Those of you who know Caroline or follow her SockPixie <a href="http://sockpixie.blogspot.com/">blog</a> know how talented she is: she knits, she sews, she designs patterns, she spins, she dyes, she does it all (and I'm probably forgetting something). We love her work and her creativity. Caroline's latest project (apart from the tiny human she is incubating) is the sweet brown sweater and pants above (for said tiny human coming this fall). The pants are made from one of my favorite fabrics, Ukelele by Birch 100% organic. How adorable and I just love those toggle buttons! Stay tuned for a whole post devoted to Caroline's sweet sweaters..she's made about 4 so far by my count and more on the way...genevievehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06529969464422860090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581945508020338141.post-66346857156650704962011-05-30T09:21:00.000-07:002011-05-30T10:41:58.659-07:00Knitting and Crochet Classes start this week!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiETzsSRfVC4R72RP3foPWjshZ6wkFW2vsJhX5197iWIJGwGuY9nwLBhlAAKsemdsjVkrbiw4hA3VAp8cO4X-IKWoWvnqu5MOHn8Y3yv5uX1ew_FC_RqAwwRkCnWg7cZWsk8Y8BJpBmCw/s1600/IMG_1651.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiETzsSRfVC4R72RP3foPWjshZ6wkFW2vsJhX5197iWIJGwGuY9nwLBhlAAKsemdsjVkrbiw4hA3VAp8cO4X-IKWoWvnqu5MOHn8Y3yv5uX1ew_FC_RqAwwRkCnWg7cZWsk8Y8BJpBmCw/s320/IMG_1651.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612564687219452546" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">(Photo above is our afterschool knitting club with the fabulous Kendra...don't they look crafty?)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Two beginner knitting classes start this week: </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Wednesday mornings from 10:15 to 12:15</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "> Saturday mornings from 10:30 to 12:30.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">For the <b>advanced beginner knitter</b>, a Magic Loop sock class starts this Wednesday evening from 6:00 to 8:00pm.

We can't wait to do it again next year...(knitted flowers...quilted rainbows??). </span></span></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhReNFoh-fQv_avvzqxtnakdyajXm8VkdwUrZbFtYagtO_Q6HCxVLwz3iSsuIXLwjLj35jynRR1l6qogrw1Aa1VXsqol8YBRFsAoeLUYSQ8dhXi1cQ_EDC7PqbyDO5FC07x6C_23rlXbPU/s1600/IMG_0510.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhReNFoh-fQv_avvzqxtnakdyajXm8VkdwUrZbFtYagtO_Q6HCxVLwz3iSsuIXLwjLj35jynRR1l6qogrw1Aa1VXsqol8YBRFsAoeLUYSQ8dhXi1cQ_EDC7PqbyDO5FC07x6C_23rlXbPU/s320/IMG_0510.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604802664705126306" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Iris + Thalia warming up a light pole.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitIhFt9qUSvIlJjyFbqJDpbmek80wYA2V0U63cWPLCNwyUuMmDY3-PYGHlqkd68btePIPERuZn3CyTJH54vyT8ZqfoQYITaiMovz4DD_8eNDvaNdwVTa_xOWkDH8SKFthqcDksOyYTQ1s/s1600/IMG_0511.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitIhFt9qUSvIlJjyFbqJDpbmek80wYA2V0U63cWPLCNwyUuMmDY3-PYGHlqkd68btePIPERuZn3CyTJH54vyT8ZqfoQYITaiMovz4DD_8eNDvaNdwVTa_xOWkDH8SKFthqcDksOyYTQ1s/s320/IMG_0511.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604802657936051090" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Natalie + Stephanie with one of the fuzzier versions...</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Check out our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/JP-Knit-Stitch/166333220051979">facebook</a> page for more pics of the pole slipcovers.</div><div><div><div><br /></div></div></div></div>genevievehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06529969464422860090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581945508020338141.post-63266004070890132942011-05-06T07:56:00.000-07:002011-05-06T08:25:24.568-07:00First Thursday in May<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3BAGY0kzIDhcu_AhiExdwFOUvQDrnv1U63eUHB5JHaSc5tpzINC97aTzIsIUa2CzQoA5LmHQOdJ6Iv622xWX_UIwqt7ILwoehd3QTku0WHgzZ1XaNTLGnlIIcdb8PWltnbuAuQjkHPWA/s320/IMG_1504.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603617883019074002" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div>We had quite a turnout yesterday for First Thursday.

Debi had come in a few weeks ago to buy some fabric for a dress she wanted to make for a wedding in Texas. She had the Colette dress pattern Chantilly (we LOVE Colette and carry a range of her beautiful dress/skirt/top patterns in the store) and bought 2+ yards of the soft and drapey Anna Maria Horner voile...the photo does not do the fabric or the dress or the sewing justice! But here she is in her beautiful spring dress...that...she...made...herself...perfect for that summer-y wedding in Texas. <div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpC06vRvbtbZn7wp9MYclZnWYi113CNSpxRNooWIsx5eU96HLFewTr_NmDQNOFYUHUdVCoYmV_XvmBuW7do2i_M1og_ssZZ07v2dL1Cd4e_qL8V25zwbos1v1fh-IvgPanUQ5LImxgS5Q/s1600/DSC01011.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpC06vRvbtbZn7wp9MYclZnWYi113CNSpxRNooWIsx5eU96HLFewTr_NmDQNOFYUHUdVCoYmV_XvmBuW7do2i_M1og_ssZZ07v2dL1Cd4e_qL8V25zwbos1v1fh-IvgPanUQ5LImxgS5Q/s320/DSC01011.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600366207563726754" /></a>Don't forget the matching clutch (free Amy Butler pattern <a href="http://www.bhg.com/crafts/sewing/accessories/clutch-purse-with-antique-pin-closure/">here</a>).</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSsnoz7Rxgp7L-Ln2dN1dCz6-dC3_XZv69703CQBYXI38UeGV7lMmyw0zU0-OMJKEwEbm7S1J0x5UxJSNTY3A0IzxuBSijw_OpPfeiD6ARafh-EdwRDpDBC9f9ShDKByHtIsUp2Llm2zU/s320/DSC01000.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600366201310293538" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">Like all things worth doing, this dress required a little work: </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">"</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Futura;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">My measurements did not fall into one particular size, and Colette patterns are written for a C cup, which would be too big for me.

Check out our <a href="http://jpknitandstitch.com/">website</a> for more information and details...
