Class Schedule
at the Knitting Garage
January 2015

So,
a new year has started and with that lots of opportunities to try something
new.
Learning
and growing should never become stagnant; there is so much to absorb...
Of course knitting can be one of the challenges you may want to look at (and I am willing to needle you on with this).
If you are not a knitter, think about learning to knit or crochet; especially if you don't use your hands much at work. Learning to do a tactile art-form may help you to feel more balanced in yourself (yes, discover that Inner Knitter!)
If you already knit, think about expanding your knowledge and ability. Learn to knit in the round, knit lace, knit Fair Isle, brioche...
Whatever you end up doing in the New Year, don't forget that life is supposed to be enJOYable, so put aside your worries some times during each day and have FUN.

Individual Projects:
These
classes are held twice once on Wednesday morning 11am to 1pm and on the
following Saturday from 10am to 12noon (dates are indicated). The cost of $40 per class includes the
pattern and any additional help needed to finish the project. Prior sign-up is necessary for the class
during the week on Wednesday and recommended for the Saturday classes, but
additional walk-ins are welcome Saturdays with a maximum number of four
students per class.
January 21st and 24th The simplest mitts you’ll ever knit (for the new knitter; no previous knowledge
needed)
You will learn the Brioche
Stitch. Yes, brioche is not just something
to eat, but also a stitch you can use to make this yummy cowl. I will teach you the provisional cast on, the
brioche stitch in two colors or alternatively in one color and you will learn a
special Kitchener stitch used to join a ribbed edge.

SOCK Class ( for the intermediate
knitter)
I decided to make this sock class a little more interesting
for those who have knitted traditional sock patterns already, but want to try
something new, but also for those who have never knitted socks, but always
wanted to try.
This is a two-at-a-time sock
knitting class using the magic loop or
alternatively two circular needles (my preferred method).
For the heel we will be using the FLK
heel instructions.
This class will be every third Saturday afternoon for a total
of three Saturdays.
January 17th
2pm -4pm: Judy’s magic loop cast
on and toe-increases
February 7th
2pm -4pm : FLK Heel
February 28th 2pm-4pm: stretchy bind off
The class fee is $120 for all three sessions.
