Upcoming Classes

Kate Atherley is offering two BRAND NEW classes on Steeking and Shawl design this summer!

Shawl Design: from Idea to Reality

Tuesday, August 21st from 6-9 pm ($55)

For adventurous knitters looking to expand their skills and get creative! This class explains key shawl shapes, and how to make them your own with stitch patterns and custom design details. We’ll talk about yarn choices, different types and styles of fabrics and how they affect the shape, lace motifs, and everything else you need to know to bring your shawl to life.

Steeking: It’s Not So Scary

Tuesday, July 10th from 6-8 pm ($45)

It may well be the scariest thing you can do with your knitting… taking a pair of scissors to it! Steeking – cutting a piece of knitting – is on many knitters’ “bucket lists”, and this class is any easy way to learn about it, and to take the fear out of it. We’ll talk about the hows and whys of steeking, discussing different methods of reinforcement and edging. Whether you’re a keen colourwork knitter looking to take your skills to the next level, or just curious what the fuss is about, this class will explain it all!

Featured Yarn

You asked and we answered, meet “Cabot Trail” by Trailhead Yarns, out of Ottawa. This hand-dyed, 100% vegan Tencel laceweight is more beautiful than can be believed. Knit it doubled for a fingering weight, or leave it as is and make some beautiful lacy summer wear.
