Love Note Sweater Class with Gabrielle-Wednesday, September 22 from 6 to 7:30 pm (4 part class)
Go down the wormhole that is Ravelry or Instagram and look at all the lovely incarnations of the Love Note Sweater from Tin Can Knits. This sweater is so customizable...arm length, body length, a fingering weight and a mohair held together or just a DK weight by itself; there are just so many possibilities. We will be doing this class in 4 parts starting on September 22nd from 6 to 7:30 pm when we will be casting on and starting the neck. It is a provisional cast on, so if you have a provisional cast on you really like, use that, otherwise we'll teach you one. Then we give you until Wednesday, September 29th from 6 to 8 pm to do your homework, and that's when we start that lovely lace raglan section. You will then have 2 weeks to complete the lace section, then you will return on Wednesday, October 13th from 6 to 8 pm to separate your sleeves and body. We will have another class to go back and work the neck, but that we will decide on as a class. We are limiting this class to 5 people. Your $75 fee includes your pattern and instruction. You will need to provide your own yarn and needles, and a gauge swatch will be required before class. Gabrielle and I are both making our second Love Notes. We made summer sweaters for our first ones, now we are doing our winter versions using wools and mohairs and silks, oh my!

Beginner's Knit Hat Class with Jeanetta-Wednesdays October 20th and November 10th from 6 to 8 pm (2 part class)
You may be a novice knitter who has made enough scarves and dishcloths to keep your town warm and clean, but now you want to try knitting in the round and some decreases. This is a great class for that. I will teach you how to cast on and join in the round, and work the brim of your hat for the first class. In two weeks, you will need to return with your the body of your hat (your homework) completed and then we will conquer decreases, a decorative crown, and double pointed needles. The $65 fee includes your pattern, yarn, double pointed needles and instruction, and my personal guarantee that you all will leave with a finished hat! You will need to provide a US 9 (5.5 mm) 16 inch circular needles, a stitch marker and tapestry needle.

Boot Socks with Gabrielle and Jeanetta-Saturday, October 23rd from 11 am to 1 pm, and Wednesdays, October 27th and November 3rd from 6 to 8 pm (3 part class)
Socks are such a great item to knit. They are my favorite thing to knit! But those tiny needles and sock weight yarn can be intimidating for some. We have chosen a wonderful top down boot sock pattern by Tin Can Knits that is knit on US size 5 (3.75mm) needles and worsted weight yarn to help take some of the apprehension away. In the first class, we cast on in the round on double pointed needles and begin working the leg. In the second class, we work the heel flap and turn the heel and join back in the round. And in the third class, we will work the toe decreases and kitchener the toe together. The $60 fee includes your pattern and instruction. You will need to provide your own US size 3 (3mm) and 5 (3.75mm) double pointed needles and 220 yards of worsted weight yarn. This class is limited to 4 people.
Skills needed for this class: Good understanding of knit and purl stitches
