Is it free?
Generally yes, but if you are happy with the result and feel inclined, same as in our Knit Cafe, you may donate a couple
of bucks which we will pass on to Rotary's Polio Plus fundraising campaign. We help you making this donation,
too! Both owners of the Needle & Arts Centre are Rotarians. Contact us if you want to learn more about Rotary and the
world wide Polio campaign.

New: Online Waist Shaping Calculator
by KnittingDaily, for curvy Waist Shaping;
This little wonder widget takes you through the steps of Waist Shaping and does the
math for you! It asks you for all the pertinent information: stitch and row gauge, hip/waist/bust measurements, desired ease,
and the necessary vertical measurements, then gives you stitch counts, row counts, and fills in the blanks for such things
as "work decrease row every X row Y times."
Click below and get also more information about using this calculator.
