December Sunday Workshop: Betangled Cowl
Any Sunday in December.
10:00 am – 1:30 pm
$25 (materials additional)
The Betangled Cowl is a warm, luxurious cowl for those coldest of days in deep winter. The fabric is completely reversible, with dramatic ribbed cables on a garter-stitch field. This cowl is knitted from one short end to the other, and then the ends are connected with a button closure.
The pattern includes three sizes: a single loop, a longer single loop that can be worn around the shoulders, and a double loop. The circumference of the loop can easily be adjusted as you go. Although the pattern calls for worsted-weight yarn, dk, and aran-weight yarns will be equally beautiful.
Fully written instructions are provided, along with an optional chart.
Malabrigo Holiday KAL
For our next KAL we have decided to shake things up a bit. Knitters who would like to continue to work on their KAL sweaters are welcome to continue. For those knitters who switch to gift knitting (or just accessory knitting) can participate in our Malabrigo Holiday KAL. Knitters can join us during November & December on Sunday afternoons from 1:30-4. HOW DOES IT WORK?
You can choose from any of the Malabrigo yarns in the shop. A ticket will be issued for each skein purchased. When the project is completed, bring the ticket in and you will recieve 10% off on your next skein of Malabrigo yarn and the tickets will be entered into a drawing that we will have during our post-holiday party.

Many of you have gotten to know our landlord Grace (the Duchess of Douglas). This year she began volunteering at Anderson Animal Shelter. Shortly after she started she adopted her 3-legged cat, Zeus. We have come to enjoy hearing about the adventure of the animals at the shelter and have also enjoyed collecting supplies, toys, and food for Grace to donate. This year we have decided that our charity will be Andersons. If you are interested in donating supplies, toys, or food please check out the Anderson wish list by following the link. ![]()
