Of course we know you can’t resist Sheep & Wool this weekend—who can? But it DOES get crowded and kind of smelly, so when you have had enough, head out to the cool calm of WoolWinders for a glass of wine and some weekend knittin’ programs! Since it is a new month, we have exciting new and FREE programs.

First up, we continue our STAYCATION theme of spring with the Saturday Knit Along of PLACEMATS. These are really fun and practical to make….and they make great gifts for beach houses and dinners on the porches of friends. We will give you the patterns; you can make these out of any worsted weight cotton (LAUREL, SIERRA, ALL SEASONS) and size 8 needles. What an original thing to create, huh? There are four, so we can do one per week and have them done by the end of the month!

And on Sunday, we will be knitting a lovely WINE COZY. Think Wolftrap picnics, family barbecues, or Mother’s Day gift. The only problem with this wine carrier is that you will NEVER get it back if you bring it to someone’s house. And there may be an issue at only making one. Again, this takes worsted weight cotton…and this time you will need size 6 straight needles. We have a beautiful model done by our very own KATHY CEA. We actually have them in stock. Please download the pattern from www.knitty.com so their designers can get paid, ok? We don’t want to make illegal copies at the shop.

As always, both programs are free of charge and run from 2-4 PM. Just give us a call to sign up so we save a spot for you at the table.
