New Yarns… are you ready for Halloween yet?
I bet you all think I am ready to go for Halloween? I know I play this role of the super organized woman really well… but no I am not. It doesn’t help that the kids just now decided they all want to be Spiderman this year - - and Douglas says that I have to make it (imagine a store bought costume for my kids!). So that is on the agenda for next week. I will be sure to post some pictures after Halloween so you can check out my kids all dressed up. If you want to get some good pics of your kids - - Marie is doing a Halloween Day Quick Shoot which we’re calling “Spooky Pics”, although there will be nothing spooky about it. Right now I am finishing a beautiful lace wrap in Nashua Geologie. I love it! But not as much as my Blueberry Metalic Sparkle Clapotis - that is my favorite new accessory. If you haven’t made one yet, you need to. It is a free pattern through knitty.com and here’s the link: http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATTclapotis.html I am happy to suggest some great yarns to make it in!
And for all of you who have been driving me crazy with this request - guess what!? I now carry Spud & Chloe yarns! We have most colors in all 3 weights and a ton of great patterns that go with the collections. For a sneak peak check out: http://www.spudandchloe.com/.
Katie is running two great sock workshops this weekend and next. The first if Magic Loop and the second in Toe-Up Socks. Here are the descriptions:
Magic Loop 101 Want to do things 2-at-a-time? Socks, sleeves, legs and more? Come for this one-time workshop and we’ll get you making two things at once on a long circular. Please bring a project of your choice – socks are a great choice, but sleeves etc. are also welcome. Saturday Oct. 17, 2-4 pm. $15.
Toe-Up Socks Workshop If you’ve got the basics of sock knitting down but want to try something new, come to this one-day workshop. This class will teach you different possibilities for starting a toe-up sock, and will also handle the turning of the heel in reverse! Bring a toe-up sock pattern and materials to work on. Saturday, Oct. 24, 2-4 pm. $15.
Next weekend is another Intenstive Sew weekend if you would like to register for a great class with Casey and more wonderful offerings are listed on our website or print out the attached class listing. Join us tomorrow night for unfinished projects club.
A special thank you to all our new Stitch House followers who we met last weekend at the Irish Heritage Festival in Adams Village, Dorchester. I had a great day and look forward to meeting you at the Stitch House. Check out the class list and join us to learn or develop a new talent.
