Next Class: Baby Surprise Jacket

Pam knit up this cute Baby Surprise Jacket from a pattern by Elizabeth Zimmermann (see photo). Why surprise? You knit it all in one piece, you really don't know what you knit and where you are, but in the end it's this adorable baby jacket. Pam decided to offer a class for it which is not in our schedule yet.

Sign up for the class on Tuesday July 13th from 2 to 4 pm - the pattern will be available here. $10 to Pam, including a follow-up 2 weeks later.

The Moebius Cowl Hype

Wow, we had 12 (or more) knitters in the store on the 8th of June and Pam and Inge were busy helping them to start their Moebius Cowl - see also the posting below. All had fun and found that this small project (although a bit tricky) makes a perfect gift. In the meantime the number of cowls (by Inge and Pam) in the store grew, see photo.

We had some more inquiries in the meantime to repeat this class on a Saturday, in Fall ...

If you are interested to participate in a later Moebius Cowl class, please drop us an email and tell us which day of the week you prefer (best for Pam is Tuesday, but we take other days too), which time of day, and which season (Summer or Fall).

Our babies will appreciate this!

Over the last couple of weeks we got new baby yarns and patterns. Wonderful colours sitting on my desk, see photo. After having experienced our newly born grand daughter Chloe for a week beginning of May, even a guy's heart can warm up for cute kids patterns.

Jill Eaton Cottontail

New yarn fron Classic Elite: famed knitwear designer Jil Eaton (Minnowknits) has expanded her own yarn line with the addition of this aran weight cotton. The perfect choice for baby and children's knits, Cottontail is easy care, machine wash and dry, plus comes in a stunning array of bright colours. Use it in any of Jill's patterns that call for aran weight yarn. 90 yards per 50g ball, Cottontail sells for $9.25.

It's great for Sassy Skein patterns, too.

Filatura Di Crosa Baby: Bubble and Bubble Print

This is a novelty yarn at its fines in this fun new chunky weight yarn. A blend of superwash Merino and Polyamid, Bubble features a ladder stitch with evenly spaced tufts of yarn which add interest to your project. Add some fun to your baby and children's knits, or try it alone in a scarf or hat. Available in both solid or variegated colours, the 50g skein has 95 meters and retails for $11.95 (solids) or $12.95 (variegated).
