HOME AGAIN

Hi Knitters,

Finally back from vacation although my brain still feels like it should be at the shore. Other then family,friends,customers & business, I didn't really want to come back...lol... We loved the Cape and had an awesome time!
OK onto other things: Below are a few things that JoAnne's students are starting. The first picture is a a easy drop stitch scarf and the second is the drop stitch scarf started by Tara. If you want to give it a try you are welcome to come to JoAnne's class Wednesday nights 630-830. Third is a log cabin washcloth made from scraps of cotton that JoAnne made. CUTE!



SAVE THESE DATES: The north Country Spinners guild is hosting a Fibre Fallout 2008, September 26-28th. It will be held in Johnsonburg, NJ. If you would be interested in registering to attend please contact http://www.northcountryspinners.org/ or Jean Sattler jhs13@rcn.com for more info. Several knitting instructors will be attending including Lily Chin & Judith MacKenzie McCuin! Several classes will be going on with these awesome teachers.

Also: The Department for Children of People serving in the Military is in need of knitted mittens and/or yarn to make these mittens. If you would be interested in knitting mittens for this group please knit a child's size pair of mittens and drop off here at Knitwitz during business hours. If you can not get here during business hours please place mittens inside front entryway. Mittens are a perfect project for warmer weather! If you aren't in the mood to knit the mittens you are more then welcome to drop off yarn that someone else can use. We all have yarn stashed that we haven't touched in a looong time. So bring it in!

SUMMER CLASSES!

Hi Knitters, Hope your summer is going well. I can't believe July 4th is tomorrow! Be safe and have a great time. Below are a few pictures of the kids class that has been going on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:30. Kallie has been teaching several girls how to cast on, knit & purl.

Here is Joyce knitting another pair of socks on 2 circ. JoAnne is also finishing her socks with the 2 circ. method.



Here are a few of the afghans from JoAnne's class on Wednesday nights. Each one of these afghans are made with 1 bag of Encore worsted. Buy a bag, get the book for free!



This picture is from Pat's class last Saturday. Ej is eating a cupcake...SHHHHH! don't tell

I found this hat and thought it was great. It's called the Three-way Beret. Check it out! Woman's Day has several cool patterns on their site. Check out the cropped Bolero Vest and the Quick Knit Cap there are 15 different variations on the hat. Remember to check out July's calendar because there are several days we are closed for vacation.
