Sandra McIver, designer extraordinaire

knit, Swirl! Uniquely Flattering, One Piece, One Seam Swirl Jackets

Dear Knitters,

Sandra McIver, Mendocino's designer extraordinaire, is stunning the knitting world with "knit, Swirl!", her premier book.

"knit, Swirl!" certainly sets the new high standard for knitting books. Sandra is active in our knitting community and Mendocino Yarn Shop is fortunate to be her local yarn shop.

We have kits for Sandra's designs with the very highest quality yarns. I have recently knitted Sandra's "Mink in Motion" in mink/cashmere with luscious results! I recommend that you enjoy Sandra's beautiful photo show at www.knitswirl.com

Happy knitting, Annelle

First class meets Saturday with follow up times/days to be determined by participants.
