Class Descriptions
Drop
in classes
These classes are available three times a week during the fall and
winter seasons and are open to knitters of all ages and skill levels! This is
the time to come in and learn to knit, get help on your project or even learn a
new technique. We will teach you anything you would like to know! Each student
works on their own projects individually and the teachers come around and help
with whatever problems arise or with whatever questions you might help. There
is always a great amount of one on one time spent with each student as needed.
We do not take reservations for drop in classes- come when you can and
don’t worry about being right on time! We accommodate everyone and their own
unique schedules.
Magic
loop circular knitting- Oct 4
Never use double pointed needles again! Magic loop is a fantastic
technique that uses one long circular needle to knit in the round eliminating
the use for double points! You can use this technique to replace any project
that calls for double pointed needles such as socks, mitts, fingerless gloves,
sweater sleeves and even for the tops of hats!
Bring with you: Worsted weight yarn and circular needles to match in 32” or 40” length
Skill level: Enthusiastic beginner! Must know how to knit and purl

“I
can’t wear that colour!” (Not just for knitter’s!)- Oct 11
Let colour do the talking as we share all about… colour families,
hard to wear colours, universally flattering colours and variegated colours in
yarns and fabrics. Learn how to envision colours in a project and recognize
colours you love that don’t love you back and how to work with them. Working
with fabric samples and colour wheels you’ll make a personalized go to colour
list. We’ll swatch with different colours including hand-dyed colours, talk
about washing and blocking different colours and discuss the dying process that
goes into creating all them. See if the colour you love will work for garments
you can actually wear. Maybe the next time you think, “I can’t wear that
colour!” you just might be wrong!
Bring with you: Notebook
& pen/pencil and an open mind
Skill level: All skill levels welcome
Fibre is Your Friend (Not just for
knitter’s!)- Oct 18
There’s so many exciting knitting fibres available
today, let’s get familiar with all their properties and figure out what to use
and where! We’ll talk animal versus plant fibres and get familiar with
where you can and can’t substitute fibres called for in a pattern and how to do
this properly. Learn about super wash wools versus feltable wools and the
universal myth of wool allergies. Create fibre swatches using everything from
acrylic to bamboo and merino to alpaca, and then discuss their unique
properties and how to care for each one. This session will completely change
the way you shop, and look at yarns.
Bring with you: An assortment of knitting needles and any yarns from your stash that you would like to test or fibres that you are unsure of their content
Skill level: All skill levels welcome
