We’ll be having a FELTING WORKSHOP on Saturday, April 13 from 3-5pm in the store. Lauren Loeffler will be our instructor. All supplies and materials will be included. Cost is $45 for the class. This little gnome is representative of he type of creature we’ll learn to create. Lauren has taught with us before and is very experienced with beginners — so all are invited, even if you’ve never felted before. Sign up in the store. We have seats for six participants.

Have you ever tried Tunisian crochet? It isn’t exactly crochet or knitting, but rather a cross between. It uses a long-tailed crochet hook but you put a number of stitches on the hook for a row, rather than a stitch at a time in regular crochet. You work back and forth down the row to form both a forward and a return pass. Classes will be held for 90 minutes May 2, 16 and 30 to learn a variety of stitches, including simple, knit, purl and smock stitch. More information will be included in the April newsletter. Previous crochet experience not needed.

Who doesn’t love a spring cardigan? You can select from a number of great cardigans on Ravelry, but this one from designer Megan Nodecker is especially fun, called Maema. It doesn’t require buttons, is knit in one piece and uses a very interesting Honeycomb Brioche stitch. But don’t let that word “brioche” scare you off. It’s much easier than a two-color regular brioche. Whatever pattern you select, join us on Wednesday evenings and get a summer sweater just in time for July events
