Hey All, these great classes still have spaces available! There are a bunch of new samples and yarns in the shop with these classes in mind so stop in and check them out to get inspired for the fast-approaching autumn season!
Two sweaters from the new Norah Gaughan collection (vol. 5 for those keeping track) have inspired classes, a vest, Hypatia, knit in the lovely Ultra Alpaca is a fun to kniw combination of texture and cables and just the sort of garment to transition you into fall; and an intriguing sweater, Anhinga, with unique construction and gorgeous drape.
Three sock classes are on offer, one to get you started with a basic technique -cuff down, double pointed needles, a second to teach an alternate method -toe-up, magic loop (which means using one, long, circular needle rather than double points or two circulars), and one in which you will learn to fine tune the fit and shape of your socks, allowing you to create the PERFECT SOCKS FOR YOU and breaking the bonds of patterns once and for all!
Three classes seek to teach new techniques: Entrelac Scarf is knit with a clever technique that allows you to achieve a woven look with no sewing! Your teacher will not only teach you the construction but to knit and purl BACKWARDS! A Fair Isle Hat will allow you to experiment with two-color stranded knitting on a small scale with a stylish beret as the result. The Lace Shawl class offeres three levels of difficulty, allowing the opportunity for students to learn basic lace stitches and then expand their knowledge with great support from the teacher.
And finally, the class everyone needs but who hardly anyone really wants to take, Sweater Finishing! It doesn’t sound exciting but the truth is, a beautifully knit sweater won’t look good on unless it’s been finished with care and knowledge. In this class Jolene will teach her students to sew seams like a pro.
We hope to see you very soon to look at new samples and new patterns and then to sign up for one of these great classes!
