FREE Class next week

Design number 2 to be put on Ravelry this week is Facile. Facile can be converted from a scarf into a cowl, or it makes a lovely scarf. Knit out of S. Charles, Sadé on a 9 needle.

New Designs from our Boutique

We've been hard at work this past week getting our designs up on Ravelry. We have so many more to put up but given how busy we've been at Knitique lately we will be adding our patterns daily to our Ravelry Store.

Presenting our newest Design, Fishnets

Fishnets, is a lightweight cowl, made with a yarn that is perfect for warmer days and soft, cool nights. The alpaca makes a beautiful halo, the linen gives it a crisp and firm hand and the wool provides stability and its own level of softness. As with any yarn with linen, the more you wash it the better it becomes. Our sample was washed 2 times before we wore it and all my customers were amazed at the difference in texture. It could also be made out of Firefly which is a linen rayon blend that will provide the needed drape and softness.
Be sure to check our store often as new patterns will be uploaded daily.

Shapely Tank and Tee Class

This Friday night I will be teaching the Shapely Tank or Tee pattern.  I've been wearing three sweaters this spring knit from this pattern and I get compliments all the time.  The biggest reason for all the compliments is they fit.  The curved shape at the bottom and the short rows make this sweater fit your body perfectly, so it will be figure flattering.  No matter the size of your girls, this sweater will fit you.  I wanted to offer this class so that all of you could have beautiful fitted sweaters that make you feel beautiful and get you lots of compliments.  Class starts this Friday August 9th from 6-8pm, and continues August 16th and 23rd from 6-8pm.  Give us a call or come in to sign up.  (916) 714-7719

Big Leaf Cardigan

 

I was so excited to discover this sweater while at the spring TNNA show in Long Beach. It’s not often that you can find a sweater that looks good on most body shapes.

We would love for you to join us for our upcoming Big Leaf Cardigan Class.  It is both super quick to knit, and figure flattering.

This beautiful spring sweater is going to be a staple in your wardrobe.  It will knit up so fast you’ll feel like you knitted a hat!

Do you still Dream in Color?

     The first 2013 Dream in Color Club kit for January is the Ichigo Tam, a simple, classic tam that’s designed to complement the November Dream in Color Club colorway (we have 4 November kits available)

     The January yarn is Perfectly Posh, a buttery-soft three-ply yarn that’s 70 percent wool, 10 percent cashmere, 10 percent silk and 10 percent kid mohair. There are 360 yards in each 100-gram skein of this sport-weight yarn, which costs $39.99 per kit which also includes the pattern.

       Availability is first-come, first-served, stop by the boutique or call us with a card to reserve your yarn and pattern. Once it’s gone, the yarn won’t be available again.

     When the yarn came in yesterday, everyone was drooling over it.  I'm not sure if I'll be knitting the Tam, I definitely see a hat, and perhaps fingerless gloves for mine.  I know Anna said the yarn speaks to her to make it into a shawl.  Whatever your knitting desires, this luscious limited yarn will surely speak to you.
