New Knit along and a couple of classes

Hi Everyone:

A couple of classes coming up and a new knit along , all the details are below, please pre register as space is limited.

 Happy Knitting

Lynn

 

 

 New "KNIT-A-LONG"......

 

Starting next Wednesday, November 13th , from 1 pm til 3 pm. (if there is enough interest.)

Please note this is not a class as such . We are all just working on the same project, and can help each other along the way. There is no charge for this, but I do ask that you buy the yarn from me. Of course, you are welcome to use yarn you have bought here in the past.

 

I have picked two shawl patterns, both of which use 3 colours of sock weight yarn. So you are welcome to choose which ever one you want. Let me know and I will purchase the pattern on your behalf, and you will receive an e-mail with the link to the pdf, and it will also go into your Ravelry library. I am having a hard time deciding myself as to which one I will do!!

I think the first day will mostly be spent deciding on our colour choices.  So if you have  a skein or two that you want to use bring them along,and we will pick something more to go along with it, or if you have nothing you want to use, then the sky is the limit as to what you can put together. I think one of the hardest parts will be picking our colours....I have some gorgeous new yarns that are in some spectacular colour ways!

So if you are interested, and plan to attend please let me know.

Lace Shawlette

This class is for anyone who has wanted to try lace knitting. Basic Knitting Skills

required. We will be doing a very simple shawlette. The pattern says “this pattern is perfect for a

first lace or shawl project.  The lace pattern is easy to memorize. “   You will be learning to read chars, start with a

garter stitch tab and do a picot bind off. You will need to bring 4mm circular needles at least 24” long. If you know you are a tight

or loose knitter you might want to bring a couple of sizes to try to see what will work best for you. If you don’t have needles I do have some for sale.

You will also need to purchase yarn for this project which can be bought the first night. This shawlette takes one skein of sock weight yarn.

Here is a link to the pattern, I also have one knit up at the store.
