The knitted or "Baltic" braid is an embellishment that looks like you have braided some yarn and glued or stitched it along the surface of your knitting. It can be done with a single color, or two colors. Starting with a couple of colors of yarn from your stash (any weight but preferably the same weight) we will learn how to do a Baltic Braid. Then we will try our hand at a hat that incorporates the Baltic Braid into the pattern. The hat is sized for Mother, Daughter and doll so pick the lucky recipient and let's learn to braid.

You will learn tips and tricks for making these the best mittens ever – like putting your hands inside soft pillows! Great for gifts or to keep for yourself. You will discover what fibers work the best to line your mittens, how to prepare that fiber for knitting and how to care for your mittens once they are finished. We will work from a basic mitten pattern, but you will be given a couple of options for cuffs, thumbs and finishing. NOTE: You must already know how to knit and purl.

MAY ~ JUNE CLASSES, SPECIALS & KAL'S
It finally feels like we have turned the corner from winter to spring and it couldn’t have arrived soon enough for most of us. We had a lot of fun with our classes and knit-a-longs this winter and we think we have some exciting new things scheduled for May and June to take you into summer. Remember, as you look over the scheduled classes, if you see a class you are interested in but the time doesn’t fit into your busy summer schedule we be happy to re-schedule it at a more convenient time.
Congratulations to Lucy Bromm, who was the winner of last months prize giveaway! Lucy won a shoulder wrap kit that she is planning to knit for one of her granddaughters.
We are very excited about our summer Knit-a-Long project, the Wrap Me Up Stole by Chris de Longpre of Knitting at Knoon designs beginning in June. Be sure to read more about this in our June class descriptions or stop by the shop to see a sample or the pattern.
Our summer shop hours begin the fourth week of May. Starting that Saturday (May 24) we will be closed on Saturdays during the summer so be sure to make a note on your calendars.

Following her lead, our Sip-n-Sock for May will not be a sock at all, but an adventure in knitting mittens!
If you have never made mittens before, they are actually very easy...my motto is that mittens are just socks with a thumb instead of a heel! If you have made mittens before, how about giving a new and more challenging project a try this month? If you don't have a pattern for mittens you would like to try, come into the yarn shop and browse some of the books or magazines to find something or look online at many of the free patterns available. Cost to participate is $5 for the month, which entitles you to 10% off the knit along supplies. Please Note: This is NOT a learn to knit mittens class but rather a knit along where we chose a pattern and yarn to work on together, lending support as needed

This modular wrap is over-the-top in color and texture ~ as much fun to make as it is to wear! Knits up quick on size 8 needles with worsted weight main color yarn, a harmonizing secondary color and incorporating a few beads (optional). You will create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece with the selection of your own colors and style. This is a truly addictive pattern you knit from block to block, not wanting to stop till you see what comes next! Stop by the shop to see samples or take a look at the pattern.
COST to participate is $5 per month, which entitles you to 10% off the yarn for the knit along, plus $10 for the two-hour workshop (description of workshop below) that kicks off the project – a total of $25 (3 months at $5 per month and $10 for the workshop) plus supplies, for a summer long fun knit. The project requires a total of 1200 yards of worsted weight yarn, so if you are planning to purchase yarn from the shop you may want to come in during the month of May to make your selection and then be sure we have the quantity needed in your choice and colors (we will order more if needed) The sampler photo below (knit by Cary Smith of Serenity Farms) uses a combination of handspun yarn with Brown Sheep’s Lambs Pride:
This is NOT a difficult pattern, but it does require some techniques you may not be familiar with. Our plan is to “kick off” the knit-a-long on Monday, June 2nd with a two-hour workshop to provide you with some tips and guidance. You will learn how to knit a mitered square; tips for working paired decreases; picking up a new square from a previous one; hints for hiding yarn ends as you go and gain the confidence needed to create your own wonderful wrap! Cost for this workshop is $10 and even if you are just considering knitting the wrap, this class may help with your decision.

No Sip-n-Socks in June ~ instead why don’t you join us as we begin our WRAP ME UP stole? See details below….
**NEW FOR JUNE!** The WRAP ME UP STOLE KNIT-A-LONG: Mondays, June 2, 9, 26, 23, & 30; 6-8 pm (this kal will continue through July and August)
This modular wrap is over-the-top in color and texture ~ as much fun to make as it is to wear! Knits up quick on size 8 needles with worsted weight main color yarn, a harmonizing secondary color and incorporating a few beads (optional). You will create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece with the selection of your own colors and style. This is a truly addictive pattern you knit from block to block, not wanting to stop till you see what comes next! Stop by the shop to see samples or take a look at the pattern.
COST to participate is $5 per month, which entitles you to 10% off the yarn for the knit along, plus $10 for the two-hour workshop (description of workshop below) that kicks off the project – a total of $25 (3 months at $5 per month and $10 for the workshop) plus supplies, for a summer long fun knit. The project requires a total of 1200 yards of worsted weight yarn, so if you are planning to purchase yarn from the shop you may want to come in during the month of May to make your selection and then be sure we have the quantity needed in your choice and colors (we will order more if needed) The sampler photo below (knit by Cary Smith of Serenity Farms) uses a combination of handspun yarn with Brown Sheep’s Lambs Pride:
This is NOT a difficult pattern, but it does require some techniques you may not be familiar with. Our plan is to “kick off” the knit-a-long on Monday, June 2nd with a two-hour workshop to provide you with some tips and guidance. You will learn how to knit a mitered square; tips for working paired decreases; picking up a new square from a previous one; hints for hiding yarn ends as you go and gain the confidence needed to create your own wonderful wrap! Cost for this workshop is $10 and even if you are just considering knitting the wrap, this class may help with your decision.
We have some fun things planned for the duration of this summer long event….why don’t you come out and join us?
BASIC NEEDLE PUNCH: Monday, June 9; 6-8 pm Needle punch is an old form of fiber arts that utilizes weaver’s cloth and embroidery thread for a unique needle crafted piece of art.

FEBRUARY CLASSES & KAL'S
FEBRUARY SPECIALS ~
Coffee House –10% off Chai Tea

FEBRUARY CLASSES ~
SIP-N-SOCKS: February 4, 11, 18 & 25; 6-8 pm
February’s sock pattern is the Hellen’s Socks pattern by Fiber Trends (pattern available at Sip-N-Knit)
**NEW IN FEBRUARY!***
A WONDERFUL WALLABY KNIT-A-LONG at SIP 'N KNIT**
Monday evenings in February - February 4, 11, 18 & 25; 6-8 pm
Maybe you've seen them, maybe you've heard about them, maybe you don't have a clue what we are talking about... but you will definately fall in love with the Wallaby sweater from Cottage Creations.
This popular pattern has been in existence since 1984. With sizes from children's 2 to Adults "super size" it is seamless, knit in the round and featureing both a "pouch" and a hood (though the hood is optional)...think of a knitted "hoodie"!
All you need to join us in this Knit-A-Long are the Wonderful Wallaby pattern, an assortment of circular and dpn's in the appropriate size, and yarn required to accomplish the size pattern you want to make (all are available for purchase at Sip 'n Knit). You will also need the basic knowledge of knitting (this is not a "how-to" knit class, it is a project knit-a-long) There will be knitters who have made the Wallaby before on hand to help you should you encounter a problem and light refreshments are available through the coffee house. Cost to join us for knitting on Monday nights is a one time fee of $5 (per month)
If you have not seen the Wallaby before, be sure to stop by and see one on display at the Yarn Shop.
MIDDLE OF THE MITTEN FIBER ARTS MEETING: Saturday, February 9; 10 am – 2 pm (with an hour break for lunch)
Selecting and Spinning for Sock Yarn (including fiber preparation) with Cary Smith
Learn tips to help you chose and prepare a fiber; spin and condition a yarn that will hold up to sock-wear. Although geared towards sock yarn, this workshop will be informative to anyone wanting to learn more about making your spinning wheel work for you! COST: $5
LOCKER HOOKING RUG: Saturdays, February 2 & 16, 10am – 2pm
Create a piece of folk art. Locker hooking, using yarn, provides a fun and easy craft similar to traditional rug hooking, but with a twist. The locker hook uses the eye at the end of the needle to draw a string through all the loops you work. This “locks” them in place on the front of the canvas. The fact that the loops lock into place makes the rugs durable, and best of all washable. COST: $30 plus supplies. Class size limited to 10. INSTRUCTOR: Suzanne Bailey
