Knitting News from The Flaming Ice Cube

We must clarify that our Make and Take is not just for baby hats.  Pom poms are a big fashion trend for fall for adult hats.  Michele is making a cute three-color slouchy to be adorned with a pom pom.  more info below...

The Art of Slip-Stitch Knitting book

The Art of Slip Stitch Knitting: Techniques, Stitches, Projects
by Faina Goberstein and Simona Merchant-Dest

 

The Art of Slip Stitch Knitting features 15+ original projects for cardigans, pullovers, hats, scarves, and more showcase the versatility of slip stitch by

 using it as an allover pattern or accent. Discover slip stitch  patterns to inspire your knitting with projects that will add fantastic pieces to your knitted wardrobe. Plus, build your technique with the forty stitch patterns (many of which are reversible) throughout this book. 

 Stretch the boundaries of slip stitch, creating colorwork that is just as graphic as Fair Isle, but much simpler; woven-looking fabrics with linen stitch; and fabulous textures that are sometimes combined with lace and cables! 

Dumpling Bags are Here!
Reversible and hand-washable, the small tote is approx. 6"x6"x14". It holds a smaller project or two, usually two skeins of worsted or smaller yarn. Great for socks, baby sweaters, shawls, scarves, etc. 

Two or three small Dumpling Bags fit into a large Dumpling bag to keep all your projects contained!
