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.".
Knit-a-Long (KAL) continues with another beautiful upcoming Project!
Knitters,
Our next KAL will start March 1st and we are going to do the Billington Bag - a Ravelry Pattern that costs $1.99. The pattern calls for 650 yds. of worsted wool. Our lovely friend Cascade 220 is the yarn of choice and this one has so many beautiful colors to choose from. I also know that Universal Wool is another yarn the shop carries that is slightly cheaper. The shop will be stocking the shelves with some great color choices for us. This pattern calls for us to work with an interesting cable, creating a beautiful texture. Then we will felt this project ever so lightly so that we don't lose our texture. We will use wood handles and buttons for feet!
We need to sign up in the month of February and be ready to cast on March 1st! I can't wait to see the colors everyone chooses!
It’s going to be another great year for knitting and we have some exciting projects and ideas lined up for our KAL!
