Students wear their Blue Sky Alpaca tank

Gina and Ann came in on Sunday for Sandy's free crochet class. They both were wearing their Blue Sky Alpaca tank top that they made in Sandy's "Tank Top" class. It was nice seeing them wear something from a class that they just took. They did such a wonderful job!!!

Jean's Seahorse Sweater

Jean took Sandy's "Tar Heel Sweater" class. The class taught how to make a kid's sweater with the Tar Heel foot on the front and back. However, Jean did not make the sweater with the foot motif. Jean wanted to make her sweater with a seahorse. Her sweater turned out so cute!!! She did such a wonderful job. Way to go Jean for thinking outside the box and make the sweater your own.

Mary's New Knitted Top

Mary came in the other day and showed us the "Short Sleeve Cardigan" she made out of the book, Noro Designer Mini Knits. The yarn she used was Noro Silk Garden.

The Alpaca Grande Shrug with a Twist and the Anthropologie Capelet

Lynn made the Plymouth Alpaca Grande Shrug that so many have already made. However, Lynn decided not to use the Alpaca Grande, but instead she used Venezia by Cascade Yarns. The Venezia gave the shrug the perfect drape and feel. The yarn is made of 70% merino wool and 30% silk and has a little sheen.

Lynn had some of the Venezia left from making the shrug. Instead of adding the yarn to her stash, she decided to buy a couple more skeins and make the Anthropologie Inspired Capelet .

Way to go Lynn! Two new additions to your wardrobe.

Lazaro Tank Top

Sandy made the Lazaro tank top from the book, Mirasol Collection by Jane Ellison. It is such a cute and stylish tank. It can be worn with another tank underneath or with a short or long sleeve shirt. It can be dressed up or down. It is the perfect tank for any one's wardrobe. The yarn is Hacho from Mirasol which is 100% hand dyed merino wool.

The tank top has been such a big hit, Sandy is teaching a class on it.

The class is on Saturday, May 24th, May 31st & June 7th; 9 am- 10:30am ($35).

Come by and try it on.
