Beginner Knitting
& Refresher Sessions
Would you like to learn to knit? Do you know how to knit but need a refresher on how to cast on? Would a reminder of how to purl make you pick up your needles again and finish that ancient project? Any or all of these things can be accomplished by attending our beginning knitting sessions. Each class is 2 sessions, and you’ll learn to make these adorable hand warmers! Maximum of 6 per class.
Two Saturdays, April 13 & 20 | 10:00 am – Noon | $45
Taught by Deb Cech.
Advanced Beginner – Knitting
Advanced Beginner: You know the long-tail or knitted cast-on, knitting, purling, and binding off.
RIPTIDE SLIPOVER
Slipovers (sleeveless sweaters) are a super popular style today. Fashionably cropped, regular length or tunic length; a light summery yarn or something a little more cozy. There are many options and so many ways to wear this piece.
Riptide has lovely features. It is knit from the top down in one piece, so the length can suit you to a T. You’ll learn short rows, picking up stitches, and casting on stitches to join in the round. A pretty stitch pattern decorates the front and back and an added texture pattern flows from the self-finished armholes down the sides and into the split hem.
A great spring project, and you’ll have a wonderful piece to wear all summer and fall!
5 Tuesdays, April 9, 16, 23, May 7 & 21 | 6:00 – 8:00 pm | $70
Taught by Deb Cech

Intermediate: You are proficient in all the Advanced Beginner skills, plus knitting in the round and basic finishing techniques. You should have completed several successful projects using these techniques.
MAGIC LOOP SOCKS
Learn the magic loop (or use double-pointed needles if you wish) and classic sock construction while you knit this great top-down sock. Do shorties or regular length, worked in DK-weight yarn. We have an array of Zauberball Starke 6 (meaning DK weight)colors for you to choose from. You’ll have an outstanding pair in no time!
3 Tuesdays, April 30, May 14 & 28 | 6:00 – 8:00 pm | $55
Taught by Deb Cech
FOREST WEAVE TEE/TUNIC
Tee-shirt length or tunic length? Short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves or long sleeves? You decide!
Cables separated by deliberately dropped (!) stitches create the lovely woven bands that make this summer tee so striking. Worked sideways, with cleverly placed open-work, you’ll find this top interesting to knit, with stretches of relaxing and straightforward work interrupted by lots of cable-y fun. I can’t wait for warm weather!!
5 or 6 Sundays | April 14 & 21, May 5 & 19, June 2 & ? | Class starts at 2:00 pm, length will vary | $75
