Sirka Counter
A row counter that multitasks!!
Keep track of up to three separate counts all AT THE SAME TIME.
Eucalan is a NO RINSE delicate wash; non-toxic; biodegradable; phosphate free; natural lanolin enriched formula (lanolin is a natural conditioner and dust mite repellent); petro-chemical free; recyclable hdpe plastic bottle; eco-friendly alternative to dry cleaning. And, Eucalan isn’t just for hand washing; it can also be used in the washing machine.
SOAK is designed & made in Canada, everything we make is all about helping you clean and care for the washables you love most. This lanolin-free, eco-friendly, rinse-free Wash cleans beautifully, and is ideal for hand or machine washing. Show your laundry (and the planet) some love, with Soak.
Travel-Friendly Design - fits easily in suitcases, totes or gym bags, this is a compact, two-in-one tool that is smaller than a glasses case!
Kit includes the handle with attached lint brush,
3 detachable heads & carry bag.
This sewing kit includes all the essentials for mending holes, replacing buttons, and hemming pants and skirts. It also includes a Gleener On the Go for staying fuzz-free on the fly.
An Eco Fabric Softener & Dryer Accelerator!
In lieu of harsh chemicals, Gleener Dryer Dots harness the natural properties of wool for eco & effective fabric softening that shaves dryer time by 15% - 30%.
The perfect packing solution for taking your knitting, crocheting or stitching anywhere – to your favourite Knit Group, yarn store or while traveling! Simply put your knitting inside and zip it up to keep your yarn, needles, and notions from getting lost in your suitcase.

Not only are these ingenious row counter rings pretty and comfortable to wear, they are practical too! Ideally worn on the index finger or thumb, this row counter will never go missing, or fall between the couch cushions – you'll never be without your row counter when you need it.
An Ablet is a very pretty bracelet but secretly a functional row counter. We as Knitters & Crocheters can use it to count rows, pattern repeats, increases & decreases. If you are working from multiple charts, use the 3-tier Ablet to keep track of rows in each chart. But uses for the Ablet reach far beyond our ‘knitting world’ – YES, there is life beyond knitting, who knew?!!?

“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)
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit and Purl Stitches; comfortable working in the round on circular or double pointed needles
NEW DATE...
BLOCKING YOUR KNITS
One 2-hour Session
Cost: $40
Date & Time: Wednesday, December 18/19 from 10 am – 12 pm
Teacher: Janet
Blocking is an essential part of finishing a project – as you can tell from the above photos. See a project in action as well as learn to block swatches, textured fabric, and to deal with various fibres and blends. If you have never blocked your knits, come see what a difference it makes!
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: None
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!
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit and Purl Stitches
Hope you have a wonderful day!
