October begins the second month of Honey General's weekly Knit Cafe on Tuesday nights at 6:00 p.m. So we would like to know...what are you knitting for this winter? What crafts do you share with your friends and family during Christmas? Has anyone tried to knit the red bikini in the Stitch 'n Bitch book? If so, what happens when you take a swim?
Alice is finishing up her final (for now) pair of socks to tackle a few projects that require less brain power. Rose went back to crocheting after one very interesting lesson on knitting. I have set a goal for myself to complete one scarf per week from now until Christmas. That leaves me with ten scarves. The first one is an oatmeal colored angora 4" scarf with very, very, very small stitches. Friends and family, please put in your color requests now. :) Maybe next year someone will get a sweater or a yoga bag tote!
If you're knitting or stitching or crocheting alone, come and join our group! If you are a beginner, we can help you with the basics! See you soon!

Hi Donna,
Just saw on your blog that you are having a knitting night. Are you still going to have one in 2008? If so, when? I will get the word out to my group of knitters.
Also, I have an easy sweater class that starts Jan. 5 from 1-4 p.m. Below is the class information. If anyone wants to take the class, have them let me know via email so I can send them the yarn and swatch requirements.
Thanks,
Margaret
The Trinity Stitch Sweater for Adults: $85 - This class meets 3 Saturdays - January 5 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., January 19 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and February 2 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Prerequisites:
Students should know how to knit, purl, cast on, and bind off without assistance.
Students should bring:
yarn, needles, stitch markers, scissors, calculator, notepad and pen/pencil for taking notes; homework swatch. Upon registration, students will receive instructions for determining amount of yarn needed and size of needles to use, along with homework swatch instructions.
This is the baby sweater that will be in the Spring issue of Spin-Off magazine. Due to popular demand, I am enlarging the pattern for adult sizes. This cardigan is made from the top down so you will be able to try it on as you go for a perfect fit. In this class, you will learn how to make any sweater from the top down no matter what yarn and needle sizes you want to use, how to incorporate a front band that doesn't sag as you go, how to make sleeves the perfect length instead of too short or too long, and other tidbits of information that will give you a perfect fit every time.
