Classes - Fall 2008

Beginner Knitting: 8 weeks, $120
9/8 - 10/27, Mondays, 7 - 8:30 p.m.

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.

 

Intermediate Knitting: 8 weeks, $120
9/9 - 10/28, Tuesdays, 5:30 - 7 p.m. or
9/3 - 10/22, Wednesdays, 7 - 8:30 p.m.

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.

 

Finishing: 4 weeks, $65
10/29 - 11/19, Wednesdays, 7 - 8:30 p.m.

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

 

Gloves: 3 weeks, $50
10/7 - 10/21, Tuesdays, 7 - 8:30 p.m.

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

 

Socks: 4 weeks, $65
9/9 - 9/30, Tuesdays, 7 - 8:30 p.m.

Crochet: 4 weeks, $65
11/3 - 11/24, Mondays, 7 - 8:30 p.m.

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

 

Backpack: 5 weeks, $85
10/9 - 11/06, Thursdays, 7 - 8:30 p.m.

General info:

The class fee does not include materials. Class fees are refundable up to three days prior to class start date.

How it works: You can contact us via e-mail, then mail or hand-deliver a check to the store (remember to give us your phone number), or call with a credit card to reserve your spot.

Or, come into the store and give us your name and phone number. One week prior to the class start date, we will call you with information and a date to submit a check to the store.

Your payment is your reservation. Classes are limited to 10 people--so the first 10 paid get into the class. Those that do not get into the class are placed on a waiting list.
