Greetings!   
 
Looking for a fun summer project to take on the road with you during your summer vacation?

Knitted AnimalsAdd to the spirit of adventure by knitting up a few wild animals, like the ones you can find in the single pattern  "Safari Friends" by Knitting at Knoon.

Sue B made the giraffe and lion shown here, plus the zebra that sneaked into the photo with the zebra-striped sock. (below) The pattern also includes directions for an elephant.

Kathleen's "Fuzzy Mitten Lamb" is done up in Alpaca With a Twist. The pattern is a free download via Ravelry. There's a fuzzy monkey, too.


Did you know...?
Next Saturday, June 12 is Worldwide Knit in Public Day. Wherever you go, be sure to take your knitting with you and proudly display our craft! The motto for the event is "Better living through stitching together"

Stitch together with us EVERY Saturday
(in air-conditioned comfort) from 1-3 this summer: We're hosting a series of Sweater Knit-alongs.

Split-neck TThe June sweater is the "Split-Neck T" from Knitting Pure and Simple. Sue B. finished one already, using some wool from her stash. She's starting another one in Ella Rae Classic wool.

Jenni is working her "T" in Artesanal, a textured cotton blend from AslanTrends. The style of this pattern is adaptable to a wide range of yarns for multi-season wear; it's great for all but the very hottest days of summer.

The July sweater will be the "Happy Sweater" from Elspeth Lavold Book 11. Sue L and Kathleen are each doing a different color combination of this striped and textured pullover in Silky Wool by Elspeth Lavold. The pattern offers size options for child through adult.

Happy Sweater (adult)Happy Sweater (kids')

Sweater Knit-alongs are free and open to everyone. Call 262-646-9392 or email with questions.

Be sure to look for our coupons in Clipper Magazine next week!

Also next week: June Classes begin. This month's sock options are featured below.

Toe-up or Toeless
Pedicure Sock Take Your Sock Knitting in A New Direction

You'll learn new sock techniques in these classes, beginning next week:

The Pedicure sock is worked cuff-down, and finished with ribbing. Tues. 10-12, June 8, 15.


 Zebra and Toe-up sock

Summer Socks on Two Circular needles with Jenni: 6-8 Wed. June 9, 16, 23

This sock is worked toe-up and finished with a simple lace cuff.





Both sock samples
use Fixation yarn from Cascade--a cotton/elastic blend that keeps your feet cool but won't pool around your ankles like 100% cotton socks tend to do. The elastic helps the yarn hug your feet.
