We
loved knitting our Christmas stockings last year so we're excited to
bring back this fun class! In this two-session class, you will cast on
the stocking and learn about turning the cuff, afterthought heels, toe
decreases and making I-cord. Plus, the best thing about knitting a
Christmas stocking is that you will not experience "Second-Sock
Syndrome!" Please come into the shop to purchase your pattern, yarn and
needles. It would be great if you could knit a swatch so you are ready
to begin your project during the class. Class size is limited, so please
sign up ahead of time to join us!

So
many of our clients loved the Christmas wreath that hung in the store
over the holidays that we decided to offer a class so you could knit one
for yourself! Your beautiful wreath can be knit using traditional
Christmas colors, like Jana's, or you can use the rich colors of autumn
for a stunning Thanksgiving garland. This
first session of the class will focus on knitting the leaves and
berries. In October, once you have knit all the leaves you need, we
will meet again to assemble the wreath, and voila, you will have a
beautiful wreath of you own!

a type of beaded cast-on, how to thread/add beads, as well as finishing
with a crochet
chain for the button loop. You will be able to make a stunning necklace
from start to finish, and you'll walk out wearing your newly created
piece. This is sure to be a fun workshop!

Join
us for this two-hour introduction to mosaic knitting! It may look

be able to knit a multitude of multi-colored projects. We will be knitting a two-colored
diamond scarf. The project is knit in worsted weight yarn and the
pattern is free with the purchase of yarn. Spend a Saturday afternoon

arsenal!
CustomFit Workshop: Gauge Swatches and Measurements
Call the store for an appointment!
$10.00
In
this hour-long workshop we will cover how to knit and measure a gauge
swatch for the CustomFit program. While you will knit your swatch just
as you do for a conventional pattern, there are a few differences in its
size and in how the swatch is measured. Knitting this swatch is about
the fabric you want to knit your sweater in, not how a standardized
pattern tells you how it should be knit. We will also take your
CustomFit measurements and enter them into the computer to be stored for
you.
Finishing
$30/Session
Bring your project and together we will make sure it is beautifully seamed.
