JUST IN FOR FALL / WINTER 2011 - 2012

GREETINGS
|
||
| Hello Knitters! Time again (already!) for the fantastic influx of fall yarns. This year seems to be about color: hand-dyed, heathered, clear or muted. And as far as fibers go, you’ll find a lot of new luxury blends which combine softness with character so they can be both great-feeling and easily knittable. We hope you enjoy the new entries (or the old favorites) as much as we do! |

| A TIP: SPLITTY YARN |
| Sometimes the nice soft yarns we loved in the hank become a splitting problem on the needles. There are a few things you can do about this. First, since we just know you’re noticing this as you swatch, haha, try working from the other end of the ball (if you’re pulling from the center, try the outside end & vice versa). This can help re-twist the yarn instead of un-twisting it. Also, try to relax the fingers holding the yarn, to let all the twist possible get to the needle. One more idea: Poke into the space below the stitch on the needle, instead of where the yarn rides up on the needle. |

EXCITING NEW CLASSES
|
|
| MYSTERY KNITALONG | "INTERSECTIONS" with June McKnight |
| Here's a chance for you to join Monarch Knitters in a really fun Mystery Knit-Along from designer Laura Nelkin! A Mystery Knit-Along is where you get knitting instructions a little at a time, spaced out over about a month, and you don't know what you're making beforehand. But rest assured, if it's Laura Nelkin, it's going to be fabulous! |
Creative needlewomen have much in common, whether using knitting needles, tapestry needles or quilting needles! Join us at this creative intersection to bridge the gap! |
