Winter Knit-Along
 This winter, Faye will lead us in knitting Elizabeth Zimmerman's Green Sweater (Ravel it here). Knit in the round and then steeked, this classic cardigan will give you the best of both worlds: stockinette stitch in the round with the challenges of the steek, a little different sleeve treatment and hemmed edges. Join us this coming Sunday as we cast on together, and plan to attend classes to help with the tricky bits. The cast-on session is free; the other three classes cost $15 each. Take a look at Faye's red Green Sweater in the shop - it's gorgeous!
- Cast on: Sun, Feb 7, 1-3pm
- Class #1 (Sleeves):

1-3pm
- Class #2 (Steek):
Sun, Mar 7, 1-3pm

Meet Elise Duvekot
Author of "Knit One Below"
 We are proud and excited to announce that author Elise Duvekot will be at VYT on Friday, February 19th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm for a wine and cheese tasting and to meet our knitting community. Elise will demonstrate the technique featured in her recent book Knit One Below: One Stitch, Many Fabrics.
Elise has reintroduced and redefined a simple stitch (knit one below) and developed a collection of unique patterns using this technique. She teaches us how the stitch works, what it looks and feels like; then shows us how it can be used to take advantage of its virtues. The technique is intriguing and the patterns are gorgeous, ranging from a gossamer shawl to a sophisticated jacket with a classic Chanel look.
This stitch creates a fabric that doesn’t curl, has a beautiful hand and, although the reverse side is different in its look, both the back and front sides are equally attractive. (See Faye's scarf sample in the shop!)
Elise says, “I hope this book will lend wings to knitters’ imaginations.” We hope many of you will welcome this incredible designer to the shop.
