you the technique and get you started on the project,  if you later find you need more instruction you can schedule an addition class or private lesson for one-on-one instruction.

By now you have realized this project will be a little more expensive.  However, in the words of MasterCard, the finished project is "priceless.".
