Create a festive Christmas stocking this year with Nancy Vandivert's expert help! Join us on Wednesday afternoons and learn how to knit your choice of two stockings. The Cardo Christmas Stocking is a classic design that is the perfect canvas for adding your own twist- add stripes, colorwork, cables, embroidery or leave it as is! The Chunky Knit Christmas Stocking boasts festive colorwork for a traditional fair-isle stocking.
No matter which you choose, you'll learn all the tools you need to create heirloom stockings for you and your loved ones.
An added bonus? You'll learn to knit a sock without having to worry about size or knitting a second one! :)

"I'm so excited to finally find my perfect local yarn store. They carry such an amazing range of yarns, from locally sourced to small batch sheep to skein to naturally dyed. I've been twice (so far!) and I'm always greeted so nicely. It doesn't feel clique-y or snobby as some shops do. Their range is really amazing and so far I've gotten sweater yarn and yarn for 2 different shawls here. Dawn is great with color advice too. Highly reccomend!" - Google Review
"I couldn't leave this shop a high enough score. 10000/10. The instant I walked in, I was given a warm greeting and was immediately helped. I went in for sock yarn but, was overwhelmed by all the amazing local yarn. I love that they have a direct relationship with their yarn artisans. She even stayed a few minutes past closing when I was having problems picking just one skein. Never felt rushed or like she wanted me gone. She took the time to make sure I was getting exactly the righ.t product and even put my skein into a cake That's an amazing service that I've never been offered before. I can't say enough good things about this place. Ill definitely be making the trip there more often!" - Google Review
