NEW CLASS!
Two 1.5-hour Sessions
Cost: $40 (includes yarn & pattern)
Dates & Times:
Session 1: Wednesday, November 2/16 from 1:30 pm – 3 pm
Session 2: Wednesday, November 16/16 from 1:30 pm – 3 pm
Teacher: Louise
This class will give you a chance to work with a bulky weight yarn that knits up quickly and at the same time, add to your knitting skills repertoire! The Cabled Cowl or Scarf class is suitable for all knitters, from beginners who know how to knit & purl to the experienced who want to brush up on their cable skills (i.e. How to prevent “that gap” at the cable crossings) And you may choose if you prefer to knit the pattern as a cowl, or to finish it as a scarf.
During class you will learn how to read a pattern, do a provisional cast on (or crochet cast on, if you are knitting the Scarf), keep borders aligned, seed stitch, crossing cables both right & left, use of cable needle, markers & lifeline, and to finish your Cowl, you have the choice of mattress stitch, 3-needle cast-off or grafting. Plus any number of other skills/techniques that may arise in class from what we affectionately call a “Teachable Moment” (i.e. picking up stitches, ripping back, fixing miss-crossed cables, etc).
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit and Purl Stitches
CABLED MITTS ON 2-NEEDLES
Four 2-hour Sessions
Cost: $100 (yarn & pattern book included)

Session 4: Friday, November 25/16 from 1 pm – 3 pm
Teacher: Louise
These mitts are interesting to knit and will be admired by all who see them! The mitts are knit flat and then seamed using mattress stitch. The cable pattern is intricate and will give you an opportunity to learn how to keep several different patterns working alongside each other, all at the same time. We will also learn how to pick up stitches, how to increase & decrease “while keeping the pattern correct”. Choice of two cuffs styles available.
Rated: Intermediate Course
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit and Purl Stitches & familiar with cable techniques
MENTORING & SKILLS BUILDING FOR KNITTERS
2-hour Sessions
Cost: $25 per single session or $100 per group of 5 sessions (paid in advance)
Dates:
Wednesdays: Oct. 26, Nov 9 & 23/16
Fridays: Nov 4 & 18/16
Time: 10 am – 12 am (all sessions)
Teachers: Janet & Cathy
‘Mentoring”’ ... Not just for UFO’s anymore!! Now you can take a Mentoring Session (or two or three) to expand your knitting skills. If there has every been a class that we’ve offered, but didn’t work with your schedule, or one of our original Dragonpine Design Patterns that has caught your eye, but you didn’t know if you could manage it on your own ... now is the time to take advantage of our Mentoring & Skill Building Sessions! We highly encourage you to start something new, take on a new project and expand your knitting skills while under the helpful guidance of our experienced & patient teachers – Janet & Cathy.
Other scenarios that may apply to these Mentoring Sessions:
• Maybe you have a project that has been squirreled away for quite some time that you became stuck on and just need a hand picking it back up and carrying on with it.
• Maybe you just need a single session to get past a stumbling block that you have encountered in your current project.
• Maybe you would like to tackle a project that is a little intimidating and would like some coaching as you work through it.
If any of these scenarios apply to you, then these mentoring sessions are just for you!
The beauty of these sessions is that YOU CHOOSE which dates you would like to come, either the Wednesday dates or the Friday dates or you can mix and match. YOU DO NOT NEED TO COME TO EVERY SESSION OFFERED. Simply come to the ones you need to! All we ask is that you call the store to register to let us know when you will be coming. The only pre-requisite is that we need a working copy of your pattern BEFORE the session so we may familiarize ourselves with what you are tackling. Simply bring the pattern into the store and we will make a working copy for both of us.
OOPS! I MADE A MISTAKE – For Beginners
One 2.5-hour Session
Cost: $35.00
Date & Time: Wednesday, November 16/16 from 10 am – 12:30 pm
Teacher: Louise
THIS CLASS IS PERFECT FOR ALL BEGINNER KNITTERS
Lately we have had loads of requests to do a workshop on fixing mistakes. Well here it is! This hands-on class will not only teach you how to deal with all kinds of “knitting disasters” like dropped and twisted stitches and un-picking one or many rows, but will also deal with things like; “how do I know what row of my pattern I’m on” and “Oh-No! All of the stitches fell off of my needle! What do I do? And “Oh-No! The phone rang, I set down my knitting and now I don’t know how to start up again! So often customers tell us that they unravelled all of their knitting and started over simply because they didn’t have the skills to fix their mistake; Oh My! Never again after this workshop! Simply put, all beginner knitters can benefit from taking this class.
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit & Purl Stitches
Nice chatting with you today. Hope the rest of your day & week go well,
