Anatomy of a Knitted Sock
Sock Anatomy 101: Learn to Knit Socks (Cuff Down)
2 Classes, 4 hours in total
Dates: Tuesdays, 7th & 14th May 2013, 6:30pm to 8:30pm
Cost: €50 (includes yarn). Please bring a set of 2.5mm double pointed needles
or these may be purchased at The Constant Knitter.
Handknit socks may appear complex, but once you break them down to their basic
elements, they are simple and straightforward. If you can knit and want to
demystify the techniques of ”turning a heel” and ”toe shaping” then this a great
class to start with.
In the first class, you will start with a mini sock using double pointed needles.
Then in the 2nd class, you will easily transfer the skills used in knitting the mini
sock to confidently knit your first pair of socks.
A €20 deposit is required at time of booking.

Victorian Spinning Wheel
Mervyn from Yeats Country Antiques on Francis St brought this over to the shop a few days ago to let it hang out here a while. It is only 30″ high. The picture really doesn’t do it justice – it’s patina is truly beautiful. I think it might need some work though……

Hand Felted Teacosy
Niki will be showing students how to make felted tea cosies next Tuesday (15 January 2013) morning and evening. Tea cosies are, in my opinion, so beautiful and practical. You can bring along any decorations you’d like to add, for example buttons, beads, ribbon or any little thing that is precious to you.
Another great reason for making tea cosies is to support The Constant Knitter Tea Cosy Competition! The proceeds of the competition will go St Bridgid’s Primary School in Dublin 8. (Actually the tea cosies can be made however you like – knit, crochet, felt, sew, quilt – in fact whatever you want to do is ok with us). And for the coffee drinkers, caffetiere cosies are also welcome.
Details of the competition and entry forms can be downloaded from www.theconstantknitter.ie – just get the cosies to us by 31 January. They will go on display here in early February and there will be prizes!
Cost for the class, including materials, is E30. Please bring a big towel and bubble wrap if you have it.
To enrol, please contact Rosemary on 087 996 7197 or info@theconstantknitter.ie

HiyaHiya sharp stainless steel interchangeable knitting needle set
I wanted to have something a bit different here in the shop so here is HiyaHiya!
The HiyaHiya interchangeable knitting needle sets include both interchangeable cables and tips. They feature keyless screw on cables.
Each set includes a practical and portable brocade case and needle grips to help secure the tips and the cables.
One set contains the smaller size tips as follows : 2.75mm; 3.25mm; 3.5mm; 3.75mm; 4mm; 4.5mm and 5mm. Also included are 4 cables to make needles that are 16″, 24″, 32″ and 40″ in length.
Another set includes the larger size tips : 5.5mm; 6mm; 8mm; 9mm and 10mm, together with the same cables as above.
There is also a very high quality and attractive range of HiyaHiya notions, most of which we have in the shop. Have a look at the Dumplings !
