CLASSES GOIN STRONG!

Hi Knitters, I have several pictures to show this week thanks to a good customer, Joann. She brought me lots of great stuff she has been working on. First is an adorable hat with pom-poms using Plymouth Dreambaby.

Here is one of the coolest scarf's I have seen in awhile. She used 3 different colors of Crystal Palace Fjord 100% wool. Joann then added her own border at the bottom.

Below is a afghan she made. In the picture on the right it's hard to tell but there is a cat! Each square in the middle has a cat's name to go with the cat picture. What Joann did here was use several different washcloth patterns and then put them together. This is an excellent way to practice different stitch patterns and have something large to show for it.

Here is a basket weave scarf using Plymouth Encore and Crystal Palace Musique. We can tell that Joann likes pom-pom's..

This vest was made with Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. The feel of the vest is sooo soft and the different stitch patterns keep it interesting.

This spring scarf was made with CascadeYarns Luna Cotton. Love the cables. It came out great.

Below is a Rambling Rows Afghan made by Sue. She is attempting to use up all her leftover balls of sock yarn. It's a great idea. We all have leftover yarn we could use for this project. The pattern is from Cottage Creations.



Class reminder: Saturday, May 17th we will be doing a finishing class with JoAnne. Please call ahead to save your spot and remember, there will be homework! (only the good knitting kind) . Yesterday (April 30th) we started the Cable bag. It's sooo Cute! The pattern suggests a 6" circular handle which you can get at Joanne Fabrics if you don't have one already. I have a sewing machine set up here at the shop and will be sewing the linings together for everyone. Linda Miller will be starting a 2 hand 2 color knitting class on MAY 6TH FROM 6:30-8:30.
