NEW COTTONS
04.21.2013
Who wants to have a hot wool sweater or blanket on their laps in amazing warm weather like this? Just in here at the shop are cool new cottons and linens, perfect for spring and summer knitting. Check out our class schedule too for some great summer knits using these yarns. The Vitamin D cardigan or the Gemini top would look beautiful in a bright cotton or drapey silk. Check out the classes here.
HABU COWL KNIT-ALONG
01.15.2013
There are lots of good reasons to come to our Habu Cowl Knit-Along tomorrow night. If you bought a Habu Cowl Kit during the sale and haven't started it yet, this is the perfect opportunity to talk about color before you get knitting. If you've ever twisted your knitting while joining it in the round (and with 200 cast-on stitches to keep straight, it can be tricky), let us help! Sometimes the best encouragement to finish a project is to knit it with a friendly group of people - it can be great inspiration. Join us Wednesday, January 16th and 30th from 5-6 p.m. in making this simple, elegant project. Please call the shop to reserve your spot.
FUR AND FELT PILLOW CLASS
01.12.2013
This fun pillow will knit up so quickly! After the knitting is done, just sew pieces of felt together to form a backing, and hold it all together with a beautiful set of buttons.
There are lots of possible color combinations!
Class to make this pillow will be held Sunday, January 13th from 2-4 p.m. We have a few spaces left, so please call the shop to sign up!
WORLD WIDE KNIT IN PUBLIC DAY 2012
06.18.2012
We started WWKIPD this year with a visit from our alpaca friends from Canzelle Alpacas, a ranch in Carpinteria.
More and more people came to knit, spin and crochet! There were lots of other things going on too, such as...
... making felted bracelets at the felting station...
... chocolate sampling with Mike from Twenty-Four Blackbirds Chocolate...
... and yarn bombing!
We'd also like to thank D'Ann Lawson for working so hard giving everyone wonderful chair massages, and Culture Shock and Sugar and Salt Creamery for their delicious food and deserts. And it wouldn't have been any fun without all the people who showed up to celebrate with us!
