AN ‘FO’ & A NEW CLASS
Monday, January 20, 2020 – An ‘FO’ & a new class
Two weeks ago, we shared with you our new Wrapped in Lace pattern, a shoulder wrap bordered with a lace design. And, last week we launched our Wrapped in Cables pattern, another shoulder wrap bordered with 3 distinct cables , giving you the choice of cables OR lace; but now you don’t have to choose! Today, we would like to share with you a project that Cathy has just finished and it looks gorgeous on her!! It is a triangle Shawl that combines both the elements of Lace AND Cables together!
May we introduce…
Cathy’s most recent FO (finished object), the Fallen Cloud Shawl, was knit using 3 skeins of Cascade 220. Though her shawl not on display in the store (as she is enjoying it as a new addition to her attire – perhaps you will see her wearing it at the store), we thought we might inspire you with some pictures of her “Fallen Cloud” shawl.
Here are a few more details about the Fallen Cloud Shawl:
Yardage: 549 mtrs of Worsted Weight yarn & 5 mm needles
Finished Size: 180cm/70.9" (long) & 65cm/25.6” (deep); easily adjustable.
“Beautiful cables and lace create an elegant border on this warm & cozy triangular shawl. Worked sideways in a mix of garter stitch, cables and lace in a worsted weight yarn makes it a quick and engaging knit.
You’ll love wrapping yourself up in this warm and eye-catching shawl! The pattern comes in fully written out as well as charted instructions. I hope you enjoy the pattern!” – quoted from Lisa’s Ravelry page
DID YOU KNOW…
The Fallen Cloud Shawl pattern is available as a Ravelry In-Store Download! Just ask at the counter and we would be happy to purchase the pattern on your behalf through Ravelry and have it emailed to you.

“ALASKA” FAIRISLE HAT – Learn the “Two-Handed Fair Isle” Knitting Technique
One 3-hour Session
Cost: $75 (yarn* & pattern included)
Date & Time: Thursday, January 30/20 from 10 am – 1 pm
Teacher: Janet
CLICK HERE to view some of our Class Graduates successful hats!
This is the perfect time of year to knit this beautiful Fair Isle hat! Join Janet to learn the “Two-Handed Fair Isle" method of knitting colourwork. Unlike stranded Fair Isle knitting, the Two-Handed Method automatically eliminates any floats from occurring on the wrong side of the fabric! This is accomplished as the colour not in use is magically woven in with the colour that is in use. Here is the best part….. Your 2 yarns NEVER GET TANGLED UP! Once you have learned the 3 simple steps to this technique, you can use the Two-Handed Fair Isle method on anything Fair Isle; sweaters, yokes, shawls, wraps, cowls, scarves, mittens, hats, you name it!
The Alaska hat is knit in 2 colours of 4-ply Fingering or “Sock” Weight yarn. Choose from two solids or a combination of solids, tonals, or self-patterning yarns. Knitting this hat is very rhythmic and is a nice project that is light in your hands. The pattern will be provided digitally via email and a working copy will be printed and provided for use during class.
Janet has recently revised the crown shaping for this hat, as shown in the picture. The instructions for this alternate crown shaping will be provided in class. All prior students are welcome to this handout – please ask for it the next time you are in the shop!
(* depending on yarn choice, you may have enough yarn to complete two hats, by reversing the colours for the second hat)
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit and Purl Stitches; comfortable working in the round on circular or double pointed needles
BRAND NEW CLASS for Machine Knitters…
CELTIC KNOT TUCK STITCH SCARF ON THE LK-150
One 1-hour Session & one 3-hour Session
Cost: $90 (includes yarn & pattern)
Dates & Times:
Session 1: Saturday, February 1/20 from 10 am – 11 am
Session 2: Saturday, February 8/20 from 10 am – 1 pm
Teacher: Janet
Attention Machine Knitters!!
This striking Celtic Braided Knot Scarf is easy to knit and very wearable! The Tuck Stitch is easy to commit to memory and knits up quickly on the machine. The fabric is then separated into 4 “strips” individually knit so that the centre 2 can be braided into the Celtic Knot and the edge 2 sections are worked in Tuck Stitch. Once the Celtic Knot is completed, the 4 “strips” are re-hung to the machine to complete the final few inches of the scarf. Optional fringe is added to complete the look. To wear, the tail of the scarf is passed over the Tuck Stitch sections and under the Celtic Knot. Choose to wear it over your coat with the knot centered or off of one shoulder, or wear it over your clothes as a fashion accessory.
Rated: All Machine Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of the basics of machine knitting. Participants must have or have access to an LK150 Knitting Machine (to be brought to class)
One can NEVER have too many shawls, can we?!?
