Mitten Love – quick mittens knit from A.S.A.P. – pattern in the store.
I swear that last time I looked up it was the beginning of November! Then it was mid November – now November is gone and the Christmas Season is fully on us!
Are you looking for a quick project to make a fabulous gift? Or some yarn that will practically knit itself? We have some wonderful options! Malabrigo yarns offer some fabulous heavy weights, soft and oh so beautiful Merino. Rasta, Aquarella and Gruesa are all variations on the heavy theme.
This Infinity Cowl/Scarf took only one hank of Magnum.
Madelinetosh has entered the ring with its new A.S.A.P.! I have just finished writing up a mitten pattern that will take only an evening or two to knit!
Very fun – animal hats – she still has a fox one to knit.
Magnum by Cascade Yarns is another gorgeous yarn. Soft and heavy – this is possibly the heaviest wool in the store. Rustic, an Acrylic yarn by Sirday, offers a very quick result as well. Come on in and see the options for a quick knit Christmas!
One customer is well into her Christmas Knitting (name with held until after Christmas)! Her hats are sure to be a hit!
Fiona’s Fingerless Chihuly Mittens.
We love it when our customers share their projects; Fiona has just finished some Fingerless Chihuly Mittens for herself – and is working on a co-ordinating cowl, to go with them. What are you knitting up for Christmas gifts? Or gifting yourself?!
Retreat 2014
Our next Retreat will be held in February 2014. Starting the evening of Friday Feb 21, and running through the Saturday, Feb 22 and Sunday, Feb 23, this Retreat will be all about Brioche or Lace; or Brioche and Lace or any combination of the above.
Retreat Samples – the gold and purple are the colours for the retreat. The big sample shows both the cabled Brioche and the lace, the small sample only the lace.
At the Retreat we will be working with two colours of Fleece Artist Blue Faced Fine (2/8).
Starting from the cast-on Friday evening and moving right through to closing Sunday afternoon this weekend is geared for nothing but knitting fun. Like minded knitters, good food, show and tell and door prizes all combine for a weekend that goes by too fast and leaves wonderful lingering memories.
Yarn kit, snacks and meals are provided.
Spaces are limited so if you are interested contact Lynette or Emily for more information 250-754-0785.
Happy knitting
Lynette
