Catkin – A two-color shawl of beauty!
Shawls are all the rage and this one is no exception. It soared on the Ravelry top pattern chart all summer long and is just perfect for fall knitting.
Not for the faint of heart, this shawl has a lot to offer in the way of learning. The designer states it best when she describes it as “ textural, structural,
botanical and modern. It is a union of soft curves and hard lines. It’s a shawl, a wrap, a capelet, a scarf and it’s all yours”. And it has slipped stitches! Yippee!!

Build A Better Fitting Sweater Class
This class is for the intermediate to advanced knitter who wants to build a better shaped and fitted sweater. I am very excited to offer this as many of you have been asking for a complete guide to a great fitting knitted garment. This class will set its own dates and will and be working from a book entitled “Little Red in the City” by Ysolda Teague. The sweater that we will be working from is a classic cardigan worked from the top down, with bust shaping and waist detailing, along with sleeve calculations. The goal of this class is to work through the process of making a sweater fit you and your shape, regardless of size. There will be open discussion through-out class about the how’s and the why’s of what we need to know. The class size will be small and two groups may form based upon student sign up. This class run will run from September through March.
Cost is $125 plus materials for this six month class.
Start date is Wednesday, September 21 at 10:30 AM.
