Our My First Socks class begins a new session on Saturday, April 17 from 10:30 to 12:30 and continues on April 24 and May 8.

Also on April 17, learn to knit our Bias Lace Scarf. This simple lace motif, knit in self-striping yarn, creates a really impressive finished product. Learn to read lace charts and get the hang of making holes in your knitting from 1 to 3 with a second class on April 24.

On Sunday, April 18 and 25 from 3 to 5, we are offering our Easy Basic Hat class. Learn to knit in the round on circulars and double-pointed needles while creating a classic watchcap.

Learn Something New This Weekend

This weekend we are offering a wide range of classes. On Saturday, we have Drop Spindling from 10:30 to 12:30. This is a great class if you've ever been interested in learning to spin your own yarn. Saturday afternoon, from 1 to 3, we offer our Baby Surprise Jacket class. The Baby Surprise is a timeless design from Elizabeth Zimmermann. It's a marvel of design and a thrill to knit.

On Sunday we have Learn to Crochet for Kids (and Parents Too) from 12:30-2:30. And from 3 to 5 you can Learn to Knit.

If you'd like to register, please call us at (206)706-4197. See you this weekend.

We've added many new classes. Continuing Crochet and Continuing Knitting provide the "next step" for new stitchers. We are offering Learn to Crochet for Kids (and Parents Too). We've also introduced some new knitting project classes including Bias Lace Scarf, Twined Hat and a class on Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Surprise Jacket.

Basic Chic Hoodie

Bonne Marie Burns, the designer behind Chicknits, has a great sense for what women want to wear. Her designs are stylish, tailored and the first thing you reach for in your closet.



Her Basic Chic Hoodie is an easy knit. It's seamless and knit from the top down. It's written with a plain variation (shown above) and a lace variation (below).



You can see examples of both styles in the shop right now. Our lace version, knit by Cathy, is in Brown Sheep Lana Loft Worsted. The plain style is part of our Dream in Color/Chicknits trunk show from now until November 12. It's knit in Dream in Color's fantastic Classy, a machine-washable, veil-dyed, merino wool.

Feeling inspired? There are still spaces available in our Basic Chic Hoodie class. The class meets Saturday, November 7, 21 and December 5, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Give us a call at (206) 706-4197 to reserve your spot.
