DON'T PUT YOUR WOOL AWAY YET!

photo-357   This past weekend the weather was so lovely with the sun shining and the temperatures in the sixties so I bought a bouquet of lovely spring daisies to brighten up the store. TODAY, however, you can see that while the weather has taken a drastically different turn of events, rest assured that our daisies still prevail and it is warm and spring-like INSIDE our cozy little knitting shop! Mother Nature is just sending us a reminder that it isn't time to put away your wool yarns quite yet, lol!

CAUGHT IN THE ACT!

photo-355   Today I was caught in the act of knitting in public! While waiting for yoga class to begin this morning, former staff member Lisa Twomey, caught me working on a sock at the gym! Small world!  I thought it would make a funny pic op so, since Lisa wasn't in this class, I asked the cool young woman on the mat next to me to snap a quick photo so I could share with you the truth of the matter which is: I am always knitting!! And remember, friends, knit loud, knit proud!

What better way to ring in March than by taking charge of your knitting! And what better way to take charge of you knitting than with TWO NEW PROJECT/TECHNIQUE CLASSES at WOOLWINDERS YARN SHOP? Join us on SATURDAY, MARCH 1ST for one or both of these great new classes: TOE-UP SOCKS and COMBINATION KNITTING! First, the morning starts out with TOE-UP SOCKS with Terry Cammack. Join Terry and let her help you to take your sock knitting to the next level while you learn Judy's Magic Loop Method of casting on! Whether you are already a veteran sock knitter or just beginning, there are few things more gratifying to a knitter than a finished pair of well-knitted socks. Socks are fun to knit, comfortable to wear, make great gifts, and are cost efficient for your stash. And now, knit the perfect toe every time when you knit your socks from the toe-up!
Date: Saturday March 1, 8 & 22
Time: 9:30-11:30 AM
Cost: $80/for all three sessions
Then, spend the afternoon learning COMBINATION KNITTING with Suzy Roy. Combination knitting is a method of flat knitting which combines both elements of Western and Eastern knitting techniques. Whether you are currently a combination knitter who often gets frustrated following traditionally written knitting patterns or an experienced knitter who would like to learn a different knitting style with an eye towards increasing your speed, evening out your tension, and reducing wrist pain,this is the class for you!
Date: Saturday, March 1st
Time: 12-3 PM
Cost: $55
