Teddies for
Tragedies:
Those that knit this little critters for children
undergoing surgery in underdeveloped countries were able to
make a family of more than 30 ! They were made with love and
surely are now being hugged with love....

Knitting ER:
If you ever need help
with a project , we are more than willing to give you the
attention needed as long as we aren't busy with
customers or store "business"...
Sometimes all it takes is a quick "look-see" and we can get
you back on track. However, something that may take more than
5 minutes may warrant an appointment. Call the store to
check with us... |

Knitted, Felted Clogs
Friday, May 2 and Thursday, May 15
6:30-8:30 pm
Liz Cassidy, instructor $30 fee
You’re
going to LOVE these clogs/slippers! Knit them on size 13
needles (fast!) and throw them in the washer to felt. The
sole is knit in such a way that it’s nice and thick and
you’ll use some neat techniques to form the shapes,
including increasing/decreasing, short-rowing and more.
Sizes range from ladies’ small to men’s large. Uses 500-720
yds. WW yarn, depending on size chosen, and
two circular needles, size 13x16” and 13x24”. Come see our unfelted
and felted models in the store.

2 Socks on 1 Circular Needle….at the same time!
Thursday, May 22 & June 5,
6:30-8:30 pm $30 fee
Deb Guard, instructor
Get a
pair of socks finished at once with this imaginative
technique. Deb has her own version of “the magic loop” that
she will guide you through and you may never go back to
DPN’s again! And no one will be asking, “Where’s the
other sock?” Students should have made a sock before
and feel comfortable with basic sock construction.
Requires 2 balls of Fixation, one 40" or 47” (Deb prefers
47") sz. 4, 5 or 6 (to get gauge) needle (Addi
Turbo’s are highly recommended for their relaxed cord and
smooth join).
