The new Vogue Knitting is here and it is full of fabulous things. It is eye candy if nothing else. As is generally the case this time of year the folks at Vogue are featuring lace projects. Now, don't scream and run away at the thought of lace. Technically anything with intentional holes in it is lace. There are several items labeled "Very Easy" that are lace beginner appropriate. Project #13 is a dropped stitch basket weave scarf/wrap that would be fabulous knit in one of the new On Line sock yarns.I have fallen in love with Kristin Omdahl's gorgeous lace sweater (project #1). We don't carry the yarn called for, but we do have some great substitutes and I think this is my next project. I also must make the cover garment - a circular shrug with an incredible center medallion. This would be a show stopper for year round use in Houston.
Come check out the magazine. If the lace intrigues you then we can guide you in taking the classes necessary to master the skills to knit lace (Big Bold Lace is a good place for advanced beginners). I personally love lace and find it the most rewarding thing to knit.
Class News: The Scarf to Throw class originally scheduled for tomorrow (April 11th) has be rescheduled for next Saturday, April 18th from 10-11:30. The class has made and there are openings, so give us a call and come join the fun.
Keep on stitchin' and we'll see you soon.
