Check out the book Crocheted Edgings in our store we’ll be referring to it during our class. Cost $20 Served with a fresh pot of tea and cookies. Continental Knitting Class – 1 Class Instructor: Kristie Ever admired a fellow knitter who seems to speed along, holding her working yarn in her left hand? That method of knitting is called Continental knitting. Many of us were taught the English method and we carry our working yarn in our right hand and ‘throw’ it. Come and learn how to ‘scoop’ your yarn to knit and purl quickly along. Cost $30 – 1 class. 10% class discount on yarn. Class preparation-Cast on 30 stitches and knit 2 rows. Damson Shawl - 2 classes Instructor: Sue A pretty, simple little shawl, requiring just one skein of sock yarn, that’s fun to knit and easy to wear. Working two columns of paired yarn over increases that radiate from the center neck cast on creates a curved shape that drapes perfectly around your shoulders. Increasing at the edges of both right and wrong side rows results in long points that make Damson ideal to wear as a scarf. Large scale lace creates a dramatic scalloped edge, finished with a deceptively simple looped edging. Cost $50 – 2 classes.
