Are your ready for a square with a twist?

Hi everyone,
We’ve got a special square to knit. I call the pattern “Off-Kilter”. It can be done in one or multiple colors - and would be a great way to use up those leftover bits.

The square is knit in the round, so we will start the square using double-pointed needles and then switch over to a circular needle. Please bring both types of needles with you on Saturday (or call the shop to let them know what size you need).

I’m looking forward to seeing you on Saturday at 11:30!

Hi All! Megan (of Befri) has designed a great, great "green" bag, check it out!

We have the new pattern in the store. It’s a Green Bag or market bag, which ever name you prefer. It crochets very quickly, uses 2 balls of Cotton Classic and would make a great holiday gift for your environmentally conscious family members and friends.

It is also a free Ravelry download.

Sunday Knitting Class With Megan: Chunky Holiday Vest

The holidays are just around the corner and if your family and friends have been asking for knitted gifts, this Chunky Vest is a great project. This vest knits up quickly in one piece-you only need to seam the shoulders and weave in a few ends. We have an excellent selection of yarn options in the shop to complete this project along with a ton of buttons perfect for finishing.

The classes will be on October 11th and 18th at 1:00 pm.

This will be a two part class: Part 1 will focus on getting your yarn and gauge and starting the body of the vest. Part 2…we’ll see how far you have gotten in the week and then we can go from there. I’ll help with the crochet edging (very simple edging- it makes the button holes for you) and any other finishing or questions on the construction.

You can take one or both classes depending on what type of help you think you need!

 The pattern is called Chunky Vest by Be Fri.

Let the Holiday Season Knitting begin!

Hi Everyone, 
We found a great project that I’ll be teaching this Saturday (10/3). It’s called the Downtown Clutch and the pattern is available for free! 8-) It uses about 280 yds of sport wt yarn.

I started mine Sunday and it is already half done!

Here is a picture from the original pattern: 

And here is a few pics of mine done in Ritratto.

I’ll also be making a smaller one, maybe with a chain strap/wristlet length out of Gatsby.

Join us and get a jump on your holiday knitting! Call the shop and reserve your spot for Saturday! 
See you there….
