This week in classes....

Ruffles and Roses

This is a great project for any knitter and even better to give as a gift. The yarn is an eco alpaca so soft, warm, and comes in all natural colors.
The Rose is what makes this project though. So easy to make and is a great addition to any project. Even if you take the class to learn how to make the rose it would be worth every penny. This is a great rose to add to any bag, or scarf or even on a headband for a great extra something.
Class will be Friday May 27th from 6-9pm and will be $30.00. The materials for this class are two skeins of the eco alpaca and any odds and ends you have in your stash for the flowers as well as a size 9 needle. Please be sure to call ahead to reserve your space (916) 714-7719.

Ez Fair Isle Hat

Ever wondered about how fair isle works? This is a great beginner class into working with two colored yarns at the same time. There is a bit of pre work to do before class this weekend so be sure to start this one early. The class will be this Saturday May 28th from 12 to 3. We look forward to seeing you for this class!

Baby Hats

Next Tuesday May 31st from 11- 1 there will be a beach ball baby girl hat class (featured on the right). This is a great hat made flat with one seam but the yarn is what really makes this hat very cool. Made with one skein of our Bambino Taffy by Be Sweet. This class is a great way to learn some easy lace work as well as easy short rows.

If a baby girl hat isn't what you need to make and you want something for a little boy, we also have a little sunhat pattern (featured on the left). Either one could be made in this class and both are done in the Bambino Taffy yarn. We look forward to seeing you next week.

Free Ruffle Scarf Saturday May 21st

This weekend we have some great FREE classes. We will be showing you how to knit with all of the ruffle yarn we have at the Boutique. This is a great and easy scarf and makes for a great gift. We will have two sessions one from 11-1 and the other will be from 4-6pm. All needed is one skein of the ruffle yarn and an 101/2 or 11 size needle. Please be sure to call to reserve your space we anticipate these classes filling up fast. (916) 714-7719.

FREE Washcloth Class today 12-2pm

Join us on Saturday, May 14th from 12-2 for a FREE washcloth class. This is one of those techniques that looks like it's hard, but is really quite easy. I know I always say that people, but trust me, it's really, really easy.

Be sure to bring US 5 or 6 needles. With the yarn you purchase you'll get 2 or 3 washcloths from it.

Be sure to call us at Knitique 916.714.7719 to reserve your spot. We can't wait to see you.

Qikiuk is here!!

We just recived some really soft and warm yarn called Qiviuk. This fiber is made from the under coat of Musk Ox, because the fiber is so rare and a long process to make this is an expensive ball of yarn. So we are offering a FREE class in June making a scarf. This is a very pretty lace scarf using a size 7 needle with 3mm Swarovski Crystals at both ends. We have skeins of 100% Qiviuk as well as blends with Merino Wool and Silk. The colors are gorgeous and very jewel toned. Come on in and ask us all about this wonderful new yarn.

Ruffles, Ruffles, Ruffles

Ruffles are all the rage. We've gotten a new yarn in that we simply can't keep in stock. This wide webbed ribbon is an amazing ruffle yarn. Simply knit into the top loops to create a wide, glamorous ruffle. We love yarn the self ruffling for scarves, shawls, and trim. Want to see how to knit Lovely Ruffles?

Come on into Knitique and we'd love to give you a quick 10 minute FREE lesson. We double dog dare you!

Correction on the Sock Class this Month

There was a typo in the earlier post about classes. The sock class is actually three sessions not two so the class will be Saturday May 7th from 1-3. The following sessions will be Saturday May 14th from 1-4pm and Saturday May 28th from 1-3pm. Making this class $70 not $50 plus the cost of materials. We are very sorry about the confusion!!! Thank you.

May Knit n Nosh Event!

This Friday May 6th will be our monthly Knit n Nosh event. The event is a lot of fun and is a great way to find new yarns, new projects and meet some really great women. The event will start at 5pm and run till sometime after 9pm. These past few weeks we have been getting in some great new yarns and light projects to show off these great yarns. As spring is kicking into gear and summer is right around the corner some of these great cotton tops and sweaters will be needed for a day on the town or a vacation you have planned.

We can't wait to show off all of these new yarns and projects to you. All we ask is you RSVP by phone, (916) 714-7719 and bring a yummy morsel to share with the group. See you all very soon!
