Lori earns her PGK

Magpie’s is proud to announce the Lori Weavers has earned her PGK (Pretty Good Knitter) Degree and is officially the boss of her yarn!

how did she attain this great feat you ask? Well, following the Learn-To-Knit Afghan Book by Barbara G. Walker. She, along with other knitters in our Thursday Afternoon Technique Plunge, have been exploring many different knitting techniques to enhance their knitting skills.

Lori completed her afghan with a variety of great fibers in fall color tones. Her piece of work is absolutely breathtaking. Great job Lori!

This group continues to meet every other Thursday at 4:00 p.m. and is open to anyone who purchases the book, Learn-To-Knit Afghan Book ($19.99) and at least three skeins of yarn fro Magpie’s Cottage to get started.

Note: This group will meet directly before Thursday Night Stitch Together (free), so please stay and enjoy knitting at the cottage.

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!
