The Talented Sivia Harding

Sivia was one of our first visitors when we opened our Point Grey store over 3 years ago. She's been teaching lessons for us ever since.

Sivia is both a talented designer and instructor. She designs beautiful lace and beaded knitting patterns. We received a big shipment of her patterns this week, including the Gothic Leaf Stole, the Angel Pearls Beaded Scarf, the Hanging Garden Stole, the Follow the Leader Faroese Shawl, the Shetland Garden Faroese Shawl and the gorgeous new Waves in the Square Shawl. If you're a lace knitter, you will adore these patterns.

If you'd like to learn how to knit lace, you should register for Sivia's new class, "Lace Knitting for the Adventurous Beginner" on Wednesday evenings, Oct. 17, 24 and Nov. 7, 7-9 p.m. You'll learn how to knit her popular Diamond Fantasy Shawl. Check out the Yarn Harlot's review of this shawl. She gave the pattern a "10 out of 10". Cara called it the most gorgeous thing she's ever knit. You'd better make time for this class...
