Some of you may have a daughter, granddaughter, or niece that would absolutely love this summer dress. It is designed for the 2 - 6 year age group. Our own Gabriela (she teaches all the knitting classes at Needles and Knits) designed two girls patterns, The Little Flapper Dress and The Little Girl's Sundress. Gabriela went back to the good old days of the "tube top" and the roaring twenties era, and based the patterns around it. Stretchy tube top, I-cord straps and reverse crochet are all incorporated in the dresses.  Gabriela used Fixation yarn, a cotton and elastic yarn that provides a little stretch for the top and Cotton DK for the bottom.  Free patterns available for download. We would love to see your creations and welcome any comments or questions.

 Gabriella knit these mitts using one 50g ball of the Drops alpaca and silk yarn in this beautiful mauve. This is a free pattern designed by Megi Burcl. The mitts knit up quickly, look great and are so versatile. Sometimes it is nice to have one's hands covered but free from gloves. We have included the pattern here for you to download as we thought some of you might want to get a start on next year's Christmas knitting. LOL!
New classes are starting this month and next month. Please have a look at the classes being offered on the website page under Winter Classes
Audrey is a Needles and Knits customer and has been attending the Knit Therapy Sessions for a long time. Audrey recently discovered Fairgrounds DK at Needles and Knits Wool Shop. It is an acrylic yarn with the feel of merino and it can be washed. One would never guess it is an acrylic. Seriously! It creates a fair isle pattern when knit. Here are the six beautiful shades that are available.  Six shades of Fairground DK yarn She purchased a couple balls of the Fairgrounds DK and decided to knit up a few cowls. They turned out fantastic! Here are the how to's for Audrey's Cowl:
One ball of Fairgrounds DK With 4 mm circular needle cast on 110 sts for smaller blue cowl and 130 sts for orange cowl (Audrey cast on 140 for the one she knit but thinks 130 sts would allow for a nicer drape). Place a marker at beginning of round and purl 3 rounds. Knit in the round until desired length but leave enough yardage to finish. Purl 3 rounds and cast off all sts. Sew in end Therapy Knitters Holiday PotluckTherapy Knitters Potluck brought together a gathering of knitters from various Needles & Knits knitting classes and workshops!
