I offer a variety of knitting classes for adults and children; descriptions of each are below.
ADULT KNITTING CLASSES
CLINICS
Weekly sessions to get help with your current project. This small, informal clinic allows you to work at your own pace, get helpful advice, learn new skills, and share with other knitters. A great way to finish that project you put in your closet! During many of the clinics, I’ll showcase a knitting technique. For example, one week we might cover types of knitted ruffles; another week I’ll demonstrate a new cast-on method. Days of the week that clinics are offered vary each week but typically include one morning and one evening. Cost for the 2-hour clinic is $15.
LEARN TO KNIT:
In a one hour private knitting lesson, you will learn the basics of knitting and cast on a hat. I supply a short list of materials to purchase ahead of time. After that lesson, you then join the clinics (described above) The cost for the 1-hour private lesson is $30 for 1 person, $45 for 2.
CLASSES
Cats in the Hat
Learn to knit this hat that has rows of whimsical cats working stranded colorwork. You can choose fingering (original pattern) or DK yarn (I’ve updated the pattern). This is a great hat pattern that can be knit using corrugated rib, adding simple stripes, a folded brim, Latvian Braid – your choice. I will demonstrate all of these. The ability to knit and purl is required. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/new-cats-in-the-hat 3 class meetings Wednesday nights 7-9pm, October 16, 23, and 30, $50
Trapezoid Cowl
Knit this lovely cowl and experiment with color. It calls for a minimum of 2 colors, up to 5 – a great way to use up stash yarn. The pattern is knit in the round using short rows to form the trapezoid shapes which flow around the cowl. Choose wrap and turn or German short rows, I’ll demonstrate both. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/trapezoid The ability to knit and purl is required. 2 class meetings.
