We miss you already, Ana!!
>I’m thrilled to report that my Magic Loop Socks class is full! Thanks, everyone, for signing up, we should have a lot of fun. If you didn’t make it into this great group, please call us anyway – if we get a few more people, I will happily set up another session. Just call and get on the list and we’ll make it happen! Magic Loop is great for socks and every other thing you could possibly knit in the round. I really like it as just one more way to reach my knitting goals!
Also, Cis has just added a session of Socks on DPNs (double-points), which will be on Saturday mornings starting February 9th. This class is already filling, so if you want to get in on the Sock Mania, call and get your spot today!
If you don’t want to knit socks (or already know how!) don’t forget about our other fantastic classes coming up:

Any of the artyarns can be substituted to create your hand knit bling!!
Louisa Harding is still the featured designer for January and I have just knit up a fun little drawstring bag using 5 different types of her yarns. It’s a fun simple lace stitch, knit side-to-side, that makes up in to the perfect little evening bag, choice of 2 sizes. The pattern is free with the purchase of the yarns which are 15% off during January.

I personally love the one in the front of the photo – purple, black, a touch of green, acid yellow and pink. Retail price is $19.50 per skein.
Cis mentioned the fun Flat Feet socks that she ordered at market last week. Here’s a photo of a pair of socks being worked up.
You unravel the dyed fabric and knit with it as it unravels. It’s way cool! We have it sitting on our front table, so come in and give it a try. We’re taking pre-orders for this product.
Let’s keep those tootsies warm during this cold weather!
