The Hen House has been doing a Knitting Block of the Month for 6 years and it gets better each year.  Each month you learn a NEW Stitch and technique that is incorporated into a great afghan, at the end of the year you have a wonderful project completed.  We can mail you block to you each month or you can pick it up in the store.  On the 3rd Saturday of each month we have a 30 minute overview of the stitch and what is new in the store. Join in on the FUN. 

2012 is the year to learn LACE, learn to read charts and learn 12 new lace stitches that we have incorporated into a great afghan, the cost for is $17.95 a month.  Also this year we are using a Florifil cotton yarn from Textured yarn company.  It is so soft and a great yarn to work with.  Check out their websire for the colors available, solid colors are best to show the Lace patterns.  http://texturedyarncompany.com/collection.html  for those who still want to use Wool we are also making the project available in Reb Barn Worsted yarns  see the colors available at http://www.redbarnyarn.com/page/lobelia.html

For those who did not do the Cable Sampler this year it is available one more time....see sample below...2011 was all about Cables - learn some great cable stitches you will use for the rest of your life.  The cost of the Cable Sampler is $20.95 a month, this includes your Yarn for the Afghan, and a Pattern.  This year you get to pick your color see the available colors below.  We are still taking registrations, sign up today...
