Things are heating up!

Ok, I admit it, there was a time in my life when I thought the last thing you would find me doing in the summer was knitting.  Wow, I must have been overcome by the heat.  Summer is the PERFECT time to pick up needles or hook and create something amazing.  There has never been a time when the selection of fiber and color has been more exciting.  Cotton, corn, soy, bamboo, linen, silk; all lovely, cool fibers that work up beautifully.  And classes?  Our class schedule has something for everyone, at every knitting level.  Here are a few of the classes starting in the next couple of weeks:

Tie-Dyed Boxes sweater.  Thursday, May 17 from 1 to 3 (4 sessions).  This is the perfect summer sweater.  Knit using several colors of cottons, the end result is eye catching and comfortable.

Crochet Granny Squares, Saturday, May 19 from 1to 3.  Granny squares are making it big this year.  They are all over the internet in various forms and colors.  Roxanne, our amazing crochet genius, would love to help you discover your inner granny square. 

Lucet Braiding, Tuesday, May 22 from 10 to noon.  You really have to see this to fully appreciate it.  Lucet braiding creates a beautiful cord that has 101 uses.  One customer purchases sock yarns and creates colorful lucet braid shoe laces for her husbands work boots.  How cool is that?

You can check out the complete schedule here.  Just click on the Unique Classes link.  Many of the class samples are completed and available for you to see at the shop.  Some classes do fill up qquickly, so feel free to give us a call.  We can take your registration over the phone!

Berroco has sent us an amazing trunk show with some particularly lovely summer pieces.  I'm drawn to Tamara (shown at right) which is a free pattern on their website.  Come in and see all the trunk show selections.  They will be on display along the back wall until May 25th.
