Classes:    January 26, 2008 – Saturday 10:30 til noon - Ruffled Scarf Class - $15.

   Learn to knit a knitted/woven ribbon into a ruffled scarf.  This technique using this special yarn can be used to add ruffles to those sweaters, shawls etc.     Skill level:  Easy.  (The new Knit’N Style has a gorgeous ruffled purse which I am going to tackle making in the next 2 weeks).

 

                  February 9, 2008 - Saturday 10:30 - 2pm  Entrelac Class - $25  (We will send out for lunch).   Skill level:  Medium   Learn to make a beautiful multi-colored-diamond pattern into a felted purse.  Please purchase your yarn and pattern prior to the class.    There will be some simple knitting for you prior to the class.

Other classes will be posted to our website when decided.  Additions to our class schedule will be posted to our website.    I am working on an Entrelac sock (toe-up) using a multi colored yarn.   Instead of changing colors, the yarn is doing all the work (well minus a lot of counting on my part). This class will be for advanced knitters.

COMING SOON:    UNIVERSAL YARNS.   These delicious yarns are multi colored, some self striping, mohair and ribbon blends are surprisingly priced.  They will be arriving soon. 

 

We are hoping to make many positive changes in the upcoming months.  

 

PREVIEW OF UPCOMING EVENTS:    We are going to check-out a “Knit In” at a local Restaurant/Spa.    We will see how that ‘pans’ out.

 

Different store hours for the summer:  Perhaps another late night – Wednesdays 4 –8pm in lieu of our normal 10-4 daytime hours on Wednesdays.    This will allow me some time in the ‘yard”.   I want to enjoy some yard work and get a tan (yeah right)!

 

Open 1 Sunday per month as a trial to see if this is something that you might want.

 

CLASSES:    Remember:  You can always schedule a one-on-one class for $10 per person per hour.   Or get your own group together and let us know what it is that you would like to learn.   We will be glad to accommodate at a time mutually convenient to the both of us.

 

KNITTERS DREAM BLOG – has been established.   We do not have it running yet.  But this is going to be a way for us to communicate with you to share new ideas, yarns and projects without having to wait for our quarterly newsletters.

 

Hoping to see you soon!
