Greetings fellow knitters! This is my last blog posting from West Virginia! But not to worry...I'll keep you informed from sunny Florida. Yay!

It's almost November...you know what that means...only NINE more weeks to get your holiday knitting finished. But have no fear, The Nest had you and your hectic holiday schedule in mind when planning the class schedule for November and December. Check it out!

The first thing in our holiday line-up is a great three-project set you could make for one REALLY lucky recipient, or three!

If you are looking for a scarf with a little more length that the Anthro-Inspired Scarflet, but you don't want a traditional ribbed scarf, try out the Braided Scarf. This scarf combines ribbing with I-cord braids to give this scarf all the umph a person could want. This project will be taught in one class...we ALL have time for one class!

Tuesday, November 2nd @ 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday, November 30th @ 11 a.m.


Dress up your wine bottles (literally) with this adorable Wine Garb set. Make a hat and scarf for your wine bottle, then make a set for your favorite wine-loving friend. (And throw in a great bottle of wine to wear it!) This project is easy and quick, and requires only one class.

For the beer lovers in your life, help them dress up their beverage of choice with this fun little Beer Sweater! This is another quick 'n' easy project for busy gift givers.

For the special guy (or guys) in your life, make Jared Flood's Turn A Square hat. This hat is so beautiful, you may even want to make one for yourself! This is a two-class project, so be sure to sign up before the first one starts so you don't miss out! (This is a Jarrod Flood photo...kudos for your great pics Jared!)

Abby's done it again!!
Just look at this absolutely beautiful, AND very practical sweater! The Creature Comfort Sweater was knitted with Cascade 220 Washable, and both the pattern and the yarn are available...you guessed it, at The Nest! If anyone's interested in knitting this gorgeous sweater in a class, let us know. I've been dying to teach a sweater class, and this one is the perfect combination of easy and challenging.
