May Flowers Classes

Book of the Week
 

For those just starting out or veteran knitters, this week's featured book will get those needles clicking. Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Knitting is a comprehensive guide that covers all the basics, from the history of knitting, tools, and materials, to how-to instructions for 164 stitches and stitch patterns, with tons of photos and diagrams to show the way. There are chapters on color knitting, intarsia, knitting with beads, felting, lacework and applique.

 

Includes instructions for both right-handed and left-handed knitters, with narrative directions and symbols to make learning easier. Contemporary projects by today's top knitting designers are suitable for a variety of experience levels and include a man's vest, a baby's dress, a beautiful reversible cable wrap and decorative pillows. Koller has had 2 other bestselling Encyclopedia volumes (needlepoint and crochet) and this one has 'bestseller' written all over it.

 

Encyclopedia of Knitting is a must have for any knitter's library and will definitely inspire you to try a new technique or stitch. Stop in this week and pick up your copy at 30% off the 24.95 list price. Happy Knitting!

 


 

Shawl Season
With the warm days and cooler nights, a shawl is the ideal accessory to have!  We have gorgeous yarns and even more beautiful patterns that range in skill levels.  In fact, check out this pattern on Ravelry.com; 
COLOR AFFECTION..http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#query=color%20affection..I am almost finished with mine and it goes very quickly because it is ALL knit! It would be pretty in Madeline Tosh DK which we currently have in stock or some of our silkier yarns.  The beauty of this pattern is the multitude of options!  We love to help with color combinations!


We hope to see you at Girl's Night Out or the Yarn Crawl, or even better?  BOTH!  

Pam WILL be knitting this Monday!  Bring your projects and take a seat!  No reservations required from 8:00 - 10:00! 

Don't forget that we will close at 5:00 this Wednesday, BUT we will be open until 9:00 on Thursday!
