This is a regular get-together for stranded knitters on the first Wednesday of the month. It's not a class, and there is no cost to attend. The only way to become proficient in this colorwork technique, also known as Fair Isle knitting, is practice, practice, practice, so that’s what we will do together! Participants are invited to bring their own projects and share any tutorials, patterns, videos, etc. that they have found helpful.

Ysolda Teague's Wee Liesl is a charming introduction to top down construction in its simplest form. It’s a round yoked cardigan worked from the neck down in an allover feather and fan lace pattern. Clever increases are incorporated invisibly into the stitch pattern. Five sizes fit newborn to four years. Makes a fast and fun baby gift.

Here’s a jaunty small project to introduce you to the 2-color brioche stitch in the round and brioche decreasing in pattern. Pick two colors of DK weight yarn and watch brioche magically make four.

Toe up is the way to go - you can try them on as you knit for a perfect fit. Starting with Judy’s Magic Cast-On for comfy seamless toes, use either Magic Loop or two circulars for this classic, comfortable heel flap/gusset sock. Note: This is a 2-session class, which concludes Saturday, June 23, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM Required skills: Previous experience knitting in the round on Magic Loop or 2 circulars.

Vertices Unite is Stephen West’s playful exploration of different shaping techniques in knitting, including increases, decreases, and short rows. Each section is picked up and knit from the last section or worked as it is being joined to the other pieces like a puzzle, so there’s no seaming involved. Note: This a 3-session class, which continues Saturday, June 23, and concludes Saturday, July 14,  2:00-3:00 PM.

First, you’ll knit a simple log cabin square. Then, with a clever combination of joinery and miter techniques, your square will become a fingerless glove with a neatly sculpted thumb gusset. Log cabin knitting will be explained in detail, but be aware that it is highly addictive! These mitts are a great way to use up small amounts of yarn.

KNITTING 101 teaches the basics: you'll learn how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off. All class materials provided, plus you get a 10% New Knitter Discount for all purchases made that day to outfit yourself to continue your knitting journey at home.

You can knit and you can purl. Now what? Knitting 201 introduces you to what comes next - the good stuff that makes knitting so much fun! Learn about increases, decreases, fine tuning cast-ons and bind-offs, fixing mistakes, knitting on circular needles, using markers, reading patterns, and more. Lots of hints and useful techniques.    

Who doesn’t have that single skein of wild hand-painted sock yarn that you absolutely love but have no idea what to do with? The Sallah Cowl was designed to solve that problem! Knit flat in twisted rib, the pattern stays interesting with two different needle sizes, increases, decreases, an applied i-cord edging, and a bias seam. An easy-to-wear style, it is equally attractive in yarn dyed in tonal or solid shades.
