Summertime, and the knitting is easy!  It’s good for the soul to spend an evening out on the deck with a pair of socks or a shawl in progress, or to take the spinning wheel outside in the cool of the morning and let the wool slip through your fingers as the world wakes up. Our class schedule is packed full of wonderful new things to learn this summer! Learn how to knit lace, create a hooked rug masterpiece, discover a new spinning technique, or get a head start on your holiday knitting. This summer we’re bringing back our kid’s knitting classes. Give your children a gift to last a lifetime – teach them to knit. (But be sure to hide the good stash first!) For those of you planning ahead to winter knitting, we’re offering two great mitten classes. And if you’ve always wanted to learn to spin but can’t make it here for our Saturday morning classes, we’ve created a new beginner spinning Sunday workshop. We’ve gotten some great new cotton and linen blends in for the summer, so stop by and check out what’s new in store!
As always, feel free to come in for help, a nice chat, or just to sit and knit for a bit. Happy Knitting! Karen, Linda, Sarah & Van |
