Happy Spring Folks! After a busy winter season at the shop, we are ready to swing open the doors and trade those heavy wools for breezy cottons & linens.
I’m beyond excited by the energy everyone is bringing to our new sewing classes! We are running the Beginner Series again this Spring - be sure to grab a spot if you are interested - it is a prerequisite to upcoming classes and sew-a-longs that we are planning. A HUGE thank you to our instructor, Betz White, for getting us all proficient!
In line with expanding our sewing options, I'm happy to share that Rabbit Row will be adding a pattern projector in the Loft soon. Patterns can be cast right onto your fabric, eliminating the need for paper patterns. This project is made possible in part by the QuickARTS grant program administered by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes and funded by the Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes, Inc. We will host some open studio days soon where you can test it out with us!
If you have the means, please consider a donation to the Knit for Food Knit-a-thon (link below). Food insecurity affects too many families and elderly neighbors in our communities. No one should have to go without food.
Lots going on in April - read on for more. . .

Our Spring Knit-a-Long: The Pelica Vest by Rosa Pomar
Knit seamlessly from the top down, this garter stitch v-neck vest creates a dense, squishy fabric—reminiscent of the warm shearling vests it was inspired by. The design is beautifully framed with i-cord edges all around, giving it a polished, professional finish. With instructions for both a cropped and standard version, it’s the perfect companion for high-waisted trousers or layering over your favorite linen tunics.
Pattern Details:
Techniques: Garter Stitch (that's only knitting, folks!), i-cord edging, and buttonholes. Pro Tip: We are even stocked up on the same classic buttons from the sample—be sure to grab those while you're here!
Recommended 🧶: a worsted-weight, woolen-spun yarn for that authentic, sturdy feel. Try our: Harrisville Highland, Mountain Meadow Cora, or one of our beautiful local yarns!
The Rabbit Row Perk 🎁:The pattern and pattern support are FREE when you purchase your yarn at Rabbit Row! We meet Sunday afternoons during #stitchcorning, but you can cast on whenever you’re ready to get cozy.
Stop by the shop to select your yarn and buttons and receive your pattern today!
