Classes
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.
January 2010
Learn to Knit, Level I
Saturday, January 9th: 2-4 p.m.
OR
Monday, January 11th: 2-4 p.m.

Learn to Knit, Level II

OR
Monday, January 18th: 2-4 p.m.
Okay, so you can cast on, knit, purl and bind off. What's next? This session will be devoted to increasing, decreasing and learning to knit in the round. After this session, knitting a hat or a pair of mittens would be the natural next step.
One 2-hour session, $20.00. Materials included.

Cables
Thursday, January 14th: 12-2 p.m
Learn to knit this fun technique in one two-hour session. Cables are (surprisingly) much simpler than they look, but add so much character to a knitted piece. Some variation of these twisted stitches is essential to most traditional knitting motifs.
One 2-hour session, $25.00. Materials included.
Fingerless Mitts
Tuesday, January 12th: 12-2 p.m.
Tuesday, January 12th: 12-2 p.m.
OR
Thursday, January 28th: 12-2 p.m.
Find out what makes these small accessories so popular. We tend to think it's because they're fast, cheap and super easy, but we'll let you draw your own conclusions! Choose from two different patterns to suit your mood (and your level of commitment).
One 2-hour session, $20.00. Materials included.
Handcrafted, Not Homemade-
It's All in the Details
Wednesday, January 13th: 2-4 p.m.
One of the most important aspects of knitting isn't the actual knitting-it's the sewing, seaming & wrestling that some cleverly call "finishing". Knowing how to match up the proper techniques insures overall knitting success. This first session will put you at ease, leaving you to create pieces you're proud to call hand-knit. We'll be holding this class at least once a month, year-round; these techniques are essential for knitting success!
One 2-hour session, $10.00. (Contact us to find out what you'll need to bring.)
