2 Socks on the Magic Loop -  Do you hate working with DPN's? Do you get second sock syndrome? Here is your answer! This class teaches the popular magic loop method knitting both socks at the same time....

3-Week Beginning Knit  - This is the class for a new knitter or someone who needs a refresher course. You will learn the long tail cast-on, knit and purl stitch, joining new yarn and binding off. We will also go over gauge, reading labels and reading a basic pattern.

Beginning Drop Spindle - Now's your chance to learn to spin fiber into yarn. You will create enough yarn to make a scarf in this class. Space is limited to 8 people.

Beginning Knit - This is a crash course on how to Cast On, Knit and Bind Off.

Create a Summer Shell - In this class we will customize a shell pattern especially for you.

Crocheted Bag - Use you crochet skills and let's make a cute summer tote bag.

Finishing - Learn casting off, measuring and blocking, shoulder, side and armhole seams, different trim ideas

Prism Shawl - The shawl uses either Cool Stuff or Light Stuff and Muench's Touch Me. This shawl is a perfect accessory for cool spring and summer evenings. Any beginner knitter who can cast on, knit and bind off will enjoy this class.

Sit N Knit– Come join us for our regular social gathering where we work on current projects (2nd and 4th Thursday of the month).

Sock Club - This is a knit along for everyone who is a member of the Sock Club. We will knit our socks together and finish! We will meet the first and third Thursdays, 7-9 pm.

Techniques:  Double Pointed Needles - Amaze your friends and awe strangers as you expertly wrangle 4 or 5 little needles while knitting a sock or sleeve, just don’t tell them the secret – that it’s not as hard as it looks!  Knitting with double pointed needles (DPNs) is an excellent skill to have, even if you prefer other methods of knitting small tubes.  There’s no shifting of cables and pushing stitches onto needles, just Zen knitting around and around…plus, it looks dangerous and cool!  During this techniques class we’ll get started on a simple project of fingerless gloves that will keep your wrists warm so you can knit some more!

Materials: One skein of worsted weight yarn that you like (Malabrigo is great), One set of  size 7 wooden DPNs (5” or 6” length), 1 yard of waste yarn in a similar weight, but contrasting color

Teddy Bear - An adorable knit Teddy Bear and sweater, great Christmas or baby shower gift, and so on.

Sampler Beanie - This beanie will teach you a variety of different stitches all in one project. Super simple and fun.

Slip Stitch Washcloth - Learn to make this washcloth with two different colors of yarn using the slip stitch method. Great gifts!
