The World’s Simplest Mittens by Tin Can Knits can be knit in almost any yarn weight. This free pattern is a great first mitten. If you know how to knit, purl and join in the round then this is a class for you. I made this pair with the Plymouth, Baby Alpaca. An incredibly soft worsted weight that will keep my hands warm on the cold Iowa days we know are ahead.
January 9th at 1:00pm. Class is free without materials.
Stop in the shop or call to sign up. Space will be limited for this class.
What will your first project of the year be? Will it be a knit or crochet? Will it be for you or to gift to someone special?

We just received some gorgeous hand dyed knit kits from Handspun Hope. Each kit (Odette cabled headband & hand warmers and the Chantal hat & cowl) comes with the yarn needed to complete your project, adorable cow horn stitch markers, and a wax print drawstring bag to keep everything together.
The yarn is a lovely Merino/Angora blend in worsted and bulky weight. Making these projects quick knits ~ giving you plenty of time for wearing before the Iowa cold is gone.
