Knit-Alongs

We love to knit and we love company, so we schedule many knit-alongs.  Usually, knit-alongs have a theme, or are centered around a specific project.   Because they are social gatherings and not classes, we'll list the skills necessary for each project.  They are always free, and you are welcome to bring other projects to work on if you wish.  Copyright rules usually do not allow us to make copies of patterns, so we ask that you own, purchase or print the pattern you will use.

KNIFTY GIFTY KNIT-ALONG
Thursdays 12-2 

Join us on Thursdays from noon-2pm and *knittle away at your gift list.  Each project in the series takes just a few hours to complete.  Think of this as free coaching sessions to enable you to get your gift knitting done in time for the holidays! We'll get together each week with inspiration to keep your fingers busy. The knit-along is free to attend.  

*knittle (verb) to periodically spend small increments of time knitting, thereby whittling away at a larger goal, such as a major project or the completion of many small projects

December Schedule:

Thursday Dec.9, 2010 12-2 Center Row Lace Headband

A similar headband was spotted recently at an upscale New York City craft show for $45. You know what you can make it for! (hint-uses one ball) What makes it so special is that it can also be worn as a neckwarmer http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pico

Thursday Dec. 16, 2010 12-2 "Lost Earring" Knit Cowl

It's crunch time now, but don't panic because it's likely you'll  made this easy cowl in one sitting!  Use bulky weight yarn-alpaca is good.  If you have less than a ball in your stash it's probably enough to make this. 
Find it on Ravelry under "Pico"

Thursday Dec. 23, 2010 12-2 Triple Twisted Drop Stitch Scarf  This scarf is made with an easy to learn stitch (If you can cast on and knit a stitch-you can make this scarf).  It works best using a very bulky yarn, or even 2 bulky yarns in different colors held together.  You can start it on the 9th and have it ready to wrap by Saturday-it's that fast!  If you have a skein or two of bulky weight in your stash, bring it.  One skein of each of 2 colors makes a good sized scarf.
