If you are interested in beginning knitting, we schedule private lessons during the week as well as Saturday mornings before the shop opens.  The cost is $30 for one hour of instruction; we encourage groups and offer hourly group rates as well.  In one hour of beginning knitting, one can learn how to cast on, knit and purl! 

The following is our Winter/Spring 2012 Class list:  Stop in today to reserve your place and pick up supplies since materials are NOT included.

Use this guide to help you select a class that would most improve your knitting skills:

*Adventurous Beginner  (comfortable with CO, BO, knitting and purling)...

**Advanced Beginner  (very comfortable with the above plus increases, decreases, and starting to read your knitting)...

***Intermediate/ advanced intermediate (very knowledgeable of all the above and very comfortable with fixing knitting mistakes)...


Knit, Swirl Cardigan with Natalie **

Saturdays, January 28, February 11, 25  March 10, & 24 from 11:15-noon for $60.00.

This will be the second time around for this class and the last class had swirl success!   We will have the Knit, Swirl trunk show in Mid January so come in and try some on to see what style and size is best for you!   You do not need to be very experienced to take this class; you just need patience for the first 3rd of the sweater is very tedious, yet simple. You will learn to interpret patterns, and many other knitting techniques.  You also have the option of learning to seam up your garment if you wish or Natalie is happy to finish it for you for $35-$55 depending on the style you choose.  

 

Basic Top-Down sweater with Tami *

Saturdays, January 28, February 11, & 25 from 12:30-2:00 for $45.00.

This class is good if you are ready to try something bigger than a scarf!   You don't need to have a lot of experience for this class either!   You get to choose from several styles of top down sweaters which eliminate seams, and you have the ease of knitting in the round.   You will take your knitting skills to the next level with this class!

 

Felted Clogs **

Saturdays, January 28, & February 11, from 2:30-3:30 for $25.00.

This pattern has been around for years and we just can't seem to find any house shoe that is more fun to knit and so durable to wear!   You will once again learn how to read more complicated patterns, how to do short rows, picking up stitches to make "bumpers" and seaming!  

 

Beginning Socks **

Wednesdays, February 1 (3:00-4:00), 15 (3:00-3:45), & 29 (3:00-4:00) for $45.00.

This is a must take class!   We have a new amazing patterning and it is done on a heavier yarn so your first pair is a quick success!   You will get to use double pointed needles and learn many shaping techniques.

 

Fair-Isle Tea Cozy with Tami **

Saturdays, March 10, 24, & April 7, from 1:00-2:30 for $45.00.

This is a great way to learn Fair-Isle and make the cutest thing ever for your tea pot!   You will also learn how to cut a steek at the end of this class, and the investment is only $11 of yarn!  

 

Knit your man a sweater Knit-A-Long! **

Fridays, February 3, 10, 17, 24, & March 2, from 11:30-12:30 for free!

This is NOT a class, but a chance for knitters to work on sweaters for the men in their lives together and ideally finish them in 5 weeks which is so doable! This"KAL" encourages knitters to help other knitters sort out their problems which many times is more beneficial than asking a pro.   We ask that you commit to coming to at least 3 of these meetings, and that you purchase your materials from our store.   We have some great top down sweaters, some more complicated classic styles, as well as the great book Knits Men Want which is funny and gives you insight on what to knit your man, and many easy wearable patterns to choose from.   We also have a wide variety of men friendly yarns to knit from for a variety of budgets.  


NOTE:  Materials are NOT included in any of the classes.

Remember:   No refunds on classes.   Classes must be paid in full to reserve a spot.    We reserve the right to cancel a class if less than three (3) people have enrolled.    If you cannot attend a class and will require more than ten (10) minutes to make-up what you missed, please schedule a private lesson at our regular rate of $15.00 per half hour.
