Aran Afghan Square of the MonthCome join our new Block of the Month Club. What's that? Well, we are going to knit a Great American Aran Afghan (heirloom) with squares and in each square you will be learning a new type of cable stitch. Not only is this a very beautiful afghan, but it is something you will surely want to pass down to your family for generation after generation. It's getting too hot to knit an afghan! Not this one, as you will only be knitting a small square at a time. Very similar to making a quilt and yet every bit as nice. Make it out of any worsted weight. Many are using Berroco comfort, Cascade Superwash and I’m doing mine out of Mission Falls. We’ve worked out a deal that we can buy it by the cone, which will save in ends to be woven in. Come on in, pick your yarn, pick your color and get started on this heirloom project. We will be special ordering most of the yarn. It will take about a week to get the yarn in.

Steeking Demo FREE
Susan and Sarah will show everyone, that yes, it’s OK to cut your knitting. The world won’t end, and it’s relatively easy to get everything back, picked up and no crazy unravels will occur.
In knitting, steeking is a shortcut used to
knit things like sweaters
in the round without interruption for openings or
sleeves until the end. After completing a tube, a straight line is cut along the center of a column of stitches, in order to make room for an opening or place to attach another piece. The steek itself is a bridge of extra stitches, in which the cut is made, and is usually 6-10 stitches wide. This technique was developed by the knitters of the
Shetland archipelago and is particularly associated with
Fair Isle sweaters, although it can be used for solid colors as well.
Two at a Time Socks
One of the biggest problems that plague some sock knitters is known as second sock syndrome. By the time the first sock is knit, you just don't have the energy to knit another one exactly the same way. Both of these problems can be remedied by knitting both socks at the same time using one long circular needle or on 2 shorter circular needles. We’ve given you 2 weeks in between classes to make the homework easier to do.
