 Beyond the Basics   

You are knitting and purling to beat the band. What’s next? You are ready to sail into the world of changing colors, to twist and turn some cables, and to learn how to knit in the round. (Hint: knitting in the round means you can Just Say No to purling!) And, we’ll dabble in simple lace patterns! At the end of these three sessions you need no longer call yourself a Beginner. No more bunny slopes for you!

 Learn to Knit   

On the one hand, you have a scrumptious hand-knit sweater. On the other, you have two sticks and ball of string.

Figuring out how one of these things relates to the other can seem impossibly daunting. We were all there at some point and we are here now to teach you the basics. You will learn to cast on, knit, purl and bind off. If you know just those things, you can make, say, a fabulous scarf. But we’ll also show you how to increase and decrease and how to read basic patterns. In three short weeks, you will have acquired the foundational skills and plenty of confidence to go with them. You'll walk away from the class with an adorable small bag made of chunky yarn, handmade by you, tangible proof of all you will have learned!From this point you can happily knit for a lifetime. You can also start to build on your repertoire... and we’ll be here to help you with that when you’re ready.

 Toe Up Socks   
Toe-up sock class
 
Hand knit socks are the perfect, portable project. 
We will learn how to cast on the toe, turn a short row heel, do a sewn bind off, and knit using the Magic Loop technique.
We will also discuss knitting two socks on two circulars, (yes, at the same time!), and possible decorative stitches for the tops of your socks.
You must be comfortable knitting, purling, increasing, and decreasing.
If this is your first time knitting socks, or you've tried them before, try a pair from the toe-up, and you'll be itching to knit more!
