Adianna constructed this "Y"arn from scratch and decorated in her art class.  She donated her creation to the Fiber Art Shoppe for all of us to enjoy!   Great job!! 
 
Please e-mail Sherri if you would like to join our new "Knitting Next Steps" starting March 22nd at 2:30 - 4 pm.  In this class Dot will teach reading a chart using the "Nurmilintu Shawl" pattern.  As a bonus you will learn to make a picot edge.  Cost of the class is just the cost of materials.  You will have a wide selection of fingering weight yarns that work with this pattern.  Total cost of yarn for this shawl averages less than $25.00.   There are 3 spaces left in this upcoming class.  To reserve a spot e-mail sherri@fiberartshoppe.com.
