"We All Make Mistakes!" Online Knit Mistake Class Saturday Afternoon 3/26
2022-03-26 13:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
Join us for a group Zoom Knitting Mistake Fixing class. I will e-mail a link for the class the day before. I have my iPad set up on a stand so that I can show you how to do things in real time. If we haven’t corresponded recently, I’ll send you a confirmation e-mail when you sign up, to be sure I have your correct e-mail address.
Turns out, really good knitters make lots of mistakes! While they rip out a lot, they also know how to fix smaller mistakes without having to. In this class you will learn how to fix a dropped stitch, mistakes in lace, texture, and cabled patterns, and to place lifelines. We’ll learn some techniques for dealing with mistakes that occur too far back for a simple fix. Bring your mistakes (and send me a photo or two of them) and/or a swatch knit as follows.
Swatch directions:
Cast on 20 stitches in light to medium color, smooth, worsted weight yarn (~4.5 sts/in), then do one half the stitches in garter, the other half in stockinette like this:
Row 1: Knit all stitches
Row 2: Knit 10, purl 10.
Repeat these two rows for a couple of inches and leave on the needle.
Bring any mistakes you would like to work on and a crochet hook F or G.

Knitting Style Sampler Class--1/28
2023-01-28 13:00
There are many different ways to hold knitting needles and manage the working yarn. Knitters often find that one or another method is more comfortable or that they like to switch off. Switching between methods can help avoid fatigue and discomfort. In this class you will have the chance to try continental, English (throwing), lever, pencil and Portuguese knitting. The first half will focus on introducing several styles of knitting. Students will choose one or two methods they would like to practice. We will try different ways of holding the yarn and have the opportunity to use knitting needles made with different materials.
In the second half we’ll review and work on improving the students’ chosen style(s). Students will then have a chance to try two-color knitting with one color in each hand.

Online Pattern Adaptation
2023-02-11 13:00 - 15:00
“I love that hat pattern and this yarn.” What do we do if the pattern is written for one weight yarn and the yarn we love is another weight? In this class you will learn the basics of modifying patterns to work with the yarn you want to use. We’ll talk about when it is likely to work well and when it’s probably not a good idea. And we’ll discuss which types of patterns are easy to adjust and which will take a bit of work and math. All you will need to bring is a pencil and a notebook; a calculator might come in handy too. If you would like, you can also bring a pattern that you want to learn how to modify for a particular yarn—and a swatch in that yarn, of course!

Online Introduction to Finishing and Seaming Techniques
2023-03-25 13:00 - 15:00
You will learn the necessary skills to seam your sweaters beautifully: blocking, mattress stitch, and working in ends. You will also learn tips to use in knitting your sweaters that will make finishing easier. As time permits, we will discuss setting in sleeves and picking up and knitting button bands and collars. Bring three approximately 4 x 4” worsted weight swatches knit in plain stockinette (knit one row, purl one row) and two knit in garter stitch (knit every row) to practice techniques on. If you have a sweater that needs finishing, bring that too. In addition to the swatches and extra yarn, bring a yarn needle and something to hold your pieces together: safety pins, plastic yarn pins, locking stitch markers, or small hair clips.

Online Short Row Sampler: Introduction to 5 Different Short Row Methods
2023-06-10 15:00 - 17:00
Short rows are what happen when you turn your knitting and go back in the other direction before finishing a row, or while knitting in rounds. Short rows add extra fabric where the extra rows are made, shaping it without increases, decreases, or bind-offs. They can add a three-dimensional aspect to knitting. Common examples include sock heels and bust darts We’ll start with the most basic garter stitch short rows, then move on to different short row methods vary based on how the holes from the turns are hidden.
In this class, we will make a circular piece of fabric (pattern free with registration), based on the Petal Dishcloth, that can be used as a hot mat or dishcloth, depending on what yarn you use. We will try at least 5 different short row methods, including Wrap & Turn, Japanese, German, Yarn Over, and Shadow Wrap, as we create the wedges of the circle.
