FREE Afternoon Knitting Class - We're making Fingerless and a matching Cowl

Come for an afternoon of Knitting

It seems like we are still in need of hand and neck warming items!!

Here’s a lovely little pair of Ravelry’s favourited fingerless “Susie’s Reading Mitts”




Use our new yarn by Drops – Alpaca and Silk blend
or any other pretty yarns we have on hand  to make these sweet fingerless

How about a matching cowl “Stacked Eyelets”



Both projects have a simple approach and offer a little “yarnover” technique.  
We can help you create a “Picot” edge on the cowl to match the fingerless.

Perhaps a Mother’s Day gift??


Stop in Wednesday April 29th around 1:00pm and we can get you started.

This is a FREE drop in afternoon to learn how to knit these projects

Drop by to pick out your materials so you are ready to start.

We’d love to see you – Mark your calendars and join in the FUN!!

Blocking 220 Superwash

We carry over 50 colours of 220 SW. It's fabulous for children's clothing, baby blankets and any garment you want to have machine washable!!    Cascade Yarns presents: Carly's Helpful Yarn Tips!

Who's tired of the cold winter winds and ready to knit a great Spring sweater?  Well, I think many of us are ready for those tulips and crocuses to show up.  Have you heard about Joji's Boxy sweater line up? These easy fit fun toknit sweaters have been designed in several styles and yarn weights.  Have a  look...  The Boxy was Joji's first design like this. It has a unique construction with interesting details and lots of easy knitting.  Boxy  is a very simple modern sweater, with a very wide body and skinny sleeves. Worked with a lightweight yarn it is very flattering, drapey and stylish!  A little short row section in the shoulders adds an interesting texture to the sleeves.  Directions are given to make a seamless version (worked in the round) or a seamed version (worked back and forth) of the body. The sleeves and the neckband are worked seamlessly in the round in both versions. As per Joji's description.  Then comes the worsted weight knit vers
