Knit a Shawl, Solve a Mystery!

Join us Sunday from 3 to 5 for the kickoff of our summer knitalong, a mystery shawl. The shawl is a one-skein project in sock-weight yarn. We’re recommending Hazel Knits’ Entice, although any sock or fingering-weight yarn will do. The pattern will be released in five segments every two weeks, and concludes August 25.As usual we’ll have refreshments and door prizes, as well as expert advice on hand. If you’d like to participate and can’t make the party, we can email you the pattern segments, or you can pick them up at the store. As usual, we’ll have help sessions along the way and a party at the end to show off our finished projects. There will be a $7 knitalong fee to cover the cost of creating and distributing the pattern. If you’d like to sign up, stop by the store or give us a call. The full knitalong schedule can be found in our...
