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!

Class starts Tuesday February 26th, and the second class is Tuesday March 12th.  We are offering it in both a day class, 12-2pm, and night class, 6-8pm.  Call us to sign up at (916) 719-7719.

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.
