One Sweater KAL :: Saturday, February 1st ~ 10:30 – 12:00pm

Now that we have decided on the size, color and swatched for our pattern it’s time to cast-on. Are you having trouble figuring out the long tail tubular cast-on? Come into the shop and I will help you to get the edge this pattern suggests for the pretty neckline.

Are you interested in learning a bit of color work? The Chevron Cowl is the perfect first project ~ with only two colors, worsted weight and a free pattern, this will help get us through the last few months of an Iowa winter. Come early if you need help picking out your colors in a worsted weight yarn.

Remember how much fun Friendsgiving was? Well… this is our “it’s only February and I’m sick of winter’ version. Come for the whole evening or for as long as you like.
