Spin/Knit Along Starts on Wednesday (January 27th)

Be part of the fun!

Barbara will lead a Spinners Simple Shawl Spin/Knit-along starting on January 27th. The shawl will be as simple or as complex as you want to make it. There are two versions, a top down triangle or a center out 3/4 square that can be made into a shrug.

For the spinners, the first 4 weeks (January 27, February 3, 10 and 17th) will be spent spinning the yarn for your shawl. Four ounces of fiber will yield enough yardage when spun from lace weight to fingering - depending on the size of the shawl desired.

On the fifth week (February 24), you will decide on the style for your shawl and begin knitting. At this time any non-spinners that want to join in on the Knit-along part can select their yarn and sign on.

The shawl is a very quick knit when minimal lace inserts are used and everyone should be able to complete it within four weeks (February 24, March 3, 10 and 17th) even if complex stitch patterns are selected.

There are samples of the shawls at Tempe Yarn. For more information or to sign up call or stop by Tempe Yarn. There is no fee for this event and you will be provided with a pattern written by Barbara.

Beginners It's Your Chance To Start the Journey

Perhaps you've watched your mother or grandmother (or father or grandfather) perform the magic of taking yarn and turning it into something special?

Perhaps you've done it before and then stopped as life got in the way?

Perhaps you have a friend who is always talking about doing this but hasn't started yet?

Perhaps you've been looking for something that allows you to tap into your creative soul?

Perhaps you are one of the growing number of men who are ready to learn the art of using yarn (which men created)?

Regardless of why, we are hear to help you on your journey.

On March 1st from 2 - 4 pm, we have a Beginning Knitting class for $20 taught by Bev Walker.

On March 8th from 10:30 - 12:30, we have Beginning Crochet for $20 taught by Terry Neal.

Then in a two part class on March 8th & 15th from 2-4 we have Beginning Knitting for Men Only for $40 taught by Bev Walker.

This is your chance to start a creative journey that will last your entire life.

Call Tempe Yarn & Fiber at 480 557 9166 to sign up for any of these classes.

Beginning and Endings for that Professional Look

Casting on and binding off, assembling and seaming—we kid about “the dreaded ‘S-word’—SEWING—but the work you do at the beginning and the end of your project can make a tremendous difference in the appearance of your finished piece.

On Sunday, October 14th, Bev Walker will be teaching “Beginnings and Endings for that Professional Look”. Participants will learn the advantages of using different techniques for casting on and binding off. They will also have an opportunity to practice seaming pieces together, all of which will help give their finished work a professional look.

As participants will be asked to do some knitting ahead of time in preparation for this class, please make sure to register early! Call us at 480 557 9166 for details.
