A gentle reminder that our winter classes start Saturday, January 3rd—less than two weeks away! Please note that we rarely schedule classes between May and the end of October. I added a second Top Down Sweater class due to demand and rescheduled the Sock class to make room. View the full schedule and register now before spots fill up.
Get a head start: Pick up your yarn and knit your gauge swatch before class begins so you can cast on together on day one.
Mellow Mood Top Down Sweater Class

OR
Mellow Mood Top Down Sweater Class
Saturdays, January 3, 10, 24, and 31 – 11:30 to 1:30 pm
$80 – 4 Sessions plus materials
Cast on and learn all the techniques you need to make your first top down sweater! The Mellow Mood Sweater by Julia Piro is crafted seamlessly using circular needles, and it’s worked from the top down. It starts at the neckline, progressing into a yoke. The yoke is then divided to create both the body and sleeves, which are finished separately. It is a simple yet stylish top-down seamless raglan sweater.
Choose your preferred length, neckline, and fit options. As it’s knitted from top to down, you can try it on while knitting and choose the length that suits your body.
Note - 3 people moved from the 9 am class to the 11:30. Now there are 3 spaces in the 9 am class and 2 spaces in the 11:30. We need 4 to run a class.
Heart Warmer Cowl Knit Sampler Class
$80 – 4 sessions plus materials
Saturdays, January 3, 10, 24, and 31 – 2 to 4 pm
Do you want to learn how to knit lace and other stitches in the round and how to read simple charts? What is more fun to knit than a combination of pretty stitch patterns resulting in an ornamental cowl? Designed to be playful, we will use just one skein of The Fibre Co. Meadow, Heart Warmer is meant to be your go-to neck piece this winter and spring.

FOs and WIPs
Last Friday, I started working on the doubleknit button band on my Confetti Cardigan Mini by Nashwa Sakr for my granddaughter.
It is finished, and although in the photo it is unblocked, it is blocked. It won't arrive for Christmas but it is ready to ship! I used Garnstudio Drops Fiesta.
I cast on the Felted Loafer Slippers by Monique Rae that we will make for the Felted Loafer Slippers Class in February.
I am using one ball of Filzwolle Nr.1 Maxi Color to knit this pair. It is 218 yards (200 meters) of 100% wool in 200 grams so you don't need to hold it double to get gauge using 8.0 mm (US 11) needles.
