Dates: October 30 and 31, 2006 (Monday and Tuesday).
Location:
Classes: Monday AM: Mitred Knitting -
"I have completed quite a few designs in Trendsetter yarns, using Mitred squares. Mitre squares take garter stitch into amazingly wonderful and colourful creations, by simply working colour stripes. Technique wise this teaches the basic of picking stitches and a simple decrease, I also teach how to work ends into the wrong side of the garter, keeping colour joins under control. These designs vary from the Mitre Vee Capelet to an A line Coco Jacket, or the Coco Throw. I teach this class by knitting a small purse."
Monday PM : Textured Knitting - "I design my classes to take knitters from the basics into either colour or texture. Textures are moss stitch to basket stitch, bobbles & bells to cables. This helps new knitters to understand knitting, count rows and stitches, increase and decrease with bobbles, working from both written instructions and graphs. The quicker and more experiences knitters who are speeder will also work ‘traveling stitches’. I apply this term to Aran stitches when a cable needle is used to move knit stitches across reverse st-st, forming zig zags and diamond patterns."
Tuesday (All Day): Intarsia
"I love Intarsia, this is for the lovers of colour ready to step into an adventure. This can also be called picture knitting, using a length of yarn per area of colour, unlike fairisle when the yarn is worked across the back of the knitting. Students will learn techniques from joining yarns, colour joins without holes to following graphs. We also cover the fairisle technique of carrying and weaving in the carried yarn, as this same technique allows us to position our yarns for Intarsia. I use a lot of Intarsia in my knitting kit collection, learning the basic principles allow knitters into a whole new world!"
The Monday classes will be either 3 or 4 hours each depending on the size of the class. Intarsia is a 6 hour class. Jane is known for her fit and design and all of her classes have information on these topics as well. There will be no more than 18 students per class. Skeins classes usually have 30 or more students and they are more expensive!

Robin is our winner of this first contest from Ewe Knit Kits & Yarn. This is Pat and she picked the lucky winner of a beautiful Sweater Kit here last evening! We had about 50 entries. Some even did research to find out that Peggy's Cove is in Nova Scotia. It's a beautiful fishing village outside of Halifax, the nation's capitol. We visited there 38 years ago and went back a few weeks ago. That is one place in the world that has NOT changed!! It's beautiful, it's quaint and your are sure to fall in love with the place! 
What can I say!?!?!? I found another yarn that is one of my favorites!!!!! I met Claudia at the TNNA Convention. I was immediately attracted to her colors and ordered enough to make a pair of socks - Spring Break. Her yarn was the first to be delivered of the things I ordered at the show and this sock was finished in record time. She does short strands of color and combines absolutely gorgeous shades. As soon as my "sock" customers saw the yarn, they ran to her website and told me what colors to order. If you look at Claudia Hand Painted Yarns on the Yarn page at
