Happy Halloween

We wish you the happiest Halloween filled with wonderful memories, Halloween Candy smells wafting up to your nose, and little ghosts and goblins that bright delight to your knit night.


It's not too late to start knitting pumpkins of your own. We will be hosting our absolute last pumpkin class this year, on Tuesday, November 1st from 6-9pm. Not to worry, there is no pre-work, it's quick, fun, and a perfect addition to your holiday decor. Even better, you'll be perfecting your double point work. Pumpkins can be used as a decoration from September through November so this makes a long lasting decoration.

Please be sure to call our Hip Knit Boutique at 916.714.7719 to save your spot, they sure won't last long.

At last count, Joan my prolific pumpkin maker has made at least 15 pumpkins.

When You Need a Little Help From a Friend


All Skills Knitting Clinic

A new series of All Skills Knitting/Crochet Clinic starts next week. This is one of the most popular classes in our class line-up. It's been so popular we've had to add another day of classes. We consistently have people sign up for months at a time. I believe when you are in the shop on a regular basis and you have 2 hours of devoted time by a fabulous teacher you become a much better knitter. You are willing to try new projects because you have the safety net of having someone help you and fix your mistakes.

In September we will be offering the All Skills Knitting/Crochet Clinic four days a week.

Wednesdays 12-2pm September 1,8,15,22&29 $75.00

Thursday 6-8pm September 2,16,23&30 $75.00

Fridays 12-2 pm September 3,10,17&24 $60.00

Sundays 1-3 pm September 5,12,19&26 $60.00

If you sign up for the entire month you get the discounted rate as shown. You are also welcome, if there is room in the session to sign up for individual classes which are $20.00/2 hour class.

This is a class that fills fast, especially with the Holiday gift-giving season right around the corner. Be sure to call us at Knitique 916.714.7719 to reserve your space.

Come Nosh and Knit with Us Friday 5-9pm


With the start of the Fall weather, it's time to get out your knitting, and come join us for Knit and Nosh this Friday night from 5-9pm. Bring a dish, drink, or dessert to share, and join our community of knitters. With all the new Fall yarns coming in you are sure to be inspired.


This year knitting is continuing to thrive. Scarves by the dozens are being made. Most have a detailed stitch. Patsy one of our daily knitters, just finished a Basketweave made out of Autumno, a gorgeous self striping wool blend. Quick simple, with just enough patterning to keep you awake. Now she's off making a Scarf from Scarf Style using Plymouth Sinsation. It doesn't get more luxurious then this. Let us help you find a project, perfect for your needs, so you can get a jump start on your Christmas Knitting.


One of my favorite Christmas gifts is a hand knit washcloth and a bar of handmade soap. In honor of this, we've got another FREE class for you to take. You read that right FREE. Come into the shop, pick up a schedule and see how quickly you knit up a half dozen of these babies.


We've been keeping Trip very busy with loads, and loads of New Lines, and New Companies coming in this week. Plus we've brought in a new line of Bamboo needles that go down to a 9inch circular. It definitely takes some getting used to but let me tell you, you can almost eliminate double points with these babies.
