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.

balls of yarnWe’re excited to announce our next all-day workshop on Saturday, April 17, 2010, Pine Lake Country Club in Mint Hill from 8:30am until 5:00pm. We’ve planned our classes around techniques and projects to stir your creative juices. We promise it will be both educational and fun.

Imagine taking 3 classes of your choice, including all materials, a continental breakfast AND lunch! We’ve thought of everything, although it may be necessary to bring a set of needles with you for one of the classes.

Bring a friend with you and make this a fun day of learning and knitting. You deserve it!

Please call us or come by to reserve your spot and designate your class preferences. $125 for all materials, instruction and FOOD. What a deal.
