Knitting

Knitplay is Unwind's newest course under the Knitting University umbrella.  It's a graduate program for knitters where techniques are practiced in more depth than the original Knitting University course.

In our ten sessions we will:

• Play with choosing yarns & Considering the fabrics they create
• Building a color palette
• Crochet for knitters
• Pattern making
• Playing with pattern stitches
• Hems & selvedges & buttonholes
• Finishing & blocking

Each three hour session will begin with 90 minutes devoted to open knitting with project help.  Stephanie Steinhaus' expert instruction will combine with advice and feedback from your fellow knitters.  The second 90 minutes of each session will be spent with interactive exercises exploring the techniques above.

Knitplay will provide a casual, thoughtful, fun environment for playing with yarn, building confidence and being a happy knitter!

Our newest Pick of the Month is the National Gallery Shawl by Tanis Grey.  This shawl is a nice example of the striping that is so popular right now in shawls, with the added textural interest that comes from the daisy stitch.  This shawl is made in three skeins of Knit Collage Stargazer Silk & Sequins, two in Color A and one in Color B.

The pattern is available here, through ravelry.  This kit is available for a limited time only, once the stock is gone, it's gone.  So don't wait, order your kit now!

Each skein is 100-110 yds of 100% Silk with Brass Sequins

Antique Coral	French Vanilla	Jet Black
Marigold	Spruce

Hi little guys! Aren't you fun! Work these wrist warmers up in your favorite four colors and you'll end up wearing them all season long, or even longer! My hands always need a little hug so I wear mine on foggy mornings the year round. Plus working a little Fair Isle always keeps your knitting interesting. I love adding splashes of color here and there. A little pink for me, please!
