In this class you'll learn to make a mitten, which teaches skills beyond those of other beginner knitting classes. Once you master these basics, you should be able to go on and make a sweater.
Since we've taught so many of you to be good knitters, we understand the importance of support through intermediate knitting classes. So we're offering two classes at different times to insure your participation. This is your next step after beginner knitting.
This class teaches you the expertise required to make your finished garments go from handmade to professional. We will cover the basics of sewing seams, picking up stitches and blocking, along with other elements of finishing so important yet often overlooked. Level: intermediate/advanced
Brush up your simple math skills for this glove making class. If you can add, subtract and knit in the round on DPNs, you have the skill sets to master this very fun project. It will take three weeks to do the math and learn the technique, so stop in to get instructions to knit the cuff before class starts. Level: intermediate/advanced
Learn the technical skills needed to make socks. This four-class course covers dividing stitches onto DPNs, turning the heel, and the Kitchener stitch. Level: intermediate/advanced
Make a fabulous hat and scarf combo in time for the winter chill. Come into the store to see a sample of this beautiful and useful project. Level: beginner/intermediate
Learn the basics of crochet and how to read a pattern. This class will focus on different patterns and edges. Since so many knitting patterns include crochet, this is an excellent course for those of you who knit, but need to hone your crochet skills. Level: beginner/intermediate
In this class you'll make a felted backpack. A great item you can carry for years to come. Make one in class for yourself and another for someone truly knit-worthy, for the holidays. Level: beginner/intermediate
