Hot off the UPS truck - “Kits from Skacel for Artfelting” Artfelting is a new felting technique that combines certain aspects of needle and wet felting with a new patented paper developed to ease the felting process. Appropriately named “Easyfelt” paper, this paper allows one to felt incredibly simple or complex pieces with nominal space and physical effort. It allows you to create a felted material that can be either thick or thin, precise or abstract, and it can all be accomplished with very little experience. – Everything you need starting at $44.99.

The Frog Tree Collection brings us the Easy Wrap pattern, yarn and buttons all in one. - Starting at $69.99

Claudia Hand Painted Yarn French Scarf Kits and the Cha Cha Kits just in! Imagine yourself wrapped in Boucle and Kid Mohair painted in beautiful colors! – Kits starting at $41.99

Happy Holidays!

Mr. and Mrs. Grimm LOVE Magpie’s so much, that even on the most important day of their lives, they couldn’t resist making a quick stop at The Cottage.

Hold on Knitting World…

6 more Continental Knitters are on the loose!

Again, one of our favorite instructors, Bobbie Kraft, took six novice fair isle knitters and taught them mot only to knit continental style, but fair isle too!

No one believed it could be done in only two hours of time – but each student left with a smile on her face and dreams of all the new knitting they could do with their new acquired skills.

You too can add to your knitting repertoire – please go to the classes page to persue our entire listing for the fall 2009 semester of Magpie’s College.

We look forward to seeing you at The Cottage!

School is in session and the first class (Take The Technique Plunge) gets an A+! Students learned the first chapter and tried out the Knit and Purl Combination Technique. This class can be joined at anytime, so if you want to take part, it is not too late. Immediately following, was our first Thursday Night Knit Night! We had a great turn-out and hope that everyone continues to come. We have room for more, so please stop in, bring your projects, take a seat and join in the fun! Thank you to everyone who participated.
