CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

PROJECT-SPECIFIC CLASSES...
Per your requests, we’ve added several project-specific classes to our schedules—ranging from 2 to 6 weeks in length, 2 hours per week. A specific project will be taught; and in some cases, you can customize your project. An example of a project-specific class is the Wrap Me Up Shawl.

MITERED SQUARE PROJECT (AFGHAN)

Learn to knit a mitered square and use up scraps of sock yarn at the same time. Learn to join the squares together as you go. If you don’t want to commit to an afghan, this technique can be applied to many other projects: a table runner, pillow or placemats are just a few of the many possibilities.

This workshop will be two sessions, three weeks apart. Bring fingering or sock weight yarn to class. You will need approximately 10 yards for each small square, please bring at least 30 yards to make 3 square. You will knit at least two squares and start on the third in the first session of class.
