December Knit Along:  Slippers!

This  month for our Thursday Knit Along we're going to knit slippers.  We'll be using the Mukluk pattern from Knitting Pure & Simple (available in both adult & kid sizes), but really, any slipper you want to knit is welcome.  Join me while I attempt to squeeze in a little more Christmas knitting.
When:  Thursdays from 4:00 - 6:00
Dates: December 3, 10 and 17

What is a Knit Along?  I think of it as a casual class...more of a get together of people working on a similar project.   Joining us in the knit along is free, we just ask that you purchase your supplies from Double Ewe.

A Merry Meander

If you missed it the first time, here's your chance!  This shallow crescent shaped shawl is worked from one end to the other.  The shawl begins fairly narrow.  The crescent shape is created by increases for the first half, followed by a section without shaping, and then decreases for the second half.  It includes an eyelet border along the top, a plain section where shaping takes place, a lace insert and a lace edging.  The insert pattern can be a reminder of a pleasant walk along a stream, on a beach, or through the forest floor.
