The cooler weather's here, and it sure does motivate me to kick my knitting into high gear. Currently, I have three active WIP's, with four projects waiting to jump on my needles!
Now, I hate to nag (sort of), but we have only 86 days remaining to gift knit! Wait a sec, that sounds like a lot, so let me put it in a way that sounds scary...we have just under three months to finish...er, start AND finish our holiday knitting! YIKES!
No worries, though! The Nest has quite a few quick-knit gift ideas this month, along with some more detailed projects, so find some you like, and register for the classes.
Let's take a look at what's going on this month at your favorite LYS!
We're kicking things off with some simple knitting. If you like mindless, stressless projects, we've got just the thing for you! Bring your easy projects, and knit among friends every Tuesday this month. And if you need an idea for an easy project, who better to help, than the ladies of The Nest! Join us at 11:00 a.m. and knit your stress away! Ahhhhhhhh.
The Oscilloscope Scarf/Shawl is back for three weeks only, so don't wait to register for the 6:00 class with Krista A.
Tuesdays, October 19th & 26th
Tuesday, November 2nd
Next up, we've got a darling little sweater ornament that pulls double duty. Knit these babies up to use as gift tags that the recipient will hang on his or her tree for years and years. Or make several of them to add warmth to your own holiday tree!
Wednesdays, October 6th & 20th at 4:30 p.m.
For our sock lovers, we've not forgotten about you! Tawnya's found a great pair of socks for the Sock Group to knit...The Skew Socks!
Thursdays, October 21st & 28th, and November 4th at 5:30 p.m.
Back by popular demand...or because we just need a little more time to finish, we're having two more Crayon Box Jacket classes this month. If you have yarn in your stash that you absolutely love, but have no idea what to do with it, let Diana show you how to make an incredible, one-of-a-kind jacket! You'll wow everyone you know, shoot, you'll wow yourself with this one!
Fridays, October 1st and 22nd at 11:00 a.m.
If you are looking for a quick, stylish alternative to a scarf, look no further! We've got the answer at The Nest: The Ribbed Collar! This project knits up in just a few hours, and with the classy combination of seed stitch and 1x2 ribbing, even the shortest attention spans won't get bored. The hardest part about this project is choosing which buttons you like best!
Friday the 8th at 11:00 a.m. and Saturday the 16th at 3:00 p.m.
(Don't I look warm?! I am...and you could be too, you know!)
This kicky little beret is both cute and cozy...and it's the perfect gift for anyone with a head. Not to mention that fact that it's FAST! Make one for your favorite sports fan using team colors, or perhaps for your sister using her children's birthstone colors, the options for the Zig-Zag Beret are limitless!
Fridays, October 15th & 29th at 11:00 a.m.
And to finish off the weeks of October, Beth is back with another exciting felted bag! She's breaking it down into three weeks of classes, so you'll have plenty of time to knit each part of the gorgeous May Bouquet Bag.
Saturday, October 2nd at 10:30 a.m.: Kitchner Stitch (Okay, okay...this is for the felted shoulder bag, but it's really quite helpful for loads of other things as well, i.e. socks, hoods, stuffed owls (specifically the one in Knit Simple's Holiday 2010 issue...conveniently available at The Nest!), and many other things.
Saturday, October 2nd at 11:00 a.m.: Callalilly for the May Bouquet Bag
Saturday, October 9th at 11:00 a.m.: Roses for the May Bouquet Bag
Saturday, Octovber 23rd at 11:00 a.m.: The May Bouquet Bag
That's all for me at this time, but have no fear, I will be back to bring you more exciting things from The Nest, so stay tuned, and remember, there's always something you have to have at The Nest!
Go forth and knit!!
