Happy Holidays from Hillcreek Yarn Shoppe

Greetings!

 

Last Monday we had a great group of elementary students who are awesome crocheters visit the shop.  They had such a great time as we did with them.  We enjoyed a few hours of learning about fiber, the history of crochet, and how to wind yarn.  Everyone enjoyed a turn at that!  Thank you Miss Connie for thinking of us and sharing your students from the Hallsville Middle School with us.

Loreen Olson, was in this weekend visiting from North Carolina.  This "Tuch Shawl" is all the rage out there.  This could be our new Wingspan.  The pattern may be purchased on Ravelry.  You can view many, many examples of this pattern made from various sock and fingering weight yarns that we stock.  She said it is fun and so pretty when completed.

Winspan Class Coming!

This fun experince with short rows has been the favorite of many HYS knitters lately.  You can use any size yarn you like. We have a beautiful example hanging in the shop that Gail Hubbell made with Poems Worsted.  My first one I made with a self striping sock yarn.  You pick your favorite.  Mine was Mini Mochi. 

 

Class is February 1.  Call or visit the store to sign up.  or check out our Website for all the details and sign up there.
