Two exciting events coming up in March. Scroll down to ensure you see both!
Be sure to call today to register...class sizes are limited!
GWEN BORTNER
The three hour classes will be $90:
- Numbers of Knitting. What do gauge, yardage and sizing have in common with fear, dread and frustration? Mathematics! This class will address the mathematics of swatching, gauge and yardage requirements with the math-phobic knitter in mind. You will learn how to adjust a pattern for a new gauge, calculate evenly spaced increases and decreases and make pattern adjustments based on pattern stitch requirements.
Sunday, 3/7: 2:00-5:00
- Two Right Sides – Double Knitting Basics. Double knit fabrics are often thought as one of the great mysteries of knitting. But reality is that there are only a few basics to get under your belt before you are ready to begin creating a double layer of fabric with two right sides. Learn the basics of two color double knitting including a simple cast on method, options for creating the fabric and a quick overview of working with color charts.
Monday, 3/8: 2:00-5:00
The one hour classes will be $35:
- Knitting in Both Directions. Most of us knit in one direction, but what would happen if you could knit in EITHER direction? Bobbles would pop out faster, entrelac would be even more fun and your yarn would be less tangled, and that is just the beginning. Some call it knitting back backwards, but regardless of the name, it is a great skill to have in your knitting arsenal. You can learn the basics to knitting in “the other direction” regardless of the way you knit now!
Monday, 3/8: 12:00-1:00
- They Want Me To Do What? Knitting patterns use a language all their own and there is more to it than just understanding the abbreviations. Learn tricks for translating the language of knitting, clues for decoding the “secret messages” and hints for making educated guesses when nothing else seems to work.
Sunday, 3/7: 12:00-1:00

YARN DYING CLASS (Sock Weight Yarn)
Tired of the same ol', same ol' every day common yarns that every one else has? Come and dye your own yarn! We will be having a yarn dying class on Sunday, March 21st, from 11:00 to 4:00 (or whenever you are done!) Choose from a plain yarn, or a yarn with silver sparkles...create your very own beautiful yarn. You will be the envy of all your knitting friends. Sock yarn is not only for making socks, you can also knit, or crochet, beautiful scarves. Check out our great pattern selections for both socks and scarves. Try that lace shawl you've always been wanting to try. 420 yards is enough to make a project you love!
Lunch will be ordered in (not included in the cost of the class), or you can bring your own. While the yarn is drying, you will have time to eat lunch, knit, chat...whatever you want to do.
Yarn is included in the class cost. Pre-registration, and payment, is required prior to the class. Call, or stop in, to sign up for the class...space is limited.
