For the
adventurous knitter! All levels of expertise . . . yes, even
beginners! Knit a luscious afghan while learning many new techniques
(cables, Fair Isle, intarsia, lace, etc.) Complete one square per
week (each square uses one skein), nine to twelve squares per
afghan. We have many ideas for a "square at a time" throw or choose
your own patterns. This is an excellent way to learn various
knitting techniques while completing a beautiful, useful item.
Choose your yarns and we will hold them for you until you need
them. |

knitters. Knitting a raglan pullover or cardigan from the neck down
on circular needles means no seams to sew! This type of sweater is
knitted "all in one." The sleeves are included in the main body of
the garment so there is minimal finishing involved. There are many
patterns available for this method (Cabin Fever and Pure &
Simple, etc.) |
