It Is Time to Pull Up Your Socks!

Kniterary is having a Sock Knit a Long!

Do you have troubles knitting both socks in a pair??

Do you find yourself being flummoxed by Finalization?

Well!

Join us at Kniterary while we

Pull Up Our Socks

and

Spend the year making sure we are not stricken with

SSS

(Second Sock Syndrome)!

How can YOU join??

Commit in January to knit one (YES ONLY ONE) sock each month in 2011!

If you have already been felled by SSS you can finish the mates for your pile of loners or you can start 6 socks the first half of the year and knit the mates during the second half. Choose your own yarns and patterns!

THE AIM: At least 6 pairs of socks by the end of December 2011.

When you bring in your sock to Kniterary for its portrait you will receive 10% off the purchase of 100 grams of sock yarn. (only available 1 time a month per person) AND enter your name for the year end Prize! I will need proof that you are still Pulling up your Socks!!

Sound fun and Silly?

THEN

DON'T DELAY

SIGN UP TODAY!

JOIN THE FUN

AND

PULL UP YOUR SOCKS!

I am still here!!

Ok ....

I started a post and it got eaten! I will attempt to remember all that I was so eloquent about.

Creativity has been pouring out of me lately. I completed 2 more canvases that combine my fiber art and paint. Both are hanging in the shop so pop in to see!

Right now I am working on a Bra for Mardi Bra. Mardi Bra is a fund raiser for Priness Margaret and breast cancer research. Artists create bras to be modeled and to be bid on. The money made goes to help fight Breast Cancer. I have chosen to do Marigolds because Whitby was once the "Home of the Marigold" In the photo above the left one is just the base that I am building on. On the right one I have started to build the petals of the flower. I'll keep you updated on the progress!

Just in are 5 colours of Misti Alpaca Sock Yarn. They need to be petted! so come on in!!

There are 2 free patterns available for this gorgeous yarn. One is a sock pattern with sizes from child to large man. The other is a lovely lace scarf pattern. You will get to chose one of the free patterns with the purchase of one skein. Buy 2 skeins - get both!

In the previous post I let you all know about the rug hooking class that will be on Saturday, May 23rd from 1 PM to 4PM. There are only 6 spots left so if you are interested in learning rug hooking basics make sure to sign up soon!
I have finished my sample and really enjoyed my first project!

It really is a fun way to use up left over yarns for quick little projects such as coasters and placemats. I hope you'll join the class!

The Knit A Long for Vickie's newest Shawl pattern begins at the end of this month. The SeaSilk is on its way as I write.

If you would like to join the class to get the shawl started on May 30th at 10 AM let me know. The KAL kit costs $45 and the class is $10.

Pictured here is her shawl knit up in the Ocean colour.

Make sure to stop in as well to see the sale yarns! They have been caught lying down on the job and they need to go!

Shawl KAL

Vickie has created a new shawl pattern!!!

The Flower and Leaves Lace Shawl is a beautiful triangle shawl knit in Handmaiden Sea Silk. (The Picture above is not in the Seasilk but you can come into the shop to see it until I get an updated pic)
To celebrate this event I have decided that we need a KAL!
It will start on May 30th with a morning class for those in need of help and are in the area.
Help right from the designer! What else could be better!
The cost of the pattern and the sea silk kit is $45 plus tax. If you already have seasilk you may purchase the pattern for $7.95.

The class will be an extra fee. I will let you know what it is ASAP.
The colours that the shawl is available in are Ocean, Berry, Amethyst and Smoke.
Pictures and more info will be made public as soon as I get it all together.
Contact the shop at (905)668-8368, 1-877-778-8368 or reachus@kniterary.com.
Payment for the kit or pattern is due upon sign up.

The new Vogue Magazine is in the shop! There are some Great patterns in it. I have picked out a basket weave drop stitch shawl to knit!

Come and have a look.
