Thursdays mean the Knitting Fairy Yarn Studio is open for business. We have a drop in knitting class from 7-9pm, hope you can join us. What will Alissa be knitting? Likely it will be this:
Our Entrelac Baby Blanket. Now that the original has gone to it’s home and awaiting the arrival of Alicia next month it is time to make another from display.
Or maybe it will be a top down baby cardigan out of Perfection DK, or maybe an Iris Baby Dress out of Tatamy DK. Any are likely given the number of new arrivals expected among the friends of the Fairy! At least Baby knitting makes for good summer knitting.
Tallulah, our fabulous flamingo tea cozy, would like to remind you that we have a drop in knitting class tomorrow evening from 7-9pm. $10/person and seating is limited.
Our Shop Hours are
Thursday 1-9pm
Friday 12-5pm
Saturday 12-5pm
Sunday 12-4pm (Stitchin’ at the Studio is fun and free to all, 1-4pm)
So dig out that UFO (unfinished object) and bring it to the Studio so Alissa can help you get back on track! Remember, you get to reward yourself with new FUN stuff when you finish the old, stalled stuff.
I had a fabulous day with my family for Mother’s Day, I hope you did too. This week we are back to our regularly scheduled events, Drop-in Knitting on Thursday from 7-9pm and Stitchin’ at the Studio on Sunday from 1-4pm. Details on these events can be found in earlier posts this month.
What’s new? I have been chosen to design and teach a shawl especially for the Dallas Handknitters Guild. This shawl will be lace with an option for beading and will be presented in 4 programs, September, October, November and December. I will post more on the details of each program as the dates draw nearer but for now I am busy swatching and designing. Eventually, this pattern will be released as a Knitting Fairy pattern both for yarns we carry and Brooks Farm Yarn so if you are NOT a member of the DHKG (and why aren’t you a member?!) then hang in there, you can get yours too- but not until 2011!
Other news… Knitting Fairy is pleased to be the sponsor of Stitch It! podcast for the month of May. To enter to win you must donate to the podcast and your name will be entered into a drawing to win a shawl kit for our Counterspell shawl. Meghan does a fantastic job, we love her and we know you will too! Give her a listen and enter to win!!!
I am still totally in love with entrelac and with the Entrelac Baby Blanket I 
designed and knitted with hand-dyed yarn by Brooks Farm Yarn but now I want to knit it in a yarn that we are carrying.
I don’t have a particular baby in mind but I have several candidates.
I decided to think girlish thoughts and start with pink. The original blanket was knit in one color, I want to use three. Butterfly, Bloom and Fluff. Of course, you could use any number of colors – knit a whole rainbow if you like.
The pattern has 25 rows of triangles and squares, so my 3 should work out just fine. 8 repeats of my three colors and I will end the blanket with another row of Butterfly triangles. Perhaps I shall edge it with Butterfly as well. I’ll keep you posted on its progress.
