| mid October 2011 Countrywool News k Are your needles clicking while you are reading this note? I am hurrying to complete the NORTHCOTT CARDIGAN SWEATER so I can wear it while the weather cools. That sweater and the ROLL NECK PULLOVER SWEATER will both be featured at our fall SWEATER WORSHOP. This class runs for 4 Saturday morning sessions and can get you a sweater that FITS by seriously cold weather. Both patterns use bulky soft yarns, so the knitting moves right along. Our first class meets Saturday, October 22, at 10 am. Sign up now!  And for all you spinners...how about working with a few local fibers? We have some FIBER CLASSES scheduled where you'll receive the washed fleece from local farms, instruction on what to do with it, and some yarn samples to aim for. Learn about flick and hand carding; curly spinning, and breed characteristics. The first class is Saturday, October 22 at 3:30. Sign up now! Countrywool has expanded hours this week for our Rhinebeck visitors... Stop by Thursday and Friday for coffee, chat, spinning and knitting company! Are you feeling creative? Need to jump start your holiday gift knitting list? Come and share and Sit 'n Knit/spin/crochet/weave with us. Want to help victims of Hurricane Irene? Come make them a hat with donated yarns. EVERYONE is welcome on Saturdays, October 15, 22 & 29 this month, from 12-3.
