You’ll learn tons of skills while you create family heirlooms: picking up stitches, magic loop, increasing and decreasing, color-jog technique, i-cord, duplicate stitch and more! Come in to see our samples – they are too cute and fun to make!

• Armenian Knitting

  4 workshop classes: $80

  

  This elegant color knitting technique produces a hybrid between Fair Isle and Intarsia with a speckled effect with main and contrast colors.

• Color Knitting

• Introduction to Entrelac

  4 workshop classes: $80

  

  Entrelac (French for latticework) is the exquisite technique used to create a textured diamond pattern. While the end result resembles basket-woven strips of knitted fabric, the actual material comprises interconnected squares on two different orientations. Come in to see the shop models! Project choices are scarf or wrap.

• Magic Loop Socks Class

  3 workshop classes: $75

  

  The perfect next step for a Beginning Knitting graduate! Socks are a small, compact project, which require several new skills to learn. An architectural phenomenon in knitting, we’ll show you the latest innovation of making socks without using double pointed needles! We will take the mystery out of the Magic Loop and teach you all you need to know to make socks. A great class for all levels of knitters and for those of you who plan to take Seamless Sweater! You will learn a lot!

• 2 Magic Loop Socks at the Same Time

  3 workshop classes: $75

  

  Only for students who have completed Magic Loop Socks. Why make socks (or fingerless gloves, leg warmers etc) one at a time when you can make them at the same time! This method will greatly increase your speed from casting on to Kitchener stitch

• Cables-n-Lace

  4 workshop classes: $80

  

  Intimidated by lace work? Don’t be! We’ll show you the basics of lace patterning while you make a gorgeous throw. Even the most intricate patterns are based on these simple and beautiful techniques. You’ll be ready for anything afterwards.

Pattern Play can also be done using DK weight yarn to make a baby blanket version!

• Beginning Crochet

  4 workshop classes: $80
