Blue Heron Yarns... Now available at The Knitter's Edge 
We begin our relationship with this handpaint company with 3 yarns:
Soft Twist Rayon
It is exactly as its name describes- a very soft hand, delicate sheen, and of course beautiful hand painted colors. 525 yards of luscious drape.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Egyptian Mercerized Cotton
1000 yards of absolute color! Pima cotton at its finest with a beautiful sheen . Enough milage to make most any shawl.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Rayon Metallic
This yarn is amazing. We had nothing like it, and knew we needed it! Beautiful soft drape of rayon with just a hint of glitter. It is amazing! You need to see this. At 550 yards, it will make any shawl just a bit bigger. |

Great American Afghan Squares
With Diana

She has just finished a second square seen here, laying on top of the first square: Call for more information and to sign up.

Saturdays in April
1:00 - 3:00 PM
Socks on 2 circs with Pat
Last Saturday Pat started a new sock of the month, This month she has chosen a simple stitch pattern- but one that teaches a new technique- knitting backwards! The sock is called Puppy Love and will look best in a self striping sock yarn- and we have many to choose from including the new Fingerpaints from Cherry Tree Hill (see more below on this yarn). You can join up at any time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thursdays
4:00 - 6:00 PM
Toys with Steph
Its time we help Steph pick out a new toy to knit. Lets all send her some pictures of knitted toys- ones we think would cute to do. Here's my entry:
Now seriously- lets all give Steph some ideas
Come into the shop to see Steph's Toy menagerie. It is a fasinating collection.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tuesdays & Thursdays- Beginning April 20
6:30 - 8:30 PM with Linda Miller
Linda Miller is starting a new Shawl! This is called Nightsongs. The pattern is worked in charts- not very difficult ones. The pattern is repeatable so you can easily make the shawl larger. This was important to Linda as she wanted to use all of the 550 yards of the new Blue Heron Rayon Metallic she purchased for it. The pattern as written calls for 1 hank of Handmaiden Sea Silk ( we got that!) at 440 yards- so you can use that too.
By the way- you can freely come to either of Linda's classes- Tuesday or Thursday. So if one week the Tuesday works best- come then, and the next week- Thursday of it suits your schedule better.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Saturdays in April
1:00 - 3:00
Socks with Eileen Eileen started April with a new sock knit with a brand new yarn by Cherry Tree Hill. Its called Fingerpaints. Cheryl Potter- owner & master dyer of CTH has discovered a way to make a self striping handpaint sock yarn. We have the first products from her dyepots at The Knitter's Edge. The base yarn is her signature Supersock Select- spun in Peru just for her.
The colorways are new and exciting. Eileen has chosen Morning Glory- a blend of purples and greens that says Spring all day long!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Washcloths with JoAnne
Next week (Tuesday-April 13) we celebrate Spring with a flower wash cloth. This cloth is knit in pieces (the 5 petals) which are then connected and knit to the center on a 16" circular followed by double pointed needles. A good learning experience. You will need a 16" size 7 or 8 plus double pointed needles in size 7 or 8. We supply the yarn.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Join Any of Pat's Classes for The Brandywine Shawl
You may join any of Pat's classes and work on this new shawl. The Brandywine Shawl. Pat is knitting it out of Hand Maiden Sea Silk- a Silk/ Sea cell blend that has incredible drape and luxurious shine and color. Just one hank makes this easy lace shawl.

This 100% cotton is soft to the touch and colorful to the eye.
I knit this Baby Vest with just 2 balls of this yarn.
