Top-Down Socks, Part B

Cost: $65 for 4 hours
Teacher: Kate
Dates: Tuesdays, January 24th and 31st – 6-8pm

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, August 23rd – 6-8pm

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.
