What knit items do you have on your list for FALL/WINTER?

My list includes finishing a cashmere vest I started last summer, a few store samples (that I can wear too!), a sweater and mittens for each of the kids, a pair of handwarmers Alan when he is riding his bike around town.

Looking for some inspiration? We have so many classes this season. The classes are designed for anyone who know how to knit and purl. So if you just graduated from Stitch DC learn to knit classes, you can take these classes and feel confident. Or if you are an experienced knitter looking for tips on various techniques try the more advanced projects in our handwarmer or sweater classes.

Looking just for more fiber knowledge? Then try our yarn tastings. We have just a couple seats left in tomorrow night's Tilli Tomas affair. This is a ticket only event where guests will sample Tilli Tomas yarns and learn how to get the best BLING for your buck when using luxury yarns while we snack and enjoy some cocktails and cupcakes! As well as receive a 15% discount off all purchases during the yarn tasting. All guests get a goody bag too! Want to register, go here

KNITTING Hand Warmers

Depending on which pattern you choose you will learn to knit in the round, read patterns, try some lace, twist a cable, or try some colorwork. .

This class is designed for anyone who knows how to knit and purl. The rest is what we go over in class!
