Happy "Fiber"uary! 
Even with the extra leap year day this year, Feburary is a short month with a lot going on! We have new projects to Knit along and Crochet along this month, some fund raisers to prepare for and a HUGE Fiberuary SALE!!!! Don't forget about Knit Night and Needle felting too! 

HUGE "Fiber"uary Sale!!!!

February's KAL and CAL
Our KAL this month is another shawl, but it's time for you to try something new, BRIOCHE!!!
We will be making Stephen West's Briornate shawl which can be found here https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/briornate-shawl 
This shawl has sections of single color brioche all worked flat, intermingled with some other fun textured stitches. Do not be afraid, you can do it!!!! Pat just finished her sample and if you know Pat, she doesn't knit brioche. The original shawl is all done with 4 colors of DK weight yarn, while our version is in 2 balls of Sirdar Jewelspun. I have lots of ideas for yarn for this one, so come in and lets be creative! We will be doing traditional zoom rules on this, free to join with yarn purchase, $10 for stash yarn, to sign up call the shop. KAL will begin the 13th at 7pm.  
 
Our CAL this month will be any AMIGURUMI you want to make. I have several kits by Circulo yarns and Universal Yarns in stock. I have tons of books as well to inspire you. Did you see the NEW tiny chenille yarns that arrived last month? So perfect for little critters!!! I confess I started a vampire before Halloween that needs to be finished and I never even began my ginger bread man for Christmas, so its time to make my friends!!! Since this is our first CAL this year and I too will be stash busting, this one will be free to sign up for using the link below. CAL will begin on Monday Feb 12th at 7pm.

Events at Luppoleto Brewery

KNIT NIGHT and NEEDLE FELTING

Knit Night is open to everyone no matter what kind of maker you are!  Join us February 8th, the 2nd Thursday of the month for great drinks, maybe your favorite food truck and of course fiber fun! It starts at 6:30pm!!!!

This month's food truck for Knit Night is Fat City Kid! 

Our needle felting class will be on the 22nd at 6:30pm and we are making flowers. Please note this is a Thursday evening this month. Our flowers are designed to be a fun little accessory you can make into a pin or magnet. This is a very simple design so this might be the perfect project for anyone wanting to try needle felting for the first time. Sign up will be available on Luppoleto's website. The food truck that night is also Fat CIty Kid.

Own a piece of Windsor History and Support a Local Cause

Around here Pat is our "local historian" and that is especially true when it comes to yarn shops in Windsor. The pieces of the blanket show above were started by Barbara the owner of Knits 'n Knots which was on Poquonock Ave in the 80's. It recently came into Pat's possesion during a recent visit to see her friend. As someone who appreciates heirlooms, I would like to complete this piece and see it be enjoyed for a long time. Being a part of Windsor's History and being able to bring that full circle is something I want to share. So this blanket will be available for raffle, with the drawing being on March 17th, the final day of our yearly "Stash Swap Sale" and St. Patrick's Day. 

Tickets will be availabe for $2 each or 7 for $10 and are cash only! 

The "Stash Swap Sale" will be held during regular hours on Saturday March 16th and on March 17th from 10am to 3pm. There will be a special preview on Friday the 15th after hours from 6 to 8pm.The "Stash Swap Sale" is cash only and the proceeds for this and the afghan raffle will go to Connecticut Cat Connection. 

If you have something to donate for the sale, please drop it off anytime before the sale. 

Thanks for your support! And Good LUCK!!!! 


Knit Socks from a Tube Workshop #2

Since there was so much interest in how to turn a sock tube into a pair of socks I will be offering this class again. This class will be held Sunday April 7th from 11am to 3pm. 

This will include the already knit sock tube and a ball of contrasting color of your choice. You will need to bring size 1 or 1.5 needles of your choice (some found a long circular was easiest), some sharp scissors, a darning needle and your knitting skills. This is not a beginner class but if you can knit and k2tog with confidence you can do it!

The workshop is $130 and requires registration. The yarn for the class is Laine Du Nord Watercolor Sock and Katia United Socks for the contrast. Sign up deadline is March 30th so I have time to make the tubes. Class is limited to 6 people. 


We will continue to be OPEN one Sunday a month. The Sunday we are open in February is the 18th from 11am to 3pm. 

Hope to see you then!
