Mitten Class & Fair Isle Sweater in the works

We had a 2 stitch mitten class today with teacher Melissa Mathay (picture above helping a student). Below are a few of the other students we had today.
Below is Rebecca Koscik, modeling the first sleeve to her Fair Isle sweater made out of Smart Superwash wool yarn, the way her 6 year old son likes to model it. Cute!
Here we can see the detail and work involved. WOW!! We cannot wait till the rest of it gets knit up, but we figure that won't be for another couple of months yet. It'll be ready for next Fall!

New Year's Update

We have some nice Corridale Lambs wool grown pesticide free by our staff member Gale. She has hand picked through this fleece to make sure there is little to no veggie matter (hay, grass, seeds, etc). Sold by the ounce. Stop in today for some of this wonderful, super soft spinning wool today while supplies last!



Gale is also a knitter and felter! This jacket, felted purse and scarf were also knit by her from her sheep's wool. These are available for sale.

Rebecca Koscik has brought in more goodies for you to knit! These two bags were knit and felted using 100% wool Louet Riverstone (green and black) and Magic (blue). The blue one is a backpack purse and the green is a shoulder bag. Becca is a local designer that we charish and love! Pattern is available for purchase.


Here is a side view of that backpack purse. Nice aye?!


Here are three of the new books we have recently received. The Ultimate Knitted Tee is a HOT seller and we only have one left out of the four we ordered!

Need help with a project? We will be more than happy to assist in moving you through the tough spots in any pattern. Class time starts at $15/hr after the first 10 minutes.
