A Note From Karen
Dear Makers,
It is with heartfelt gratitude that I say thank you for all the birthday wishes! So far, March is roaring – Sweater Camp began today, Building Blocks registration is open, Carolyn is teaching a Beginning Sock Class, and Becky is teaching a cast-on technique class, as well as the heavenly Yann cowl. Andrea Wong will return to teach her Portuguese-style knitting class. We are so excited that Mandy Root-Thompson will be here to teach a hands-on class about color theory. March may be roaring – but we have no expectation that April will come in like a lamb! We are making preparations for Local Yarn Store Day (Saturday, April 25). This is such a fun time celebrating customers who come into our brick and mortar store. Robin Richey and her Yarnbyrds truck are landing in the Knitting Temptations’ parking lot for LYS day. Look for sales, gifts and raffles from both Yarnbyrds and Knitting Temptations!
All the best,Karen

Dear Makers,
You are keeping Knitting Temptations a busy place! We are so pleased that many of you are participating in Sweater Camp I. Since we are starting on March 11, I encourage anyone who is interested to call the shop ASAP. Registration will close on Saturday, February 29.
For newer knitters or those who want to learn the new techniques, I suggest the Building Blocks! I am so excited that Carolyn, Becky and Beth are teaching this wonderful skill-building class designed by Michelle Hunter. In addition to increasing your knitting knowledge, you will expand your circle of knitting friends.
We have several new classes on the schedule. Becky will teach Yann, an elegant cowl using a light fingering weight yarn and mohair. It is stunning!
Are you stumped when trying to select colors that will work together in a project? Well then, Kaleidoscope of Color is the class for you. Mandy Thompson, a medical illustrator and instructor at the Columbus College of Art and Design will lead a “hands-on” class. You will have the opportunity to wander about the shop selecting colors and determining why they work together or fight with each other.
Please read more to find all the details for these exciting opportunities,Karen
PS – This beautiful shawl was knitted by our friend, Susan. Isn’t it amazing?

Dear Makers,
Isn’t it wonderful that there are so many ways to knit? There is no “wrong” way! Each knitter has a unique way of pulling yarn through hoops. However, there are different knitting methods! A particular method may be useful in a project, but that doesn’t mean it’s always the best way for every project! Plus, your hands might need a change! I encourage knitters to learn multiple methods!Earlier this month, Andrea Wong taught Portuguese-Style Knitting. This class was well attended and students loved her teaching style. If you missed this class, please let us know. We will check Andrea’s availability for repeating the session. In the near future, Andrea will be teaching Portuguese Knitting in Colorwork – a technique that you don’t want to miss. In addition, we scheduled a Continental Knitting class. It will be held on March 7 from 1-3pm and I will be the instructor.
In the meantime, read further to find more opportunities. Enjoy your knitting!

As promised, Knitting Temptations continues to add exciting new opportunities to our 2020 calendar! While the Ohio winter slugs its way to spring, we will help you focus on new skills, techniques and projects.
Last week, we introduced our first Gift Along (GAL) project. “Twistmas,” by Espace Tricot, is a quick and easy hat pattern to jump start the additions to your GAL trunk of gifts.
Upcoming opportunities include a “hands-on” color workshop with Mandy Root-Thompson and the first Knitting Temptations’ 12-week Sweater Camp.
Please continue to forward you suggestions. Knitting Temptations welcomes your input!
