March Madness:

Two Crazy Weeks of Classes! 

Mid-March 2011

Hiya, knitters! 

 

 

 

Here we are--mid-March already!  How about a jump-start to your creativity during these dreary last few weeks of Not Quite Winter, Not Yet Spring?  We've got several classes over the next two weeks--we think there's a little something for everyone.  Don't see something that works with your schedule?  We'd be happy to create a special class or even a private lesson.  Call us at (231) 228-2800 for more information.

  

I'll be back at the end of next week with a few tidbits, including:

 

 

 -New!  A Frequent Customer Benefit Program.  (A little thank-you for being such big supporters of the shop.)

-Yarny Updates!  (What's on the docket for spring.)

-News on our new website.  (Yes, real progress!)

 

  

Scroll down to the bottom of this email for a little extra well-wishing....come see me soon!

Have you always wanted to learn how to knit for yourself or your friends?  Take the opportunity to learn how satisfying this portable art form can be.  No previous knowledge is required-just pull up a chair and we'll get you started.
 

One 2-hour session, $30.00. 

Materials included.*

 

 

Learn to Knit: Session Two

Saturday, March 19th

1-3 p.m.

 

Okay, so you can cast on, knit, purl and bind off.  What's next?  This session will be devoted to increasing, decreasing and learning to knit in the round.  After this session, knitting a hat or a pair of mittens would be the natural next step.

 

One 2-hour session, $30.00. 

Materials included.*

 

 

Thrummed Mittens

Tuesdays, March 15th, 22nd & April 5th

12- 2 p.m. 

(skips a week)

 

Thrummed Mittens

 

Thrummed Mittens (Interior)

  

Thrummed mittens are the perfect project for the fiber enthusiast--you get to incorporate both yarn and fiber into the same project! Not unlike "plain" mittens, these hand warmers are made by tucking little tufts of spinning fiber into your knitting so that when you stick your hand inside, it's like a warm, puffy cloud!

 

Three 2-hour sessions, $45.00. 

Materials not included.*

 

 

Socks!

Wednesdays, March 16th, 23rd & April 6th

4-6 p.m.

(skips a week)

 

Ever wonder why it is this project is so popular with knitters these days? They're fun, they're portable, they're relatively inexpensive....in our minds, they're the perfect knitting project. Once you've braved socks, there's nothing you can't knit!

Three 2-hour sessions, $45.00.
Materials not included.* 

 

 


Baby Booties

Thursdays, March 17th & 24th

10 a.m.-12 p.m.

 

The Littlest Elf
 

Be the hit of every baby shower with these precious hand-knit classics--with a twist.  Choose from a wide selection of sock yarns-variegated, self-striping or solid colors-whatever your choice, you'll be sure to impress the new mom.  A Wool & Honey original pattern.
 

 Two 2-hour sessions,  $30.00.

'Gretel' Cabled Hat

by Ysolda Teague

Fridays, March 18th & 25th

12-2 p.m.

 

Gretel Beret

 

Gretel Beret (back view) 

 

 The Gretel hat is a beret featuring a lattice cable pattern worked in a worsted-weight yarn.  The pattern is given for three different styles to create a traditional fitted beret shape, a slouchy snood-like shape and a style somewhere in-between the other two (pictured).  Put your knitting skills to the test--you'll learn a tubular cast-on, how to read charts and to cable without a cable needle!

 

Two 2-hour sessions, $30.00.

Materials not included.*
