Going, Going....Gone New Dates

Well I certainly knew that the Glitz and Glamour would be a popular class. Within 3 days of our email 2 of the 3 classes were full with 14 people in the class and 6 on the waiting list. As the phone continued to ring yesterday, I was scrambling to fit in a couple more classes before the Holiday season hits us.

So due to popular, demand...

I've got two more dates that we can fill.

Happy November!

Where's Waldo?

I hadn't realized it had been so long since I'd posted. In my head I've created lots of posts this past few weeks in my head.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks with sending my oldest son off to the Air Force Academy, and my husband having surgery all in the same day. I want to thank everyone for the emotional support, the phone calls, the cards and all the text messages. Without you all this would have been much more difficult.

So much new yarn has come in. Last Thursday we had 500 lbs of yarn from just Classic Elite. We've checked it all in, priced it all and it's in a lovely display sure to be wrecked as you fall in love with this falls newest offerings. Later this week I'll post what's new and some of the beautiful books we have fallen in love with.

See you all on Friday night where we will be hosting our famous monthly event Knit and Nosh.

Booksigning & Trunk Show

We are so excited to announce that we will be hosting a Book Signing and Trunk Show with nationally known designer, Faina Goberstein. You've all seen one of her pieces in the shop, Two-way Beanie. She's also had her work published in Interweave Knits, Ravelry, Knitting in the Sun and is a designer for such well-known companies as Cascade, and Claudia Handpainted. Even more exciting is she's co-authored the book Casual, Elegant Knits. We don't have all the details worked out, since she has an event Saturday night, but we are hoping to have her teach a class earlier in the day on Saturday, September 12th.

One of the benefits of attending the event is you get to see the patterns, touch & see the garments that were created from the pattern as well as try on any garments you choose. We will have a limited amount of space for the event so drop us a line to let us know you are interested in attending. We will be sending out more details later this week on all the details of what Faina and Knitique will be offering.

I'll post more details as well as pictures from her book in the next few days. I need to get permission first. ;o)

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Pssssst....look to the right~

I'm so excited, I was able to put the new classes on the website the FIRST time. Look to the right, fabulous new classes, even before the first. I'll be putting up descriptions and picture later this week.

Call quick as we are filling up fast.

Did someone say what's New?

The Magzines are here, the magazines are here.

The fall magazines have arrived, and can I tell you they are incredible. Cables, Cables, everywhere and tweed. I have always loved tweed yarns. I'm so excited that my fall line up of yarns will blend nicely with the patterns that we are seeing in the current magazines.

We've already ordered the yarn that will work perfectly with the cabled jacket that's on the cover of Interweave Knits. We won't be using the yarn they used, but we've got an excellent substitution, that we think will be even better. We were looking for a yarn that had excellent colors, soft and machine washable. Trish has her color already picked and I'm sure she'll be the first to finish. She's a whiz at starting and finishing projects, and I am constantly amazed at the consistency in her knitting and the beauty of her finished projects.

Come on in today and set your sights on your first Fall 2009 project.

If you are going to the movies today, come to the washcloth class today at 3, or stop by the shop before 530. We will be eating dinner at Kintaro's and then will be going to the 7pm show.

Classes available

The class schedule is up and running.

Okay, you think it'd get easier each month, but it's not. When you only do something once a month, it's hard for it to stick in your brain. So for all your girls and guys out there who can't remember how to Kitchener, I promise I won't give you a bad time, when you need my cheat sheet.

Look to the right, click on the link, and see what an incredible class line up we have. We've got our incredibly successfull All Skills Classes, plenty of Origami Classes, and at the end of the month we are starting another round of Liesl classes. I'm currently making my second one out of the gorgeous Punta del Estes Merino Twist. I can't wait for the other lines to arrive. The owners of the company are so pleasant to deal with. You couldn't ask for more from a small independant company.

We've had so many finished projects coming in the doors. You wouldn't believe how gorgeous the Pleated Tee came out. We taught our first classes in June and they are gorgeous. Each of the original students have finished or are working on finishing their first one, and I have 3 students who have made 2 and are working on their 3rd. The fit, and look is really incredible. When I get a chance I'll upload them to the shop. Didn't get to catch the class the first and second go-round? Not to worry, you can take our All Skills classes and learn how to make this delicous and really flattering top.

Origami Deluxe

I think we have broken the record of wonderful talented knitters who will be making the Origami Sweater designed by Linda Daniels. I have to say NONE of the pictures that you see on Ravelry give justice to the pure genius design of this sweater. At the last count we have 42 knitters making this. It honestly doesn't get any easier. Two rectangles, simple stitch pattern, 4 seams, and voila you get the most cheeky design. Dolman sleeves, scooped back ... delicious. It's what I call Couture Knitting.

We are still placing orders for the kits, you'll have to come drop it, check out the samples cards, and order what works best for you. We've got a card full of beautiful Melange colors (what I would call heathered) and 3 tiers of beautiful solids. Probably about 80 colors to choose from in all. And NO, I'm not exaggerating.

If you'd like to join in on the newest knitting sensations, please stop by or give us a call. We'd love to have you join in for your next "Favorite" sweater.
