This month we are featuring a pattern created by one of our very own staff.  Sue, who works part-time at Needles & Knits, was asked to knit a baby blanket for friends who are expecting their first grandchild.
 
They wanted chevrons and elephants and also wanted the colours to be white, grey and yellow.  So Sue, being very creative, designed this baby blanket.  We love it and think you will too.  The baby blanket was a big hit with the new parents!
 
Sue used Berroco Comfort from Needles & Knits Wool Shop.  You will need two balls each of grey and white and one ball of yellow.  She kindly wrote up the pattern to share with you and download.  Let us know if you have any questions. ***Please note that pattern has been updated with corrections on August 17,2016

****STROLLER SIZE PATTERN NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD


Don’t forget to take a look at our new section on the main page called “Classes.”  Registration is at the store.  

Knitalong -Velenzi Cardigan: Sewing & Cutting Steeks

Sewing and cutting steeks in hand knit cardigan
The Needles & Knits KAL students have completed week five of a six weeks knitalong class of the Valenzi Cardigan.  Week five is all about sewing and cutting steeks!  

Knitting instructor, Gabriela Dudas brought her trusty eighty year old singer feather light  to sew the front and sleeve steeks of the Valenzi cardigan. Brave student, Fiona did a fabulous job handling the sewing machine and the tricky sewing. 


Once the steeks were reinforced with the sewing machine, it was time to cut between the sewn lines and block to measurements. 

Next, stitches were picked up for the front band and the sleeves which are also picked up and knit top down. 
Everyone's Valenzi cardigan is coming along nicely.

To learn more, check out a previous blog post on steeking.

Don't miss out on the fun! Stop by at Needles & Knits to register for classes and workshops!
