Come celebrate Halloween at the Neighborhood Knit Shop. We’re going to be having a Halloween Mitt-A-Thon all afternoon on Saturday, October 31st!

What’s a Mitt-A-Thon?

Our Halloween Mitt-A-Thon is the kick off to autumn and winter knitting … and more specifically, getting ready for knitting holiday gifts. What better gift than a pair of fingerless mitts!? — They’re quick and easy and friends and family with cold hands will certainly appreciate them!

Even better… any yarn purchased on October 31st (1-6 PM) to make fingerless mitts will be discounted 10% off! We’ll also have lots of great patterns for mitts, from beginner-level to more challenging.

Come sit and knit with us all afternoon and kick off your holiday knitting!

New Goodies at the Shop!

Stop in and see the fun new yarns we have! We’ve got new colors in Berroco Comfort and Comfort Chunky. We also have new, colorful Mochi Plus. And just in, we have a few more Tilli Tomas shawl kits in stunning bright red — the kits contain four different Tilli Tomas beaded yarns that are breathtaking!

Felted Clogs - Saturday, November 7th, 14th, and 21st (3-part class) at 1:00 PM
Great for men OR women, adults and children, these felted clogs can be knit plain or embellished and super fun! Let your imagination run wild!  They make great gifts too!

Never had your hands on yarn and knitting needles before, but always wanted to?!  Now’s your chance.  On Sunday, October 25th, beginning at 2 PM, we will be having a free knitting clinic at the shop.  We’ll have volunteers here to help you experiment with knits and purls and get a feel for how fun knitting can be!

If you can’t make it on the 25th, we have our beginner New to Needles class every Saturday morning at 10:30 AM.  The cost is only $10 and materials are provided!

If you’re not-quite a beginner, we also have lots of great “next-step” classes, such as our My First Hat class, which will be offered this Saturday, October 17th at 3:30 PM.  You’ll learn how to knit in the round and do some simple decreasing and other techniques to knit an adult or child sized hat!  (Perfect for gift-giving!)
