Greetings!    

Although summer continues to swelter, we're starting to Think Fall at knitch.

New Fall yarns are arriving and the class schedule is being finalized for September, October, and November. A sneak-preview of our fall roster includes:
  • Elizabeth Zimmermann's Tomten Jacket
  • The Cia sweater by Louet--a dressy but lightweight jacket in Louet Kidlin
  • The Lacey Shawl--also by Louet, in Euroflax linen
  • Thrummed Mittens
  • Welted Fingerless Gloves
  • And many NEW Sock classes--we'll offer all the basics for knitters tackling socks for the first time, PLUS new challenges for students who want to dress their feet in lace or other fancy textured stitches.
And MANY more!--we'll keep you posted as to when the full schedule will appear on our website.

Arnhild to Return October 2-3, 2010
 
It won't be long until master knitter Arnhild Hillesland
is with us again for another special workshop.

Reversible Knitting is a traditional two-color method for creating a two-layer knitted fabric that has an identical pattern on both sides--but with the colors exactly reversed.

During class, you will learn the mysteries of this technique by making a warm winter headband. You will also learn special cast-on and bind-off techniques that make it appear as if your piece has no beginning or end!

Reversible Knitting Workshop with Arnhild:
Saturday, October 2nd, 1-6pm, and Sunday, October 3rd, 9am-4pm. 


Workshop fee: $130, includes pattern and yarn
