“ALASKA” FAIRISLE HAT – Learn the “Two-Handed Fairisle” Knitting Technique
One 3-hour Session
Cost: $75 (yarn* & pattern included)
Date & Time: Thursday, December 12/19 from 10 am – 1 pm
Teacher: Janet
CLICK HERE to view some of our Class Graduates Hats!!
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. There is homework associated with this class and the class fills quickly, so make sure you register early!
(* depending on yarn choice, you may have enough yarn to complete two hats, by reversing the colours for the second hat)

CUTTING INTO YOUR KNITS
One 2.5-Hour Session
Cost: $50.00
Date & Time: Tuesday, December 10/19 from 2 pm – 4:30 pm
Teacher: Janet
YIKES! Cutting my knitting? Are you kidding? Believe it or not cutting into your knits can have a great benefit. You can make a garment longer, make a garment shorter, or add a pocket where no pocket was before. You can even knit your sweaters in the round in a giant tube and cut in the sleeves, neckline or cardigan front. This hands-on class will give you the confidence to take scissors to your knitting with no fear! We guarantee that your knitting will not dissolve when you cut into it! By working through the many in-class samples, you will feel empowered to cut your knits when necessary or when it makes the knitting of the project more enjoyable. This class is for everyone who knits!

PROVISIONAL CAST-ON (The perfect start for the perfect ending!)
One 2.5-hour Session
Cost: $50
Date & Time: Friday, December 6/19 from 10 am – 12:30 pm
Teacher: Janet
It seems that of late many knitting patterns are asking you to begin with a “Provisional Cast-On”. Some patterns offer it as a suggestion or option, but what is it? I’m glad you asked! A Provisional Cast-On is a method of casting on where the stitches that you start with are left “live” so that you can collect them later. This method of cast-on comes in very handy and useful for many knitted projects including scarves, cowls, hems, afghan blocks or strips as well as neckline openings. Use it any time in knitting where it would be nice to “finish where you started” without the bulk of having to sew the 2 pieces together. Please join Janet to learn and practice this invaluable knitting technique. Although there are many ways to achieve the Provisional Cast-On, we are going to learn the Crochet Cast-On method in this workshop. You do not need to know how to crochet to take this class. By casting on with this method, you can later collect the live stitches to join your work. This lends itself very nicely when Grafting/Kitchener Stitch or a 3-Needle Cast-Off/Bind-Off is used to join the knitting together. It is also a beautiful way to join a hem, either plain or picot, with no sewing and no worrying about lining up your stitches. The cast-on that we learn is also useful even if you don’t use it provisionally. The resulting edge looks exactly the same as when we cast-off in hand knitting so one edge of your knitting will look the same as the other! Perfect for scarves and dishcloths and many other knitted items.
