Three classes kick off this Saturday at the knit shop.  If you’re interested, be sure to call the shop or stop by to sign up!

Rusted Root Sweater

Two session class: Saturady, March 7th at 3:00 p.m. and possible second session if needed on Saturday, March 21 at 3:00 p.m.

This is a great sweater for spring/summer, but looks cute with a long-sleeved tee under it for these cooler days, too!  It is worked top-down, in the round, with raglan sleeves – so there is no seaming involved.

Materials: Varies by size and gauge, please call or stop by the shop for info.

Sockology 102: The Monkey Sock

Two-session class:  Saturday, March 7th at 1:00 pm

Take the next step in sock knitting and learn to knit a top-down sock with a simple lace pattern.  If you’ve been knitting plain stockinette socks, this is the ideal “next step” to keep your sock knitting fun and interesting!

Materials: 300-400 yards of fingering weight yarn, one 32″ US size 2 circular needle

Entrelac Scarf

Single-session class: Saturday, March 7th at 10:30 a.m.

Learn to knit the beautiful, eye-catching “basket-weave” created by entrelac knitting in this single-session class.  The pattern is especially beautiful when knit with self-striping yarns that have subtle color changes.  Or you can pick out several solid colors and alternate them for a different look.

Materials: 200-300 yards of worsted weight yarn (200 yards will yield a scarf approximately 42″ long, 300 yards will yield apprxomimately 63″), US size 9 needles
