CLASS LINEUP AND OTHER FUN STUFF

Fall is here again, and yes, it means that cooler weather is on the way; but cooler weather is sweater weather, and sweater weather means knitting and crocheting time! Because we know the holiday season rapidly approaches, we've purposely constructed a class list that lends itself to making beautiful items quickly! Each project has a little something to make it interesting, and sometimes even a bit spicy, but they are all manageable, and they all make wonderful gifts.

BASIC SOCK CLASS
For some reason, socks seem to be the most intimidating endeavor to a knitter, with all of those fan-dangled needles and that bothersome heel! That is why it is one of our favorite classes to teach! Join us and learn why most knitters always have a sock in the works, and why you'll never want to wear a store-bought sock again! I just thought I'd mention that the socks that are pictured above were knitted and DESIGNED by our very own Jess Reed, who has only knitted scarves and a BSJ up until now! We are super proud of you, Blondie-Blonde!

TAM OF MANY COLORS



Entrelac knitting is glorious thing. The interesting woven look created with this method of knitting surely turns heads! We have come across several hat patterns that showcase the art of entrelac, but this one really appealed to me because it incorporates goodies like cables and lace and it's quite versatile! It looks stunning as a dignified beret, a distinguished snood, or a bold slouchy hat! You don't want to miss this class!

WHEN: Wednesday, October 19th and 26th
TIME: 6:00pm - 8:00pm OR
WHEN: Sunday, October 23rd, and November 6th TIME: 12:oopm - 2:00pm

THE INTWISTING CROCHETED MOBEOUS COWL


With every passing day, we become a little more enamored with crochet. With hopes to encourage our knitters to try crocheting, I made up this fun little twisted cowl. Using two different colors of a fingering weight yarn (I used Sausalito), I quickly worked up this snazzy, visually "intwisting" accessory just in time for the cooler weather.

WHEN: Wednesday, November 2nd, 9th, 16th and Friday, November 4th.
TIME: 12:00pm - 2:00pm
SKILL LEVEL: Enthusiastic Beginner
INSTRUCTOR: Tasha

TWO SOCKS AT A TIME

That's right, we're sockin' it to ya two at a time! Do you hate measuring to make sure your socks are the same length? Do you tend to lose your needles? Do you get a recurring case of SSS (also known to us knitters as "Second Sock Syndrome"? Then sign up for this class pronto! Learn how to make a pair of socks at the same time! That's right! When you're done, you're DONE! It really is quite exciting!

WHEN: Wednesday, November 9th and 16th TIME: 12:00pm - 2:00pm OR
