New In The Shop
 
Introducing the new Zodiac Series from Emma's Yarn! As they follow the sun’s path through the cosmos throughout the next astrological year, they are releasing a Theme Pack and a Super Silky Trio for each of the twelve signs of the zodiac as they come up! We will have all 12 colorpacks and theme packs as they come out.
 
December 22nd marks the beginning of the tenth month of the astrological year, Capricorn. People born with the sun in Capricorn are said to have steady ambition, quiet strength, and timeless sense of purpose. Emma's Capricorn Theme Pack and Super Silky Trio taps into Capricorn's earth sign roots with grounded neutrals, stone grays, and cool blue greens.
 
Looking for a project? We have a Ravelry Bundle full of ideas for using the Emma's Theme Packs. As for the colorpacks we think they would be wonderful in projects like the Gradient Lights Shawl by Laura Dobratz, the Triangulate Shawl by Carissa Browning, the Dreamstate Shawl by Lisa Mutch, or the Bunting Shawl by Hailey Bailey
 
The January Crazy Beautiful Color of the month from Emma's Yarns is a winter wonderland for your needles & hooks! A blustery blend of blues on a silvery gray base. Perfect for a snowy day cast-on!

As usual, the color plays well with a huge variety of coordinating colors! Pictured here (top to bottom) with Rain Drops, Sky High, Bell Bottoms, & Trendy.

For our January KAL/CAL we will be knitting or crocheting the colorwork pattern of your choice. We will focus on the Doodle Knit Patterns by Jamie Lomax of Pacific Knit Co. , but your are welcome to work on the pattern of your choice or even design your own. If you are working with the Doodle Knits collection, you will start by choosing a base pattern from the Doodle Knits book, deck, or the patterns available individually on Ravelry. You will then select from the individual motifs or motif collections (also available in the book, in the decks, or on Ravelry) and mix and match them to create your perfect garment. There are lots of options including cowls, scarves, hats, stockings, mittens, a headband, or a coffee cup cozy. 

You can find the base patterns here- https://ravel.me/spingirl/dkbp

You can find the motif patterns here- https://www.ravelry.com/designers/jamie-lomax   

All ReBelle knit alongs are free and open to the public. You are welcome to attend as many or as few of the KAL sessions as you like.

Contour Shawl
 
Looking for a stunning accessory to throw on anytime you need something cozy with a lot of style? Join Raellyn for a two part class featuring the Contour Shawl, a deceptively simple asymmetrical shawl that lays securely on your shoulders as it curls around and hugs your neck. This shawl can be made beautifully with variegated yarns just using one colorway, but really shows off its style when using two (or more!) colors to flaunt the strong texture and ridge created in the easily memorizable two row pattern.

Sternig Hat
 
Are those stars in your eyes?  You’ll turn them into hearts after trying out this  hat pattern. The Sternig Hat combines the Marguerite stitch with other stitches to create a starlike texture on this lovely crocheted beanie.

Basic crochet skills are required for this class, and we would recommend it for the adventurous beginner or intermediate crocheter. We will be learning how to make a magic ring, how to crochet in the round, how to make increases, and how to create stitches with multiple yarn overs. This hat uses one skein of worsted weight yarn and a US J10/6.00 mm crochet hook.

Pattern available here: https://ravel.me/sternig

Lacy Sampler Cowl
 
Have you wanted to try lace knitting, but weren’t sure where to start?  Start here!  This cowl has 5 different lace patterns, each one building on the ones before.  In this class, Susan will help you learn how to read a lace chart and teach you what to look for and how to check that your design is on track.  Lace:  it’s just holes!

This cowl can be knit with anywhere from 1-5 colors, depending on your tastes.  It’s a great use of mini skeins, leftovers, or that special skein of solid/semi solid sock yarn that you’ve been saving.

Stately Windows Hat/Cowl
 
For this class you will chose to knit either the Stately Windows Beanie or Stately Windows Cowl by Niki Griffin. Both projects give the striking appearance of stained glass windows and are an absolute joy to knit. Susan will walk you through the combination of slipped stitches, 2 color stranded knitting, and a truly remarkable take on corrugated ribbing. Both projects use two colors of heavy DK or light Worsted weight yarn (we recommend either Malabrigo Rios or Berroco Ultra Alpaca,) the hat uses US6 needles and the cowl uses US4.

Bramble Basket
 
Create your newest organizational tool, perfect for organizing any part of your home, in this fun class suitable for beginners. 

The Bramble Basket by ChiWei Ranck is a simple project that works up quickly, using only chain stitches, single crochet stitches, and simple hand sewing to create its final shape. 
This project can be adjusted for any type of yarn, but we recommend using 135 yds of a chunky weight yarn and a US L-11/8.0mm hook or larger to get the fabric you like.

How to Read Crochet Patterns and Charts
 
Confused by all the abbreviations and wondering what those asterisks mean? Come learn to decipher the language of crochet patterns and charts to level up your crochet skills. We will be covering all the parts of a crochet pattern to see what information is included, translating most of those tiny abbreviations, and identifying the symbols that make up charts. This class is suited for crocheters of all skills who are curious to know more about what patterns say and how they are structured. Bring your favorite yarn and hook, and play with some patterns to see what they make! Teacher: Raellyn Hatter Thursday, January 29. 6-8 pm 1 class, $20
 
 
 
Intro to Spindle Spinning
 
Learn how yarn is made! We’ll talk about how fiber is prepared and spun, and you will get a chance to play with wool cards and different types of spindles as you learn one of humankind’s oldest and most important skills — how to make yarn. You’ll leave this class with both new skills and a renewed appreciation to what goes into making all that beautiful yarn that you love.

We’ll provide the wool, wool cards, and spindles to use in class. This is an absolute beginner class so no prior skills or experience are needed.
