New Knit-A-Long is Curls
Join us as we explore the world of Curls.  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. Use your favorite yarn, and knit at whatever gauge gives you the fabric you like best.

We will meet during our usual KAL / Knit Lab times:  Tuesdays from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm and Thursdays from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.  Come as much or as little as you like.  

There will be a planning meeting to go over patterns, answer any questions, help with yarn selection, etc. on:
Thursday, September 3rd at 6pm and
Tuesday, September 15th at 11am 

KAL, planning meeting, and all support is free to everyone using yarn purchased at The Flaming Ice Cube.  Otherwise, $50.

New Lace Knitting from Interweave
A fresh, modern take on classic lace knitting!

When it comes to stunning lace knitting, there are few names more synonymous with the craft than Romi Hill. Her designs have made by thousands of knitters and her latest creations in New Lace Knitting will have you racing for your needles and skeins of yarn to cast on beautiful, artful, sophisticated pieces.

These 19 garment and accessory designs will reawaken your love of traditional lace knitting by using classic stitch patterns in fresh ways--whether you're creating shawls, cardigans, pullovers, or wraps. Through these pieces, you'll be treated to the incredible versatility of lace: how stitch patterns change in different weights of yarn, how you can use that stitch pattern sparingly or for your whole project, and how little knitterly details make a lace project truly elegant, whether it is for every day or special occasion.

You may be familiar with knitting lace, but this is New Lace Knitting!
peace & deliciousness,
