THE EVERLASTING APPEAL OF NORO

I have seen a lot of yarns come in and out of style. Just like most things, what our hands want to knit with changes with the seasons. All I can hear in my head is Heidi Klum's beautifully accented phrase "One minute you're in, and the next you're OUT"

That statement does not apply to Noro. No matter what time of year, what size needles you like working on, or whether you're making an adult sized cardigan or a baby afghan, Noro always seems to have a skein of yarn that will do the trick. For that reason, I make sure that the shop is always well stocked with this amazing yarn. For that matter, we just got a huge order in to satiate your Noro cravings.

Don't worry!! I won't take pictures of every cubby full of Noro!
But I will show you a few examples of the various things we've made with Noro at the shop!

Fun and simple baby hat.

I love using Noro for Fair Isle work!

Look how beautiful the colors work up!

My Fair Isle Socks

The Famous Entrelac Scarf

And my newest design......The Block Party Baby Blanket!

We love it!

And don't forget to check out some of their great books!!

Hope you're inspired to knit up some beautiful, colorful, yummy things! Happy Knitting and Crocheting, and have a very Happy Easter!!

CURRENT CLASSES

We are starting Tuesday evening classes with Mindy Hansen. She will be here 5-8 pm and the classes will change about every 3 weeks. The first set begins in March and she is teaching how to make socks, two at a time, using magic loop. The cost is $10 per class. Mindy is well versed in most knitting techniques and is a very patient teacher. You will love her!

If you can't make a class....

Drop in anytime for any questions or project difficulties is welcome! WE do NOT charge for this service and you don't have to wait for a class to start on something challenging. We can walk you through whenever you need help.

There is always someone here to assist you,
don't wait for us to post a class, come in and tell us what you'd like to learn. It's about your schedule not ours.
Our philosophy is to keep an open table not have formal classes. It works for us and you, don't be shy, ask for help on your dream project. Anyone is welcome and we encourage sitting at the table and chatting and knitting or crocheting, whatever your pleasure.
