Start the New Year Out Right

We’re starting the new year out with a weekend of workshops with Chrissy Gardiner, noted designer and author of the Toe-Up! sock workbook.

On Saturday, January 30th she’ll be leading a class called Textured Colorwork in the Round.  This class will introduce knitters to the Bohus style of colorwork, which utilizes knit and purl stitches to create a multi-dimensional color pattern not attainable by using knit stitches alone. Students will learn the basics of two-handed stranding as well as tips for incorprating their own textured colorwork designs into a basic sock framework.  This class begins as soon as we close for the day (4:00) and runs for three hours.

On Sunday afternoon, beginning at 1:00, Chrissy will help us explore the Basics of Toe-Up Sock Knitting.

Saturday’s class is open to all intermediate knitters;  Sunday’s class is open to all intermediate knitters who have successfully completed at least one pair of socks.

Registration is open now, and you can sign up online.  We’re offering a package deal, saving you 10% when you sign up for both classes.   As always, space is limited so register soon!
