Tunisian Entrelac Ruana

Sara — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 11:37:35 +0000

Using 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.

Knit-Eat-Repeat

We’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.

July and August Calenders

Grace — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:25:05 +0000

Class schedules for July and August are being prepared and will be posted soon. Please make your reservation as soon as you can for the “Knitspeak 101″ class, July 18th from 9:30am to 11:00am. This is an incredible opportunity to meet author Andrea Berman-Price and learn some invaluable tools for pattern reading. Included in the cost of the class is an autographed copy of her book. All this for $25.00! Other upcoming classes are some 1 day scarf and wrap classes, Entrelac, the Hounds Tooth felted handbag, Mother and Daughter beginner’s knitting classes and Berroco’s “Brea Bag”. Kathy will have a special class on how to line a handbag. Another 1 day class is the Cafe’ Capelet we found on Ravelry. It’s an open weave little capelet/scarf that can be knit in a variety of yarns either for right now as an accessory or in more fall and winter yarns for warmth. Of course, as always, we will be offering beginning knitting and crocheting classes.

August will be “Classes on Demand!” We’ve scheduled Saturday classes as usual but we want YOU to determine the classes. If you have a project that you’ve been wanting to make, but need help, set up a class.If there’s a class we offered and you could not make it at the time, now’s the time. How about a technique that you want to learn, we’ll show you.We have set aside Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays all through August for you to make up your own classes. As always, yarn purchased for classes will be 15% off!
