A big Thank you goes out to all of you who helped out with the helmet liners.. We collected 145 liners and they are off. Anna picked up on Wednesday for delivery Just in time for Christmas. I have to apologize though, there was no time for pix. Anna had to leave quickly. But hey we managed to get an okay from Anna to keep on knitting liners, cause she will keep on delivering to the troops. Therefore knitters keep those fingers busy and knit up some more.

Nonnas customers are a special breed we are so proud to know you all!

mittered squares

okay this Saturday at 3:00 and a repeat on the following Thursday 1:30 we are going to have a long awaited aspecial class. We will be designing our very own jacket/cardi. Again you choose the yarn and some of you already have done so and you will design this jacket/cardi using mittered squares. In this first class you will learn all about mitters how you can customize the sizes that you need and where to place them. Please bring in graph paper and pencil and ofcourse the needles and yarn for your jacket/cardi.

There will be two more follow up classes one in December and one in January to help you along the way. Each meeting will be a new step to discuss.

Therefore if you haven't signed up call in to Nickie and see if there is any space left. We are keeping it to 6 students per class.

Hope to see you there!!
