Interested in learning new skills and techniques?
We offer a variety of classes for fiber enthusiasts. New classes are added regularly so please check back and/or contact us to join our email list to get direct information. Please note that all classes, except beginning classes, require students to have a basic understanding of either knitting or crochet.
Please join us for these upcoming classes:
Rioja Shawl with Emily McNeil. This shawl, perfect in a fingering-weight yarn such as our One Foot Two Foot, uses several different basic increases and decreases to shape and add simple visual interest. Let us help you add a flirty, fun, elegant wrap to your winter festivities this year! Required materials are 100-150g One Foot Two Foot and 32″ US6 needles. This is a 1-session class and will meet October 18th, 5:30-7:30pm. Class fee is $25.
Oops! (& How To Fix It!) with Anne Barry. Anne, back by popular demand, will be teaching her Oops class again. Join her for an afternoon of learning how to survive those dastardly “Oh NO!” moments that happen to all of us. She will go through various techniques for identifying mistakes such as dropped stitches, unintentional short rows, and more — and how to fix them (or determine not to). Please bring a pair of US size 7 or 8 needles, and basic knowledge of knitting. This is a 1-session class and will meet October 27th, 1:00-3:30pm. Class fee is $35.
Baby Cables and Big Ones Too Sweater Knit Along with Fran Jepperson. This beautiful and unusual garment combines modern vanishing cables with two timeless classics, garter and stockinette stitch. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down and requires minimal finishing — always a plus!
Our knit along will begin in early November. More information soon!
Oops II with Anne Barry. Anne’s original Oops (And How To Fix It) class is so popular that we’ve asked her back for round two. This class is designed for advanced-beginner and intermediate knitters, and will include such topics as learning to “read” your knitting; how to find your place in a pattern; tricks for joining in the round without twisting or gapping; matching cast-ons to bind-offs. As a bonus, Anne will discuss stretching techniques to keep you loose while knitting. Please come armed with your current project and your questions! This is a 1-session class and will meet November 17th, 1-3:30. Class fee is $35.
Helix Cowl with Emily McNeil. Come play with easy lace and beautiful beading with this fun, intuitive lace cowl pattern. We used one skein of our Rosario Lace, a beautiful pure superwash Merino Wool, which knits up light but soft and cozy, perfect for tucking around your neck or pulling up over your head, hood-like. Makes for a lovely gift for yourself or someone you love! Required materials are 1 skein Rosario Lace, 24″ US size 7 needles, stitch markers, beads (if desired), and beading hook (if using beads). This is a 1-session class and will meet Thursday, November 29th , 5:30-7:30pm. Class fee is $25.
Knit One Purl Two with Anita Luvera Mayer. This workshop is an exploration of how to create unique garments featuring modules of free-form knitting/crochet and will include color studies, yarn selection, and methods of applique and beading. Each participant will complete a polar fleece scarf with modules and a reference notebook of color wrappings, instructions and handouts detailing the steps. Students will be given a list of required materials upon registration. This is a two-session class and will meet on January 12th and January 19th from 9am-4pm. Please bring a lunch. Class fee is $140.00.
