Beads On The Go

Sara — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 11:29:44 +0000

Those of us who’ve knit with beads know that you “usually” have to thread the beads before you begin knitting. No more! Learn how to add beads as you go with this darling knitted bracelet made with metallic yarn. You’ll want to make more for gifts. A fast fun project that’s beautifully finished.

Come to our Spring Workshop at Pine Lake Country Club to get started.

Workshop Project: Summer Purse

Sara — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 11:23:13 +0000

This 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.

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

The Art of Seaming

Sara — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 19:01:02 +0000

It’s not over ’til the seaming’s done! And there are so many ways to seam a garment! A 2 hour class is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 26th from 1pm-3pm which will cover the Mattress, Kitchner (grafting), 3 Needle, I-Cord, and crochet seaming methods. You will need to knit in advance four 4″ swatches in stockinette stitch, and please don’t bind off any of your swatches. Also, if you have any finished projects which need to be seamed, bring them with you and we’ll get them finished!
