New Classes for August and September and a Tip!

Check out this lovely knitted steering wheel cover created by one of our customers! Now, that's one happy Honda!

Today we have scheduled many of our classes for August and September, so check the class listing web page to see if what you'd like to take is available. If there's a class you'd like to see on the calendar, just give us a call and make a request--that's how we know what people want!

We have all four of our learn to knit classes on the schedule, plus advanced classes with Patricia K! More will be added in the next day or two.

There has also been ANOTHER needle order! And today we put on the shelves a lot of great colors of worsted weight cotton yarn for our washcloth fans, as well as a couple of new "fall color" yarns in interesting blends. Come in and see what's new.

A Tip!

Celebrated cat breeder and sock knitter Patricia Wilson Pernet gave us permission to share her tip for knowing how to wash your hand-knit socks:

"A little old lady taught me a wonderful way to color code socks. You knit
the last row before decreasing for the toe:

• RED means hand wash, lay out to dry.
• YELLOW means machine wash, lay out to dry.
• NO CODE means machine wash and dry. "

You'd get a lot of socks out of a ball of yellow and a ball of red yarn, and never wash your delicate non-superwash wools the wrong way again! Thanks, Patricia!

Do you have a tip you'd like to share, or a photo of something you knitted along with the Chicks with Sticks or from our yarn? Send the information to webmaster@bluebonnetyarn.com and we will share!
