NEW Beginner crochet class with Amy
Last tweek Amy held a class on crochet flowers. WOW!! What a crowded class! I guess Amy hit upon a winner here. We will do this class again- and soon. But for right now- we have to stay on crochet schedule...
So for this week- Amy will be teaching the treble crochet stitch by making these shamrocks. Please bring a size G or H crochet hook and just a couple of extra dollars to purchase the yarn kit to make them. We will have small inexpensive kits available in Fantasy Naturale and Encore Worsted. They make a great embellishment or a lapel pin.
This is one of the fastest growing classes we have. Amy is terrific and she is showing how much fun crochet can be!
ALSO- please note... Amy encourages all to work on a crochet project of their own choice. The featured project of week is just a suggestion- and its usually a fun one too.

Winged Shawl with Jackie-
This is a wonderful pattern- surprisingly simple yet impressive as can be. Make yours out of any fingering, DK or even worsted weight yarn- striping ones seem to look the best. Make it as long as you wish. With just 2 balls of Noro Silk Garden Sock, Jackie knit hers as shown here. She added a button tab to allow her to wear it as a capelet.
For the Shawl, bring size 8-- 24" circulars, but remember- you may need to change to another size needle, depending on your yarn choice.

Thursday, March 8- 10:00 - 12:00 class with JoAnne
Last week we began our trek toward knitting up a REAL doily. We will be taking it in steps- first of all is a small doily type coaster. Knitting on small needles??- we can do it!!
Bring size 3 or 4 needles, both a 16" circular and double points. Also some stitch markers will be helpful. Yarn available at the shop.
And if thats too much for you- work the small cloth doily knit in Fantasy Naturale, as seen below.
Bring double points and a 16" circular needle size 3, 4 or 7, depending on which project you wish to do. This is going to be fun, and quite a learning experience. For this one you need a half ball of Fantasy Naturale, and size 7 needles- both a 16" circular and double points.
Stitch markers will be helpful. Yarn available at the shop as well.
If neither doily is to your liking- try knitting an entire Apartment building! For this one bring size 7 needles and a generous half ball of Fantasy Naturale ( that means over 50g). Yarn available in class as well.
Wow!

Pat's March socks are now complete. These look GREAT!! She calls them her shy shamrocks socks. The sock shines in a soft green color, with green beads and shamrocks adorning the cuffs. Pat is using K1C2's Pediwick sock yarn--a non wool yarn containing Bamboo and nylon- with plenty of stretch.
Eileen started working on her March socks this past weekend - she chose our newest sock yarn- Smooshy by Dream in Color. Eileen chose a lovely Blue Green handpaint shade for her own pair.
Here is Eileen's socks in prgress...
And below is what they will look like when done. This pattern is called a Sampler socks- you get to test your skills with several pattern stitches.

Wednesday afternoons with Eileen
Eileen's Wednesday afternoon class (4:00 - 6:00) has chosen to work on a sampler afghan themselves! Here is Eileen's first square- all finished. And here are some additional squares- some finished, some in progress.
This absolutely stunning shawl takes 6 balls of Syros, but I swear half of it is in the dramatic fringe. Each ball of Syros contains over 300 yards of pure shine.
This is the most popular sock yarn from Dream in Color! Smooshy is a perfect name for this yarn! You'll love knitting with this yarn and wearing the resultant projects. Smooshy is super soft and the colors are absolutely stunning. It is dyed carefully to prevent pooling too, so we think you'll be pleased with the results. Besides socks, this is the best yarn for a shawl! Each 4oz skein contains 450 yards, so one skein will make a pair of socks.
ALOHA- 25% off. Make a scarf in literally 10 minutes! Make one to go with your Inca Button Hat. Inca also available at 25% off.
