AND A SNEAK PEAK AT OUR SUMMER/FALL LINE-UP...
 
We couldn't possibly go away without giving you some things to look forward to when we return, so here's a sneak peak at what's on deck for Summer and Fall:   
      
July/August  
  • Seaside Espadrilles Workshop:  have you been coveting the cool crochet espadrilles that are hanging in our window?  Here is your chance to learn how to make them.  We will provide all materials including the jute to make the soles and your choice of colors for the top.   
  • Introduction to Lace Workshop:  in case you haven't noticed, lace is back in a big way.  From the pages of the Spring/Summer Vogue Knitting Magazine, to the runways at TNNA, to the shoulders of virtually every knitter that you know.  This two-day workshop will teach you the skills you need to knit lace with confidence.

  • Jared Flood Seamless Sweater and Koolhaas Crashcourse:  join another of the industry's best loved personalities for two different workshops.   The first is a lecture on the foundations of seamless knitting and the second a hands-on hat workshop that will teach you how to cable without cable needles.  (Saturday October 23)
