We’re offering summer knitting camps for kids. Two sessions, one to learn to knit and one for kids who can already knit. Both will meet from 9 to 11 am, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. That way there is time work on projects between camp sessions. I Can Already Knit will make a felted holder for a cell phone or I Pod. These camps are for kids entering grades 5, 6 or 7.
And for older knitters there are Teen Knitting Nights- for anyone entering grade 8 and above. From 6 to 8 pm, on four Monday evenings.
There are links to registration forms, with all the dates, on the store’s home page.
There are a couple of sweaters on the needles at the shop.
Renee's Sweater
Renee started her top down raglan cardigan in a class- Start Your First Sweater. She’s finished the yoke, and wanted a little supervision to set aside the sleeve stitches and get started down the body of the sweater.
Sweater with Pattern
You can see the raglan “seams” in her sweater, and the pattern. The Pure and Simple patterns are well written, nice for beginners, and have lots of potential to personalize a sweater. The yarn is Berroco’s Ultra Alpaca.
Arlene is in the midst of a purple sweater with a fair isle yoke. Here she’s working on both sleeves at one time. Many knitters like to do two at once- you can make sure taht the increases or decreases match.
Arlene's Sleeves
Both sweaters will be ready for fall.
