Knit Amongst the Roses

At the Avis Campbell Gardens

Lovingly maintained by the members of the Garden Club of Montclair, the Avis Campbell Gardens are tucked behind the United Way building and beside the Public Library at 60 South Fullerton Avenue in Montclair.

In celebration of World Wide Knit in Public Day, you are invited to knit and crochet amongst the roses in this beautiful garden on Sunday, June 14 from 3:30 – 5:30 pm.

This event is free.  No RSVP is required. 

No seating is available so bring a lawn chair, a knit or crochet project, and a friend. 

In the event of rain, go to www.theknittingbureau.blogspot.com for further information.  

Continental Knitting

Want to learn to knit faster?  With less stress on your hands and wrists? 

Continental knitters tension their yarn through their left hand and “pick” their stitches.  Stitches are formed and seated on the needle in the standard Western style anticipated in American knitting patterns. 

Monday, June 8 – 1 – 3 pm OR 6:30 – 8:30 pm

Supply list available when your register.  No pre-class preparation. 

If you are interested, but these times don’t work for you, let me know.  

Fair Isle

Fair Isle Class this coming Thursday, May 7 from 1:30 - 3:30 pm or 6:30 - 8:30 pm.

Fair Isle is color work knitting in which the stitches are worked in two colors in each row with stranding or floats on the wrong side. A Fair Isle project can be worked in two or more colors overall.

If you are interested, let me know. There's a supply list and class preparation (about 1/2 hour of work).

Jumbo 7 - CYC's new yarn weight

To include a variety of super thick yarns introduced to the marketplace, the Craft Yarn Council has added a new yarn weight category - Jumbo Yarn Weight #7.

The goal with this change is to make it easier for crocheters and knitters to understand the type of fabric these Jumbo yarns create and the range of hooks and needles generally required.

Also take note that there are slight gauge changes for Super Bulky Yarn Weight #6.
