Holiday Workshops

The hustle and bustle of the holidays is upon us! Take a 'time-out' from the frenzy and join us at Serendipity for some stitch therapy. Come down to the shop the first two weekends in December and learn a few new tricks - or get a gift project started. The cost of each workshop is $10 (+ materials) and preregistration is required. Space is limited to six participants on a first-come, first-served basis. (Please note that basic knitting and crochet skills are required for all workshops.)

Fair Isle Christmas Ornaments
11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Learn the art of Fair Isle knitting on these simple Nordic inspired holiday ornaments.

Magic Three Yarn Scarf
1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Grab three fabulous and different yarns - or three colors of the same yarn - and off you go, making a magically easy yet complex fabric.

Vintage Crochet for Throws or Scarves
2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

This beautiful rippled stitch makes fun striped scarves or a lovely afghan - or both!

Granny Squares
4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Bet you can't make just one - unless it's one really big one! A pillow is a great place to start and Noro's Silk Garden yarn takes all the guess work out of when to change colors.

Shoulder Cozy
1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

It's holiday's ultimate accessory: a capelet/cowl you can knit in an evening or two! Luxurious mohair and silk yarn makes this wardrobe staple extra yummy.

Fingerless Gloves
2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.<BR>
Classically styled fingerless gloves are quick and easy to knit. Knit them in luscious cashmere for a real treat, or use a sturdy wool tweed for daily use - either way, they're sure to please!

Felted Gingerbread Ornaments
4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

The knitting is as easy as pie - easier, actually. Once your knitted piece is fully felted, we'll help you simply cut your "dough" into jolly cookie shapes. Next, we'll help you decorate as desired with simple embroidery stitches. (Note: you must have your felted fabric ready to use for this workshop.)
