Yarnspirations

The Internet is a rich source of FREE patterns for knitters. Most knitters soon discover Ravelry and Knitty, but there are several others to be explored.

YARNSPIRATIONS is the website for PATONS, BERNAT and     CARON   yarns.

The link below will take you to their shared pattern website.

I feel kind of guilty, we don't carry any of their yarns but we really like many of their patterns
Here are a couple I discovered recently.

Happy Knitting

P.S. I forgot to mention, Karen has a Learn to Knit Cables Class coming up very soon. If you have fallen in love with the cute Aran Sweater Tea Cozy but have not knit cables, here is your chance to learn in time to whip up a few as unique Christmas Gifts for your knitter friends.

The date and time, as listed in the classes on the website, has been changed as follows and there are a couple of spaces left.

Class	Introduction to Knitting Cables   (Karen) One 2 hour workshop - $20
Date & Time	Thursday, October 9, 1:00 P.M. – 3:00 P.M.
Description	Cables form the intricate designs in Aran Knits or traditional Fisherman’s sweaters. They can add a designer touch to a basic sweater and look beautiful in afghans and pillows. They may appear complicated, but are actually quite simple when you break them down step by step. Learn the techniques needed to produce beautiful cable patterns.
Prerequisites	Good basic knitting skills
