Welcome to March at KnitWit Yarn Shop. We have quite a few class offerings for those of you wishing to perfect one more knitting skill before summer arrives!
Tracie will be offering her Entrelac Kerchief class — come learn how much fun entrelac can be while creating a cute kerchief (which also doubles as a cowl for those March winds). Those of you who have mastered the Granny Square in crochet can join Leanne for a fun workshop learning what to do next, how to read patterns, attach borders, and anything else you’d need to learn to confidently try some of those new crochet patterns which are popping up in the magazines. Judy is offering her Northman Mittens once again for those of you who missed the earlier session, or those of you trying to avoid the usual December gift making panic. May brings Karen’s Socks for Beginners class. If you have been wondering what to knit in the summer, the answer is simple: socks. They are small, portable, and once you’ve made one, pretty much fool-proof. And did I mention, they are very appreciated as gifts?
Please find schedule and class details on the Classes web page.
DungarEASE is a new cotton/acrylic blend which knits at a worsted gauge. It comes in many stonewashed hues so just deciding which color to use has you contemplating summer. Their sock weight yarn, Pediwick, is in and it’s made with summery bamboo. Come check out the different colors and feel of these yarns. While you are checking out the new yarns, be sure to take a trip to the Needle Bar. Cubics are now in stock in a few sizes for those of you wanting to take the plunge into the world of knitting with square needles. These are beautiful needles which are really fun to knit with.
Last, but not least, save Friday, May 4, as we will be celebrating our one year anniversary at KnitWit! Stop in for some goodies, some deals, and some fun. The party will be from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m., so you can stop at the shop and then continue on to the Art Walk. We know we couldn’t have done it without you this year, so now it’s our turn to say thanks! We hope you will join us.
