Hands-on projects and lessons include:

• Cut knitted stitches, are you kidding? - Yes, strategically preparing for and cutting through a series of knitted stitches allows for a myriad of garment outcomes. This session covers a special process called steek stitches. We will talk about what they are used for, how to create them, and demonstrate what happens after they are cut.

• Short Rows – Knitting a few stitches, turning and knitting back the way you came results in interesting shapes. Check out this hands on class where you will work through a series of short row samples.

• Dropped stitches and holes, oh my! – During this session you will work through a series of exercises creating a dropped stitch and then repairing the mishap. The team will also demonstrate (an record) how to fix a hole in a knitted piece.

• You asked for more colourwork and here it is; in the round - For this session you will need a circular needle. You will work through a sample of double-stranded knitting stitches while joined in the round. You will even learn a process for making the join look like it is on the same row.

Shopping anyone? Uptown Yarns will join us with a beautiful selection of wool and tools.
