Simplest mitts |
Log Cabin Mitts |
U-Turn Mitts |
I am offering three classes this Winter.
I choose three different patterns for fingerless mitts, one each for the beginner, intermediate and advanced knitter.
All of these are knitted flat ( the last one in a very unique way).
I like fingerless mitts, because they are fun to wear and fairly quick to make.
The fee for the classes is $80 for the beginner and advanced class ( three sessions each ) and $60 for the intermediate class ( two sessions) plus material. The patterns are all free.
I decided to start the classes the weekend following Martin Luther King Day.
Location: The classes will be held at AL Stickles in Rhinebeck.
