Have you had a chance to see these adorable little “Turtle Baby Mitts”, on display at the store?
Mods: Just for the fun of it, we knit each pair of mittens in inverse colourways, switching colour A for colour B in the second mitten – it makes for a fun pair of mitts! But, if you want your mittens to match, you can see the difference between choosing a light or dark colour as the background and choose your colours accordingly.
We knit the pink pair with Comfort DK in colours #2723 (light pink) and # 2779 (dark pink) and used 2.75mm needles for the entire mitt.
For the green & yellow pair, we used 2.75mm needles for the cuffs and switched to 3mm needles for the mitt. This pair was knit with Comfort DK in colours #2740 (green) and #2719 (yellow).
Want to see a size comparison? Here are the mittens shown with a 50 gram ball of Comfort DK:
Pretty little, eh?!? And, sooooo CUTE!!

“ALASKA” FAIRISLE HAT – Learn the “Two-Handed Fair Isle” Knitting Technique
One 3-hour Session
Cost: $75 (yarn* & pattern included)
Date & Time: Wednesday, October 30/19 from 10 am – 1 pm
Teacher: Janet
This is the perfect time of year to knit this beautiful Fair Isle hat! Join Janet to learn the “Two-Handed Fair Isle" method of knitting colourwork. Unlike stranded Fair Isle knitting, the Two-Handed Method automatically eliminates any floats from occurring on the wrong side of the fabric! This is accomplished as the colour not in use is magically woven in with the colour that is in use. Here is the best part….. Your 2 yarns NEVER GET TANGLED UP! Once you have learned the 3 simple steps to this technique, you can use the Two-Handed Fair Isle method on anything Fair Isle; sweaters, yokes, shawls, wraps, cowls, scarves, mittens, hats, you name it! The Alaska hat is knit in 2 colours of 4-ply Fingering or “Sock” Weight yarn. Choose from two solids or a combination of solids, tonals, or self-patterning yarns. Knitting this hat is very rhythmic and is a nice project that is light in your hands. The pattern will be provided digitally via email and a working copy will be printed and provided for use during class.
(* depending on yarn choice, you may have enough yarn to complete two hats, by reversing the colours for the second hat)
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit and Purl Stitches; comfortable working in the round on circular or double pointed needles
BRICK & MORTAR SHAWL
One 2.5-hour Session
Cost: $70 (Includes $40 Yarn Credit & Pattern Leaflet)
Date & Time: Saturday, November 9/19 from 10 am – 12:30 pm
Teacher: Janet
Join Janet to knit the newest Shawl pattern released by London Yarns! This shawl can be knit using 2 colours or 1 single colour of fingering weight yarn. This shawl is suitable for knitters of all skill levels. The pattern becomes intuitive after a few repeats, making this knit a very relaxing, rhythmic pleasure to work on. Knitting begins at the centre bottom point, casting on only 4 stitches and the shawl grows by one “brick” when you complete each pattern section. Participants can expect to learn the “knit-on” cast-on, mosaic knitting on both right and wrong side rows, and a neat little trick to carry the colour not in use inconspicuously up the brick edge of the shawl.

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
PERFECT SEAMS!
One 3-hour Session
Cost: $60
Date & Time: Saturday, November 2/19 from 10 am – 1 pm
Teacher: Janet
Join Janet to learn an amazing seaming technique called Mattress Stitch that produces a virtually INVISIBLE seam. This technique works for all seams; garments with side seams, sleeve seams, shoulder seams, afghan panels, blocks or squares. Anywhere you have a seam to sew, Mattress Stitch works perfectly. By combining our two most popular workshops, students will also learn methods of increasing and decreasing that will make the seaming process even more streamlined, preparing the edges of your fabric for the seaming to follow. This workshop is hands-on, so students will be knitting and practising all of the seaming and finishing techniques covered on samples that they will keep with their notes and hand outs for future reference. As well, students will learn and knit the famous, “3 Needle Cast-Off or Bind-Off” technique that is perfect for joining shoulders. Imagine; knit your shoulders together with no hand sewing! Last, but not least, we will learn different ways of darning in those pesky yarn tails making sure they are not only secure, but they leave no distortion, bulk, or bleed through on the finished or “public” side of the fabric.
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit & Purl Stitches
Isn’t this such a pretty time of year?!?! Are you enjoying the colours too?
