Read MoreFall Knitalong Starts September 24
Our fall knitalong, Halite, is a universal sweater — it can be knit in any yarn at any gauge to fit any size! The sweater front features a mitered square that creates a diagonal ‘seam.’ It shows off variegated yarns especially well, but also looks great in a solid color. The back and sleeves are knit in a neutral contrasting color. The back features a second design with four miters. The kimono-style sleeves are picked up and knit from the sweater body, and can be knit to any length. Because the sweater can be knit in any weight of yarn, gauge is unimportant. Just pick a needle size appropriate for your yarn and you’re good. The sample front was knit in Silk Garden Sock; the back in Tosh Merino Light. Likewise, the sweater will fit any size. Just take a couple of basic measurements and you’re on your way. No complicated shaping is involved. The knitalong kicks off Saturday, September 24. More details are in our fall newsletter...
Read MoreNew Books and Magazines
We have a few new titles in the store: Knit My Skirt by Candace Eisner is a collection of youthful and attractive skirts that you can make yourself. Highland Knits is an homage to the wonderful chunky knits featured on the Outlander TV show. It features shawls, capelets and more, many whipped up in superbulky wools. Lastly, although not new, Barbara Walker’s Fourth Treasury of Knitting Patterns has been out of print for a long time. Now it’s back. We have all four of Walker’s treasuries, a must-have encyclopedia of knit patterns.
Read MoreEnjoy Our Free Parking
Many of our customers don’t realize that the store has a parking area. The lot is behind the store, with the entrance off of 83rd Street, and it’s free. You can use any of the spots not marked for a specific business. If you’re taking a class or attending an event, you can also ignore the 2-hour parking limit: Our landlord is fine with our customers spending as long as they need at the store.
