Fair Isle Yokes - the Shetland way!
From the early 1960s to the mid-1970s, garments featuring Fair Isle yokes were knitted in Shetland and exported by the thousands. After a lull, these distinctive designs have once again gained popularity—though production today is far smaller than it was 50 years ago. Despite the changing times, the traditional construction methods remain the same. Join legendary Shetland knitter Hazel Tindall for an in-depth look at Fair Isle yokes and how their construction results in a comfortable fit. Register now for this virtual journey to Shetland to kick off the New Year with Hazel Tindall!

Permanent Jewelry

Permanent jewelry is a piece of jewelry (typically a bracelet, anklet, or necklace) that does not have a traditional clasp, so it cannot be easily removed. Instead, the ends of the jewelry are soldered together while you're wearing them, creating a seamless look.

The Measure
By Nikki Erlick
Friday, January 23
2:00pm-4:00pm
A luminous, spirit-lifting blockbuster that asks: would you choose to find out the length of your life?
Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.
It seems like any other day. You wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and head out.
But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live.
From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise?
As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?
The Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters whose decisions and fates interweave with one another: best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, a couple who thought they didn’t have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately changes everything.
Enchanting and deeply uplifting, The Measure is an ambitious, invigorating story about family, friendship, hope, and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.

Sailor Slippers
Saturday, January 24
10:30am-1:30pm
$32
The Sailor Slippers are worked flat in stockinette stitch starting with the heel panel. Stitches are then picked up at the right side of the heel panel, cast on in extension and picked up at the left side of the heel panel. This forms the top of the slippers, which is knit from ankle to toe. From there, you will carry on knitting the sole from toe to heel. The top of the foot and sole are seamed together using mattress stitch, and the heel panel and sole are then seamed horizontally. The applied i-cord is then added to form the slipper opening, before washing and felting.
Price includes pattern and instruction. This is a knitted and felted project.
Materials needed:
Super Bulky Yarn and US 11 Needles - or size needed to obtain gauge.
