Black and Gold for Knitters too – Yes, here in Pittsburgh – no one is immune from the disease know as Black and Gold Fever – even in places where you might not think sports fans dwell – like a knitting shop! Check out the new display from Natural Stitches – located on Penn Ave in the Trader Joe’s plaza – they have a wall of black and gold yarn – just in time for football season. We are eager to see what kinds of things are knit out of that yarn. (Photo – Natural Stitches Blog)
Tugboat Printshop: DIY SHOW POSTER! – Check out this great posted that Tugboat Printshop created for the Society of Contemporary Craft’s newest exhibit – “DIY A Revolution in Handicrafts” – I have seen these posters hanging up around town and I hope I can pick up one for my walls at home. Tugboat Printshop is located in Lawrenceville but their works can be found around the country and they even have some pillow designs in Urban Outfitters. (Photo – Tugboat Printshop Blog)
New Place to Eat and Drink in Pittsburgh – Salt of the Earth – Now Open – Salt of the Earth a new restaurant from Kevin Sousa opened on Monday night. It has been really interesting to follow the set up of the new space on Penn Ave – they have done a great job sharing photos and stories on their blog, twitter and Facebook – looking forward to visiting soon.
Always wanted to learn to knit? Here is your chance to get a free lesson (and some free dinner) and to check out the Fe gallery in Lawrenceville.
CommuniTeach is a website that is co-founded by a Pittsburgher one of his friends in Chicago. The idea is to create a website where people can share their skills and learn new things. Communiteach offers Learn-its on all kinds of things from guitar lessons, yoga, cooking, knitting and more.
This Wednesday, CommuniTeach will host scarf knitting for absolute beginners – the class is free and includes supplies and dinner. This is the last chance to see the current exhibition, “Scissors,” which closes right after the knitting.
