I hope you all have perused the new class list! There are some really lovely projects on that list, and because both Karen and I changed our minds (or decided at the last minute), we were a little late getting our models done, but now that they are finished, `you should come in to see them because they’re great, if I do say so myself.
Karen’s shawl is just downright gorgeous in this gradient yarn from Frabjous Fibers, a perfect marriage between design and yarn. Pardon my thumb, please!
And these are just a few of the pretty gradients in stock:
The class is a wonderfull way to get acquainted with lace knitting, and once you’ve got it, the shawl is a great travel accessory OR project: one ball of yarn, one needle!
I so enjoyed making the vest I’m teaching; it’s intricate, with not one square inch of plain stockinette stitch, and requires concentration and is absorbing and, most importantly, looks just the way I wanted it to:
I used two lovely yarns held together throughout, one a multi-colored lace weight mohair to give a light but warm fabric with lots of subtle color interest:
Of course, you don’t have to do such an oversized version, but this is a casual un-fussy look that I really like.
Deb’s advanced beginner sweater class is filling up nicely, but there are still spaces. She’s delaying the start of the class for a week, so it will start on April 23 (no Easter weekend conflicts.) Take a quick look at all our offerings!
What’s next on my knitting agenda? Something simple in all these gorgeous new shades of Shibui Pebble:
Cannot wait to get started!!
