sweater_dress154933Okay, the sweater looked great in the pattern, but not so great on you after you made it, right? This workshop teaches you how to accurately measure yourself so that all dimensions fit you properly.

You will learn how to ease in your correct measurements and change the smallest details that will make all the difference in the way your garment (sweater, vest, skirt) fits your body.

You will have the opportunity to make a form of your body to take with you for fitting purposes.

This is probably one workshop everyone who knits and crochets should take!

Why continue wasting your time and money on garments that come out either too small or too large?! Once and for all, make your knits fit!

This is one of the options at our Spring Workshop at Pine Lake Country Club in April. Please join us there.

Tunisian Entrelac WrapUsing the Sunset Ruana (pictured) as a guideline, we’ve created a wrap which can be made up much quicker. Tunisian entrelac is a fascinating technique and gorgeously done in our multi-colored yarns.

Whether you crochet or not, this workshop is for you! You will be using a crochet hook, but the stitch appears woven. Lovely!

This project is part of our Spring Workshop lineup at Pine Lake Country Club in April.

GracesLinenPurse015732This lovely bag is knitted in a unique “yarn” which we have never carried before and is new for Spring. Grace is known for her creativeness when it comes to bags and purses and she’s been having tons of fun “playing” with this yarn.

The yarn very much resembles the straw bags we’ve all purchased and love. This photo is not the “exact” purse we’ll be knitting but will give you an idea of one of the patterns possible for this particular yarn. Grace is in the process of finaliziing ours and will provide “the real thing” soon. We all need surprises, right?

This is one of the projects featured in our Spring Workshop at Pine Lake Country Club in April.
