Top-Down Socks, Part B

Cost: $65 for 4 hours
Teacher: Kate
Dates: Tuesday, June 12th and 19th from 6-8 pm

Learn how to make top-down socks on double-pointed needles. Starting with a mini “training sock,” we teach you everything you need to know to knit socks – from working in the round to turning the heel to shaping the toe. Once you’ve mastered the mini, we get you started on your first full-size sock. Along the way, we share lots of tips and techniques, including easy ways to join the round – without twisting! – handling the gusset pickup, and a beginner-friendly no-graft toe. If you’ve not made socks before, this is the class for you. Kate also demonstrate Magic Loop and patterns provided permit use of both DPNs and magic loop.

Skill Level: Advanced beginner/intermediate – knitters must be comfortable with knit, purl, ribbing and decreasing; some experience working in the round is preferable but not absolutely required.
Materials Required: Scrap medium-weight yarn in a light color (included in class fee) and 4 or 4.5mm/US #6-7 DPNs and for the first week, and one skein of sock yarn with appropriate DPNs for the second week, available in store. Our staff will be happy to help you pick out your supplies before the class begins, if need be.

Lace 101

Cost: $45/2hrs
Teacher: Kate
Dates: Tuesday, December 5th from 6-8 pm

Unlike some fabrics that come and go with trends, lace has always had a place in closets, whether it is in shawls, hats, gloves, sweaters, cowls, or countless other garments; it has a unique and beautiful timelessness about it. In this class, we’ll get comfortable with several of the most commonly used lace stitches, learn how to read a few simple lace charts and written instructions, and discuss some of the most common mistakes and how to repair them.

Skill Level: Early intermediate, must be quite comfortable with knit, purl, casting on and off, and pattern reading.
Materials Required: Please bring 4.5mm or 5mm needles, scrap yarn will be provided.

KNIT MITTS: A Kate Atherley Book Launch Party

After more than a year of planning, designing, testing, and editing, Kate Atherley’s Knit Mitts book is almost on our shelves! Join us for the official launch party of this soon-to-be-classic book on Wednesday, November 8th at 6pm. Kate will of course be there to sign books, give yarn advice, and share a coffee and/or beer with us along with the regular stitch night activities.

PRE-ORDER DEAL: email us to pre-order your signed copy of Knit Mitts before Hallowe’en, and get 10% off both your book (regularly $30) AND yarn for your first project from the book!*

Having seen a copy in person, we can guarantee that this book is a soon-to-be classic and a necessity for every knitter’s library.  And we hear the woman herself is pretty happy with how it’s turned out.  Ever been mystified by how to get fingers on gloves to sit right, or just how to thrum a mitten? Maybe you’re looking to try colourwork in the round, or someone in your life has been begging for a pair of texting mitts. This is your chance to get all of those answers and more from one of the great living masters. 

*Book and yarn must be purchased at the same time in order to receive the discount.
