Classes

What Are You Working On?
Learning how to get from Point A to Point Z isn’t always a clear path through the myriad of knitting trails, what with all the ssks, MBs and pssos. Classes and formal instruction, paired with “stick-to-it-ness”, (and sometimes a rather large glass of wine!) can help to navigate the way toward finished pieces you’re proud to call hand knit.

We’re in the process of setting up our class schedule for Fall 2008. Class times will vary to incorporate both evening and daytime classes, as well as a mix of mid-week and Saturday sessions.

Classes previously held at Inish Knits include:

  • Acorn Mittens
  • Baby Booties
  • Continental Knitting & Purling (suggested as a warm-up for Fair Isle Knitting)
  • Dye Your Own Yarn
  • Gauging for Success
  • Fair Isle Knitting (also known as “Two-Color” or “Stranded” Knitting)
  • Felted Slippers
  • Folk Mittens
  • Handcrafted, Not Homemade—It’s All in the Details

Interested in a special technique or pattern? Need a two-hour refresher course? We can structure a class around any area of interest. Get a group of four together, and we can tailor sessions to suit your schedule. Find it hard to learn in a group setting? Private lessons are always welcome.
