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

Cost: $85 (includes yarn & pattern)

Session 1: Saturday, January 13/18 from 1:30 pm – 3 pm
Session 2: Saturday, January 20/18 from 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Session 3: Saturday, January 27/18 from 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Teacher: Louise
With sock knitting being all the rage, let’s experiment with different ways of knitting them. Toe up socks are easy to do, and if you think about it, make a whole lot of sense. By knitting your socks from the toe up, you can be guaranteed a perfect fit because you can try them on as you go AND, more importantly, if you are running shy on yarn, you are guaranteed of getting at least both of your feet knit – no more different coloured toes! Basically your yarn supply will determine whether you are making ankle socks or knee socks! The great thing about this workshop, other than knitting socks, of course, is that you will learn a wonderful new cast-on, a new way to turn a heel, and a neat new way to cast-off; and, you guessed it… you don’t need to graft the toes when you are finished!
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit and Purl Stitches; Beneficial to have worked on double pointed or 2 circulars
