new patterns

The 2 latest patterns from knitspot just arrived. 
Cornrows (full mittens and hat set) 
Matterhorn (fingerless mitts, hat and scarf set).


I am updating the class list tonight and there should be new printouts available in the box outside the shop by tomorrow.

I had a customer ask a question Sat that caused me to pull out a trusty book.  It is called the book of patterns by Ann Budd.  I love this book.  Basically, it allows you to figure out a pattern for whatever gauge yarn you have.
For example, Hats.  It gives you 5 or 6 different gauge yarns
and then it uses them in size premie to adult male.  This formula style allows you to make a basic hat with any yarn. The book has this same information for other knitted pieces as well.
