AMELIE
AMELIE – Mulberry Silk + De-haired Baby Alpaca + Merino
AMELIE is one of the most luxurious, softest and lightest yarns in the world. It is extremely light weight and has a beautiful texture that is the result of the combination of three fibers using a new technology. This high-tech yarn consists of a delicate spun tube of webbing made of pure silk that encases the soft, de-haired baby alpaca fibres creating a thicker, yet delicate, yarn without the added bulk or weight and does not pill.

OOPS! I MADE A MISTAKE
One 2.5-hour Session
Cost: $50.00
Date & Time: Friday, January 11/19 from 10 am – 12:30 pm
Teacher: Louise
THIS CLASS IS PERFECT FOR ALL BEGINNER KNITTERS & THOSE THAT WANT TO IMPROVE UPON THEIR KNITTING SKILLS
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
SUPER CHUNKY CABLED COWL
One 2-hour Session
Cost: $50 (includes yarn & pattern)
Date & Time: Tuesday, January 15/19 from 1 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! This Cabled Cowl 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, 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
Talk to you again soon,
