Ancient Pathways

Join us for a fun afternoon of spinning, talking and relaxing. Any level of spinning ability is welcome. Bring your wheels and spindles and play! Along with the chance to spin with your peers we will have various exotic fibers for you to sample.

Do you need a different way to knit your socks? We will teach you how to use any yarn and needles to make socks that fit you. The great thing about this technique is that you knit until the sock is a long as you like or you run out of yarn.

Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Do you love to make scarves but are tired of big needles and knitting every row? This scarf is reversible and takes you the next step down in needle size.

This is a pattern from Knitty.com. The designer says “This lace hat was inspired by my two favorite things about the fall: cool, crisp weather, and beautifully-colored leaves. This hat is worked from the top down, and the increases for the crown shaping are integrated into the lace pattern.”

Learn to make seams that virtually disappear into the knitting. In this class you will learn five joining and seaming techniques plus pointers on picking up stitches, tucking in ends and planning stitch patterns for smooth joins. You will need a set of swatches – instructions available when you register. Have a project ready to finish? Bring it to class and start the seams as you learn on the swatches. If you have already taken this class but you have a project you want to finish, just bring it and skip the swatches.

Join us as we begin a new series of classes focusing on stitch patterns. Our first choice is the Jewel Cross-Rib. This is an entertaining knit and easy to memorize. The pattern is actually reversible even though that wasn't the intent. This means it will work well for blankets and scarves. Currently Meg is using the pattern to make a shrug. You can really see the versatility in this stitch.
