"I think there is no great welcome for a new baby than a shawl as delicate as he or she is. I love the look of a wee face wrapped in exquisite lace stitches. Even the simplest of shawls looks better around a baby than it does around me, and I labor under the delusion that the baby will keep the shawl all of his or her life. I like thinking I’ve created an heirloom that will someday hold this baby’s baby.
It’s hard to think of any piece of knitting I could make that would be more worthy of baby puke.”

FEBRUARY WORKSHOP:
Sweater Workshop: Learn just about everysweater technique imaginable! The sweater sampler is knit from the bottom up in the round. You will learn how to fair isle, add a pocket, a belt, among other things. You will also learn how to measure your gauge, although gauge is not mandatory for the success of this particular workshop. Many knitters avoid sweaters because they don’t have a nice finished look. This will give you some tools to overcome that fear.
