Dallas Handknitter’s Guild

  • Posted on September 2, 2010 at 12:29 pm

This coming Tuesday evening is the first meeting of the year for the Dallas Handknitter’s Guild.  I am the speaker this month and for the next 3 months afterward! We will be doing an ongoing program on lace knitting.  This month is a Lace Refresher.  We are going to start the year with a simple knitted lace scarf pattern that will ease those who are not used to lace into the idea and refresh those brains of us long time lace knitters.  Who knows, you might learn a thing or two in the process!  I will also be discussing yarn choices for our shawl project which will begin in October so you don’t want to miss it.

GuildShawlThis is the shawl we will be making as modeled by my beautiful friend, Gloria in her wedding dress.  She just got married on Tuesday night, so many wishes for a long and happy marriage to Gloria and Stephen!

In other news this week, YES – I will be here and we will be open this Sunday even though it is Labor Day Weekend.  Escape the holiday crazies and spend some time with your yarny friends here!

One spot still remains in our Wonderful Wallaby class that starts on September 18th.  Email me at alissa@knittingfairy.com to reserve this space or call the studio (214)412-2889.

TraditionalStockingsLast bit of news, we are going to have a Traditional Christmas Stocking class in October on the 9th and 16th from 1-3pm.  This class is filling up fast, so call to save your spot today.  The cost is $30 plus pattern and materials.

Happy Knitting!

September and October Classes

holdenis1Wonderful Wallaby – this clever pattern by Carol Anderson of Cottage Creations was my son’s favorite sweater when he was little. I think I made every size up into middle school for him. My adorable nephew needs one, so how about we make one together? This sweater is a pull-over available from child size 2 up to adult 2x. It features a pouch pocket in the front and an optional hood (which I think was Alex’s favorite part!). It is made in stockinette stitch with worsted weight yarn – I’ll be making mine out of Kraemer Perfection for Holden, it’s machine washable which will please my sister and very soft which will please Holden.

Cost: $45 (pattern and materials are not included)

When: Saturday September 18, 25, October 2, 2010  1-3pm

TraditionalStockingsChristmas Stockings

Yup, it’s that time – time to be making those Christmas stockings for one and all.  Our quick to knit, Traditional Christmas Stocking is perfect! Easy to make, knit in the round and totally customizable for those who wish.  If you have never made a sock before and always wanted to try this is a fun way to learn.  If you are an old-hand at socks and just want some help translating your skills into a larger size we can do that too.

Cost: $30 (pattern and materials not included)
