If you are wondering about what hand-knit project to make this holiday here is an amazing display of "Barb's Ruffle" scarves. Made by our very own Kati Lindbloom from the ever-favorite Churchmouse pattern. We have the patterns available in the store for $5, or call/email us and we will mail one out to you. Kati used a variety of yarns (Madelinetosh Light, Manos Serena and the always popular Koigu KPPPM). You will need approx. 300-350 yards of fingering weight yarn and size US6 circular needles 32" for the project. It is a fun project and anyone would love to receive this scarf as a gift.
If you are looking for one that is already made stop by our Employee Holiday Boutique (starts November 25th) and pick out your favorite one.
Happy Knitting!
Andrea

Susan is one of our "regulars" at Wednesday Sit & Knit. Last week she brought in this gorgeous sweater that she just finished. This was a two year project and well worth the time invested...it is absolutely fabulous!
The sweater is wool (on the softer side of wools!) with intricate color changes. Susan said the wide section of pattern (with the red, orange, pink & gold) is called Celtic Animals. Very beautiful!
This week, Susan brought in this cute hat...
Lots of small colorful pieces, knitted together to create texture and pattern throughout. Very fun!
Great job Susan...you really know how to challenge yourself!

"When it's made with my hands,
it comes from my heart."
This is one of my all-time favorite sentiments. Every year I dream of having an "all-handmade" holiday, where my intent is to give only handmade gifts to the loved ones on my Christmas List. And every year at about this time, I have to re-evaluate my intentions and come up with Plan B!
However, here at the Stitchin' Post, we have several ideas (and classes!) to help you make gifts that let your love show through! Many of these projects can be finished during class, with plenty of time to make more at home! (Be sure to check the class section of our website for full descriptions of all these classes.) Happy Sewing! ~Tamra

Idea #5 (for keeping the kids busy!)~
Stitch-It and Knit-it Kits by The Little Experience
Sewing and knitting are what we do best here at the Stitchin' Post & TWIGS. We hope to see those skills passed on to the next generation! Remember who helped you take your first stitches ? I bet that person still holds a special place in your heart....
This summer, spend some quality time together,
building memories and teaching a skill that can bring joy for a lifetime!
We hope you enjoyed our "Kid Series" this week and have perhaps found an activity you can share with the young people in your life. There are so many ideas we can share with you...stop by, we'd be happy to show you more!
Enjoy the carefree days of summer... they pass by so quickly!
