Each row is cut and tied to the next which creates a fringe as you work. The graphic interest comes from unbalanced, or eccentric chevrons; one side is much longer than the other which skews the fabric off-center, and by mirroring the stitches at the center back, a dip is naturally formed. The pattern is simple yet fascinating due to the intricate colors used in each skein of yarn. Laura Bryant, America's number 1 yarn dyer, has selected a beautiful collection of colors in each kit to create this wonderful shawl. This class includes the kit so you get to pick which colorway you like best. $

8 Help! I have a UFO! Tuesday, Dec 13 2:00 pm 4:00 pm UFO is an acronym for unfinished object. UFOs are projects that have been abandoned in their unfinished state. They could be very close to done or barely started. We all hope those UFOs will get completed, perhaps by some knitting fairy in the middle of the night, but until then bring it into the shop and let us help you on the way. This is a drop-in opportunity for help in answering questions or correcting errors to help you restart your project again on to completion. Pre-registration is required. Please call us at to reserve your spot. $20 fee, but all paid attendees will receive a $20 store gift card towards their next project! Crochet for Knitters Tuesday, Dec 13 6:00 pm 9:00 pm You can knit but you don t crochet? Learn just enough to get by. As a knitter, being able to crochet is a very important skill, and frequently a preferred choice when finishing. Even though you have no trouble holding two knitting needles, don t let the easy operation of holding that single hook scare you. In this class, learn just enough crochet to enhance, fix, or finish your knit project. Learn all about the structure of the crochet hook and what you should know to use one. Learn the tricks of how to single crochet on the edge of your knitting in garter and Stockinette stitch so the edge is never left unfinished, lays flat, and looks even. Even without instructions from your pattern, you ll be able to determine how to start, know how to space, go around corners, and decide to finish a knit edge of your garment, as it might offer a delicate decorative, quicker, functional, or dressier choice when ribbing is wrong. Expand that single crochet skill to other crochet stitches with single or multiple yarns to add your own flair to your throw, shawl, or sweater. Learn how to quickly use crochet to finish cardigans, button and buttonhole bands, space buttonholes, and practice a few very easy buttonholes. In addition to finishing, have that crochet hook on call when fixing common knitting mistakes and mishaps. You won t leave knowing how to crochet a sweater, although that would be nice diversion, but this minimal crochet stuff combined with knitting should be added to your list of talents. All class attendees will receive a free gift! $69 Homework: Three samples of knitting. Use light colored, Aran-weight yarn and US 9/5.5mm needles. Sample 1: Cast on 18 stitches and work garter stitch for about 12"/30cm. Bind off. Sample 2: Cast on 18 stitches and work Stockinette stitch for about 12"/30cm. Bind off. Expect that your sample will curl; you can gently steam it to eliminate some curling. Sample 3: Cast on 18 stitches and work Stockinette stitch for about 4"/10cm. Slide stitches to a holder. Supplies to bring: Bring the samples of homework, scissors, size G and H crochet hook. Bring the yarn the samples were made from and an additional color. 8
