Headband Week!

This week has been my week of Headbands.

After I finished the Colinette hat I had enough left over from the skein to make a headband. (You can find the picture 3rd down.)

While I was knitting the headband I realized that a headband is actually a really good way to do a yarn sample. For one you get to see a large enough sample of how the yarn knits. For another I get to experiment with knit /purl designs at the same time putting ideas out there.

Headbands are a really quick small gift project. For the most part you can get 2 head bands out of one skein so those luxurious yarns like Noro and Colinette can be used for a drop dead look.

I am actually getting 3 head bands out of the Noro transitions. All 3 look very different because of the way the different yarns are put together. I should have a picture of the other 2 soon (or you can just come in to see them!)

New...The Estelle Twelve Yarn. Twelve different yarns in one skein and NO KNOTS! Two to three make a scarf. Perfect gift as is for a knitter to make a perfectly simple yet stunning scarf.

Coming soon is the felted pumpkin workshop! $20 for the class, patterns, yarn and the felting of one pumpkin. (There will be enough yarn for 2 pumpkins)
On October 10th Jane Ellison is here for the Carlos glove workshop.

The Gloves use the Hacho yarn from Mirasol. Hacho is the multicoloured yarn in the lower triangle. Carlos Gloves are knit in a new fashion. Sideways! Workshop costs $75.00 and includes a viewing of Jane's designs and a talk from her about Mirasol and her designs.
