We've been working hard on some new designs for Spring and they're here for you to enjoy now! Carmella is a lovely tunic-length cardigan that flatters with it's princess-line lace inserts and flounced 3/4 length sleeves. Knit in our new Cascade Ultra-Pima cotton, it's elegant shape is rivaled only by it's cool comfort.

Olivia is a pretty empire-waisted tee that goes anywhere on pretty much any-body. Flattering to a multitude of body shapes, the sweetheart neckline and fluttery sleeves promise a beautiful way to beat Summer's heat.

We’re planning a trip to Portland, OR this May!

Join Joan at Abundant Yarn and Dyeworks the evening of May 13th for her "Whip Your Knits into Shape" class!

If you’re a difficult fit, this class is for you. Adding designer shaping touches to your knitted garments is easy once you know a few simple rules and how to apply them. Flatter your figure by shaping any garment as you knit it. Darts, ease, and short row shaping are all important elements for a custom fit. Learn which ones to use to play up your specific body type to it’s best advantage. Students will come away with a complete set of their own body measurements and the skills needed to customize knits to fit their shape.

Call (503) 258-9276 to make your reservation.

******************************************************************************************

White Lies Designs will also be at the Spring Knit & Crochet Show at the Doubletree Hotel in Portland, Oregon, May 14-17, 2009.

Come and enjoy classes, workshops and a market brimming full of knitty goodness!

We’ll be in booth # 28 and look forward to seeing you there!
