Magazine Update!



There's great news for those of you who missed out on the Winter-Spring 2010 issue Knitscene. Our first shipment of this eagerly anticipated magazine sold out in a matter of days. (No surprise, considering Connie Chang Cinchio's Geodesic Cardigan, pictured above, is already in more than 1500 cues on Ravelry). We've just received a bonus shipment so hurry down and pick up your copy before they're gone for good!

We're also getting a jump on spring cleaning by marking down our inventory of back issues of Knitter's, Interweave Knits and Interweave Crochet, as well as selected pattern books from Berroco and Classic Elite. This is a chance to get some stock up on some great stash-busting inspiration at bargain prices!

Beyond the Basics: A Refresher clinic

If you already know how to do the knit stitch, but need help with just about everything else, this 2-hour refresher may be right for you.

We will cover the purl stitch, and the types of fabrics you can knit using basic knit/purl combinations.

We will review cast on and bind-off techniques, simple sewing-up techniques, and introduce increases and decreases. We will deal with simple problems like dropped stitches and other common mistakes.


Prerequisite: Basic knitting skills (even if you've forgotten them!)
