You'll always find some new fun project to knit (or crochet or weave or spin) at the Yarn Shop. Here are a few that folks really seem to like.
mountain shades

knitting with beads
Experience suggested: advanced beginnerLearn three different techniques to embellish your knitting with beads. The class project will be a scarf using fingering or sock weight yarns. The Yarn Shop's two-hour class costs just $20 plus materials with the pattern provided. Come in before class to choose your 200 yds of yarn and #6 beads. You'll also need size 5 knitting needles & a beading needle (both available at the shop).
light-as-a-feather mohair wrap

Our own UFO Queen has actually finished her Modern Quilt Wrap, one of the free patterns offered on the knittingdaily.com blog. While the pattern requires frequent color changes, the mitered square blocks are pretty simple and the wrap is knitted with a #7 needle. The Yarn Shop has a great selection of kid silk mohair so you can make your own. What a great early spring wrap for Charlotte weather!
peruvian purl
Peruvian PurlTake a class in Peruvian Purl — a terrific technique (pictured at right) that makes stranded knitting easier than you imagined. This is the technique that will make that fair isle knitting you've been reluctant to try seem like a breeze.
