Knitters Loom

2009-06-18T10:39:00.000-07:00

OKKKKAYYYYYYY I'm going to town now. I retied all the knots withonly 8 strings per knot. I had tried to weave and it was all looseand nasty. Now it's much better. My placemats are down to about 11.5 " wide, so I think it's going to be a table runner instead. It looks great. I only have a few inches done but now I'm excited. My husband loves the loom......he thinks it's beautiful and wellcrafted and loves the finish. Don't forget,,,,he's an ex-painting contractor, so he's very anal about those kind of things. I'm excited about using up some old yarn so I won't feel guilty about starting new projects.. woohoo....this is fun. I've always wanted to weave...this little baby is the perfect answer. Do I sound like an Ashford Knitting Loom commercial???? I'll come in tomorrow, Thursday.

Karin

This is just one of the great responses we've received from customers who have purchased an Ashford Knitting Loom from us. If you want to learn something new, come in and take a weaving class for only $20.00!

The Great American Aran Afghan

2008-07-22T15:27:00.000-07:00

2nd ROUND of Classes

Hi All,
Come join our new Block of the Month Club. What's that? Well, we are going to knit a Great American Aran Afghan (heirloom) with squares and in each square you will be learning a new type of cable stitch. Not only is this a very beautiful afghan, but it is something you will surely want to pass down to your family for generation after generation. Go here http://theraineysisters.com/?page_id=319 to check out what all the different squares are.

It's getting too hot to knit an afghan! Not this one, as you will only be knitting a small square at a time. Very similar to making a quilt and every bit as nice.

The class will be limited to 6 people. You will learn not only to read patterns, but to do many different types of cable stitches every 2 weeks. The 10 session class is $100.00, (that's $10.00/class!!!) cash or check only. Your other option is to pay over time at $20.00 per session, plus the yarn which costs $9.80 per ball of Cascade 220 Superwash. Yes, you can wash it!!! One ball will do a square. If you buy all your yarn at one time you will get a 10% discount on the yarn.

Come in, get signed up and pick your yarn. Yes, you will get to pick colors before we order! Don't forget you can pay per session, if you prefer. In order to get this yarn ordered and meet the class start dates we need you in here early as possible to pick colors, so we can get the yarn ordered and shipped. Because many of you have different schedules we will choose a start date collectively.

Hope to see ya soon!

2007-12-05T14:02:00.000-08:00

Here are just a few of the many warm scarves and hats Pat knitted for our homeless project. If you can find the time during the busy holiday season you have until December 14th to help some needy people keep warm this winter. The Jesus Center in Chico will distribute them to people in Butte County. They asked if there would be somewhere here in Paradise that could use some for next year. Anyone have any ideas???

Thanks to all of you who are helping and a very MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!!!

And the gift exchange!

Well, I think you can see by the smiles we all had a great time at the gift exchange. Robin has on her poncho she made. Leah is wearing her alpaca shrug she made. Pat is finishing her Gossamer shawl which you can see in our shop. Carolyn is working on her Lorna's Laces Cat Paw Shawl. Inga is working on her Ethno scarf and Betty is working on her neck down sweater. Joanie is working on her mystery project. Teena was just goofing off and Patti is wearing her pink scarf .

The fairies we ordered are going fast, so if you want one you best get in and take a look before they are all gone. We sold about 20 so far, just today!

FINALLY....Malabrigo yarn should be in next week or at least a partial shipment!!!

If you want a class on something we have a list of them. If you don't see something you want to make on it, just ask and we will put something together for you.

Knit Night 7-31-07

We are getting lots of new yarns in for socks as well as other things. I hate to be the bearer of this news, but Christmas will be here before you know it, so let's get you started on Christmas gifts. Tomorrow is August already! Some ideas might be a neck down sweater, felted hats, totes and those compfy warm slippers.

We now have really great smelling candles that come in their own beautiful cloth black box. They make great Christmas gifts for almost anyone. Qite honestly just about every person who has picked one of these up and smelled it has bought one or more.

It has been documented to cure or at least releave symtoms of arthritas, nose bleads, cuts/burns, stretch marks, reduces cholesterol, treats allergies, migraine headaches, cold & flu, sore throat/nasel congestion, and menstration ailments. It is an excellent moisturizer, anti inflammitory, natural emollient, anti-microbial and is excellent for healing wonds without scarring. We also carry the dog shampoo which not only smells wonderful, but keeps away fleas and ticks.

You must know how to knit and pearl to join Caroline, who will be teaching the class.

Wool dyeing & Spinning Class

2007-04-21T14:07:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics of the class Brooke Atherton arranged for those who wanted to learn how to dye fibers and learn spinning techniques. The morning was spent learning to dye wool and the afternoon spinning lessons. They learned techniques in twisting and looping the sections of wool to "tye-dye" the sections of fiber, then we placed each section in the dye pot for various periods of time (last section in was the first section out); then we rinsed and dryed the filber. After the sections were (mostly) dry, we did a bit of pre-drafting and started spinning. Roni is spinning hers on a drop spindle - the rest are using our wheels. Each dye pot was unique and no two had the same exact shade. As the fibers are drafted, the dye shades will change again in the finished product. The most dramatic example is the orange fiber in the center (above picture). The darkest orange on the far left, was only slightly twisted when it was set in the dye pot - the section of the far right was "knotted" rather tightly. The two sections in the middle of the picture were knotted more loosely. We'll post an "after" picture as soon as one of them has a completed bobbin of handspun!!

Venezia Yarn

2007-04-14T13:38:00.000-07:00

Here is a new yarn (Venezia) we have in with a sample of what it looks like. We actually have this top in the shop, so you can see first hand what it will REALLY look like. It's actually very stunning and would make a real nice gift for someone or of course make it for yourself...........even better.

Mother's Day

2007-04-14T12:37:00.000-07:00

Does your hubby or kids need an idea of what to get you for Mother's Day? It's less than a month away. We have a great idea, if they don't have a clue what to get you. How about a Knit Wit gift certificate? We have them for "any" amount. They can even call it in, with a credit card and not even have to leave the comforts of home or office. We will even mail it out to you (from them of course).
Happy Mother's Day!

Something New!!!

2007-04-11T11:00:00.000-07:00

It is called "Graduated Shades from a Single Pot", which will involve learning how to dye your own wool, drafting and spinning your new fiber into yarn.

"Mystery knit night" did not get advertised soon enough, as it filled up (almost) before we could let all of you know. There is one spot open, so if you are interested, give us a call to find out more and reserve a spot.

The "Cat Paw" lace shawl will be a four session class to be held in early April. Come in and take a look at the samples and see, if you might want to make one of these lovely shawls. Call or come in to find out dates.

This (Super Bowl) Sunday we will repeat the Loopy Boa Scarf class for those of you who missed it last time. This is a very different scarf from what you are used to, if you don't already know what it looks like. The class is from noon to 2:00 and will cost fourteen dollars.

For those of you who don't know, we have moved to our new location 6311 Skyway directly accross the street from Les Schwab Tires. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how nice it looks inside. There is even a cozy fireplace to sit around. We are still doing some minor work to the interior, but are fully functional. We hope to do something next spring with the facade.

We have some new yarn in from Schaefer (sock yarn), as well as some new alpaca & Pastanza yarn. We also carry some new beading to spice up a purse, scarf, or ?

Don't forget we are offering many "ANYTIME" classes. Stop by and get a list, pick a time that works for you and I will get you started at your convenience. Hope to see you soon!

Christmas "IS" just around the corner!!!

2006-11-02T14:26:00.000-08:00

One thing knitters and crocheters can't do is procrastinate, when it comes getting started on Christmas gifts. Christmas WILL be here before you know it and there is nothing worse than receiving a beautifully knit sweater with only one arm! So come on down and check out the new yarns coming in and get started on those Christmas gifts before it is too late.

2006-10-31T17:24:00.000-08:00

Here are a few pics of two of our October Birthday girls, Lynn and Linda enjoying some cake while sit'in & knit'n with some of our faithful regulars.

Noro Yarn Order

2006-10-27T13:50:00.000-07:00

We recently ordered several colors of the Noro's Kureyon yarn and that's the good news. The bad news is, it may be a 6-8weeks for some of it to come in and double that for some colors. I suppose that is far better than last year when it took up to one year to get some colors. We have no plans to quit ordering Noro, but we have been trying to find comparable brands that other suppliers have, to better serve you. When we move we will have more room and be able to keep more stock, which will help the situation as well.

Teaching classes, helping people, coming up with class ideas, ordering help and filling in when we need a weekend off. So, a great "BIG" thank you to Heather and we all look forward to seeing your smiling face soon.

Thanks so......much!!!

New Class Policy
Your time is valuable, so is ours.
After having multiple classes filled and then no one attending, payment for class in advance will be required at time of sign up. We hope this will encourage attendance and prevent having to turn others away from "full" classes.

So you wanna take a class....

Have you wanted to take a class?
Here are some things you should know:
We strive to keep our classes affordable and well below the national cost for knitting classes. In order to do this, we have a class policy that must be adhered to.
Sign up a week in advance at least. If something comes up, make a courtesy call to cancel. Class sizes are limited, some one may be on a waiting list. 877-9276
Come in several days before the class for pre-class instructions, and to pick out and have your yarn wound.
This is the most important part of our policy. Yarn bought directly before class and unwound creates more work for the Knit Wits staff and takes away from yours and others valuable class time.
Also for some of the classes, picking out the pattern ahead of time gives you the chance to start on the project. This allows our class time focus on learning new techniques and working on difficulties that may arise in the pattern instead of just getting a bunch of rows done. If you knit slowly, this is extremely important.
Yarn for projects and classes must be purchased at Knit Wits.
Know your gauge. If you knit tightly, you may need to increase needle size.
This policy was made to help everyone get as much from the classes as possible AND make our classes enjoyable.
Feel free to take notes during classes. Most classes have hand outs for your benefit.
