WATERFALL BEADED SCARF
Jane Davis has designed another stunning scarf with worsted weight yarn and beads. Big surprise, more beads! I already have the yarn and beads in stock so you can do some one stop shopping. This is one of the simpler ways to knit with beads; if you know how to knit and purl you can make this. The beads will need to be strung before class so please come in early to pick your supplies. The pattern has detailed directions for grafting the two sides together and you can always come in when you finish both sides for some hands on help.

FETCHING
These charming fingerless mitts make wonderful Christmas presents. From Knitty.com “The cables hold the gloves nicely at your wrist and across your knuckles, and are excellent for keeping you warm yet unhindered while knitting, typing, or enjoying a coffee at an outdoor café. If you have never tried knitting cables before, this would be an excellent project to start with.”

FUZZY FEET
Description from Knitty.com: “These slippers are made by knitting a pair of gigantic and I mean GIGANTIC! socks at a very loose gauge, then slowly felting them either in the washing machine or by hand to a custom fit.” They are a great way to learn how to knit socks, without having to use tiny needles. It’s a quick knit and most mistakes you make will disappear in the felting process.
