FLEECE LINED MITTENS
An Evening at Knit One


One knitter described being locked in at Knit One after hours as reminiscent of being at elementary
 school at night when it was supposed to be closed!  Very decadent!

Our spa nights have been so popular that we decided to squeeze one in before the holidays.
 Stacey and Linda just HAD to make a pair of these fun mittens and would love to spend an
 evening with you.  We hope that you can join us for an evening of music, fun, knitting and,
of course, some food.

You will learn to make a mitten and these unique babies knit up in a hurry.
  Warning:  you will become as obsessed as we are!

Sunday, Dec. 7th        5 - 8 pm        $45




**********************
Who wants to make this Coat?  I do
Join us for our Knit-along beginning in January in both
stores.  And, the best news is that you can make
this for less than $100.  Call or email us to find out how.

Extra! Extra, Read All About It!

We have answered your question as to what you would like as
a holiday gift.  How about a one year "gift pass" to Knit One
which entites you to 10% off everything and anything you purchase at
either store, (except classes) for only $50 for the entire year.  And, even better
is that you don't have to show a card because we will keep  your
membership in our computer.  This is the perfect gift for friends, relatives and
of course Yourself!

Hayley is modeling our ever popular Twinkle mohair sweater.  We call this the sweater you can make
for less than $25.  It is a big hit at the North shop.




Rita knit this darling hat.



Karen models a vest knit with Rowan Colourscape, a  Kaffe Fassett yarn and design.





DeAnna and Lauren knitting up some lovely Bee Sweet Magic Balls




My first pair of socks !




Karen and Dawne got busy knitting vests from the new Malabrigo book.
One is knit with worsted weight, the other with bulky.






Dawne is a vest addict.  I can relate  since I hate to knit sleeves.



*********************
Claire created these beautiful scarves.  We both had fun modeling them.
Claire preferred the "anonymous" look.






******************************
Here is the infamous "February Sweater" without long sleeves.
Couldn't be cuter.  Knitted by another "faceless person."  We have the free
pattern if you need it.

Knit One North


Socks (either Magic Loop or 2 Circs)

Do you want to learn how to knit socks? In this class you will learn to knit basic,
all-purpose, cuff-down socks using the magic loop technique (one circular needle) or
 two circulars. The choice is yours. It assumes that you have basic knitting skills.
You should know how to cast-on, knit, purl, increase and decrease. You should also know the
 difference between right and wrong sides of your knit fabric. In the first class you will learn
to cast-on and begin to knit the cuff of your sock--and you will receive instructions
for knitting the heel flap. During the second class you will learn how to turn the heel,
 knit the gusset, and receive instructions for completing the toe of the sock.

Materials required:

Fingering weight sock yarn (400 yards+--approximately 100g for a pair of women's socks)

Needles - one circular size 2 (but if you already have a size 1, it will work as well). The

circular cable length should be at least 32" with a very flexible cable (something like an Addi Turbo,

Addi Lace, Inox Express, etc.). This will not work with a circular needle that has a stiff cable,

or two circular needles--both size 2 (but if you already have 1's, they will work as well.) Cable

length does not matter, but it may be easier if they are two different lengths (e.g., a 16' and a 24').

Stitch Markers

Tapestry needle

Skill Level: Advanced beginner


$50 for 2 two-hour sessions

Saturdays, December 6 & 13  10- Noon
