These classes take your newly acquired (or already
there) skills a step further. Let's explore knitting on double
pointed needles, to knit in the round. |
Socks on DPNs

required for this class)

Cost $25 |

In this class, we will start knitting a pair
of "boot" socks in an average woman's size. We'll be
using a worsted weight yarn, so these socks will be
a bit bulky for standard shoes, but they'll be great
slipper socks for those cold floors!
|
| |
With worsted
weight yarn, cast on 48 stitches. Divide onto
three needles (16 sts. per needle) being careful
not to twist the stitches! Knit in K2P2 rib for
1-1/2 inches. Continue sock leg by knitting
every round (creates stockinette stitch) and
knit until sock measures 5 to 6 inches total
(you can also knit the entire top of the sock in
ribbing if you choose). Leave the stitches on
the needles and bring this to class. |
| |
You must have
completed Beginning Knitting, or be able to cast
on, bind off, knit, purl, increase, decrease,
and pick up stitches, and be able to knit
on double pointed needles. |
Supplies:
| |
Approx. 400 yards of
worsted weight yarn of your choice |
| |
|
(100% wool makes a warm
but maybe itchy sock) |
| |
|
Again, blends work very
well—WoolEase
or Encore. |

| This class presents the option of knitting a
sweater from the top down. There is very little
finishing with this technique. Beginning
knitters can successfully complete this class.
We will start at the collar, increase along a
raglan line, finish the sleeves, and then
complete the body of the sweater. All bands and
buttonholes are knit as we go!
You will be on your own finishing most of the
sweater, but I will be available by phone, or in
person before or after other classes to assist. |
|
You will receive
handouts for a hooded sweater option, and
instructions on how to resize, as well as
patterns for an American Girl or Barbie doll.
