CLOUDLINE HAT Level: Advanced Beginner Fee: $30 + supplies

Cloudline is a perfect “first hat” or seasoned knitter pattern. This hat is knit using only basic techniques and is the perfect project for practicing circular knitting (or for whipping up last-minute gifts!). Cloudline’s bi-colored marl fabric is created by holding two strands of fingering-weight Peerie together as you knit. With 45 colors to mix and match, hundreds of striking fabrics can be created, allowing for endless variations and a finished look that’s uniquely your own.

DENIM DUDE Level: Intermediate Fee: $30 + supplies

Denim Dude is a lovely little set for any handsome boy. A written pattern that is easy to follow. This is worked flat on two needles with one seam on each piece. A baby girl could wear this as well, or even better try shades of pink denim. No colour is wrong with this cute set. Friday 1/24, 1/31 11:00 am - 1:00 pm Roz Robbins

SHOULDER FORWARD PULLOVER

This is a good entry level sweater. Patti is knitting hers with Kelbourne Woolens Scout. This dk weight yarn has a gorgeous color palette.

TANG PULLOVER
 Clare is knitting this top down raglan sleeve turtleneck. It will be a nice sweater to transition through the seasons using Blue Sky Organic Cotton Worsted.
|
PARTY TOP
 This cropped, fitted sweater features eyelet details on the sleeves. Merri will be adding this piece to her wardrobe. Hand dyed yarns will work well with this simple design. |
MARTE
 Brooklyn Tweed is a master of detail in their designs. This season spanning garment will be a functional layering piece. Kathy is knitting with Loft, a light and airy fingering yarn from Brooklyn Tweed. |
LARCH
 Larch is the ultimate in comfort wearing and knitting. Worked in the round from the bottom up, it's very nearly dress length, with deep pockets and an ample cowl neck. The simple details of this piece combined with miles and miles of quick-gauge stockinette makes this a soothing knit. Laurie is using a worsted weight yarn. Brooklyn Tweed Shelter or Blue Sky Woolstock are great options.
