Knitting News from The Flaming Ice Cube

May 20, 2015

This Saturday from 1 - 3 pm is our 'Fixing Mistakes' class. Gain confidence when you learn how to handle the inevitable! We will go over tinking, frogging, laddering up, laddering down, changing a knit to a purl and vice versa, what to do with an unexpected yarn over, and much more. There is a small swatch to knit pre-class. You can call The Flaming Ice Cube at 330-726-4766 or register online.

The UV changing yarn Abracadabra is back in stock. The yarn changes from cream to either vibrant pink or purple when is is exposed to sunlight!

KAL Update

Thank you to everyone participating in our new Tuesday morning and

Thursday night Knit-A-Long! The KAL is more popular than we ever thought. It is so exciting to see everyone making progress on their shawls and comparing colors and yarns along the way. Some participants are almost finished! The next shawl we will be knitting is Lycopod (that's it on the cover). It using the same techniques that we learned for Cinder, so there's no need for a new class. The idea of the KAL is to knit at whatever pace you like - there is no time limit!

If you are interested in joining the KAL, give us a call at 330-726-4766 or stop by any Tuesday morning from 10:30 - 12:30 or Thursday evening from 6 - 8 to see what it's all about. You can begin with Cinder or jump right in with Lycopod. If we have a number of new attendees who would like a class, we'll be happy to schedule one.

New Curls Book

Curls are marvelously flexible, wearable wraps that work with any weight of yarn, can be knit at any gauge, and look beautiful at any size. Knit them small and wear them as a cowl. Keep going to make a scarf. Do a bit more, and you've got a shawl. They form a wonderfully curved shape that drapes beautifully around your neck and shoulders and can be worn in lots of different ways.

peace & deliciousness,
