Spring is here finally and as always the Wab has lots going on.

Firstly we have a brand new workshop on May 25th from 1-4pm with our newest instructor, Madeline called the Mobius Cast-on. This cast on which was invented by legendary knitter, Cat Bordhi is an amazing method for those knitters who are serious about “out of the box” knitting. It can be used to create geometric shapes as well as infinity scarves, sling bags, nesting bowls and much much more.

Another great workshop you won’t want to miss is fast approaching. For the first time ever, Gen from Turtlepurl yarns will be teaching how to make self-stripping yarn in our in-house dying studio. Colour work is always uplifting but with someone as fun as Gen it’s bound to be a blast. You won’t want to miss out. So join us June 1, 11-2pm.

What else? Spin Night is cancelled for the summer. But don’t worry as soon as the autumn leaves return our Friday night spins will be back.

Looking for something to do Saturday May 25th? Visit the Wab at Arts Park in Hintonburg. We’ll be giving a demo of how to make your very own Flower Beanie planter and be selling kits. Plus we’d love to see you. You know we like a good chin wag.

Last but not least, National Knit in Public Day is fast approaching. What are you going to do on this lovely day? Keep your ear out for the latest Wab news as we’re preparing to have a super fab day.

This book which features an array of spectacular designs, is a must-have guide for knitters that want to learn how to design and draft their own patterns. beautifully crafted with great photographs, knitters will want to keep this classic in a special place so their friends won’t steal it.
