    We have three spaces left for the Y2Knit2Gether Event October 25-29 at Heart of the Village Inn in Shelburne, VT. Don't miss this!

    Event pricing includes lodging, meals, two yoga sessions, plus pre-event online knitting workshops, knitting workshops, extensive handouts and yarn for workshop projects.

    June Highlights

    What you may have missed since we didn't send out the June News is the Bamboo Purse Kit Special. The Magic Purse Form from South West Trading Company allows you to design a purse! First, knit the outside, which is quick and easy flat garter stitch. Then assemble the purse form, slip the knitted purse over the form and you have a shapely purse with structure and stability. Knitting and assembly instructions included with form. The finished purse is 10” w x 7” h x 3” d (at base). Add your embellishments to create a truly unique bag!

    Another highlight was the June Pattern of the Month, the Meditation Cushion. The organic and personal nature of a hand knit and felted meditation cushion is unique. Use this for meditation, a floor seat for children or a foot stool. Make it in colors you love!

    Pattern of the Month
    We're taking a vacation from the pattern of the month. Look for information soon about our blog, which will include occasional free or EZ patterns and knitalongs.
    New Pattern - Turns Ahead

    The decreases create the corners for this head- turning square jacket or shawl. Both versions are worked identically up to the final bind off where sleeves can be made by joining. The bottom flaps are optional. Finish the neckline off with I-cord or ribbon.

     
    Yarn of the Month
    If you're looking for a great buy, then we recommend Pearls, a cotton/rayon blend from Cascade. At $4.99 a skein, you're not investing a fortune. One of our most popular patterns, Two-Way Tee (pictured), uses this yarn. You just can't go wrong with this combo.
