We will talk about finding materials, checking tension, and how to read a knitting pattern. Techniques specific to each knitter’s project will be demonstrated. Seaming and finishing techniques will also be covered.  As students work through their individual projects they will have the chance to seek advice from the expert knitting instructor and also learn from fellow students.

.Steeking Workshop
In times of yore, practical knitters found they could easily change a pullover into a cardigan or even add on sleeves once a body was fully completed.  They accomplished this feat by fearlessly cutting up their hand knitting and adding these adjustments. Why is this madness desirable? It allows the knitter to knit a cardigan in the round, not bothering about sleeves,  and keeping their colour work patterns strong and steady, and for an added  bonus – you never need purl.  They called this delightful maneuver “steeking”.  In this one-evening workshop you will build nerves of steel, and cut without apprehension.  After you make the cut, selvedges will be reinforced to make beautiful edges.
This is “next level” knitting-don’t miss it!
Materials: Bring to class swatch knit in fair-isle pattern in rounds with 100% wool (not superwash) worsted weight like Cascade 220. Find details on swatching here 
 . Bring needles used for swatch and crochet hook of same size or 1/2 smaller and at least 30g contrast colour.

The slippers will be custom made to fit your tootsies, so be sure to tell us your shoe size when you register.
Materials: 1 ball Brown Sheep Bulky, 5.5mm and 3-3.5mm hook, leather sole available purchase in class.

Reading Charted Patterns
for Crocheters
If you have ever looked at a crochet pattern then you have noticed the attractive snowflake motifs that accompany many instructions.  These are not just pretty pictures. They are the hieroglyphics that tell all about the pattern. Many folks find a chart easier to decipher then a long winded written pattern, but first you have to know how to decode the lines and squiggles.  We will show you how and you will make the prettiest wee coasters while you’re at it.

Sock Class
Socks!  You can’t have too many of them, and they make appreciated gifts too.  As a knitter, there is much to learn from socks.  The sock pattern tends towards advanced decoding, and the sock heel a tricky bit of business to navigate.  Once learned though, a sock is a satisfying and very portable project. Sock makers will learn the skills of picking up stitches and shaping the instep and the toe. Once one sock is made a sockaholic is in the making.

No more will socks differ even slightly in shape and size, watch them grow up together row by row.  Another fine advantage of toe-up socks is that knitters will no longer have to judge the finished length of their socks.  Just knit till the yarn runs out – nothing goes to waste!

hot times – felting in the city

Felt is a perfect summer activity.  Especially wet-felting where you muck about with water and soap and fleece.  When all is said and done you are left feeling very clean, with a well satisfied inner child and a pleasing felt form before you.  A win-win-win situation!

These felt slippers are by Keily Stewart who is teaching a wet felting class at the Knit Cafe this August.

For other wearable felt items you might want to take inspiration from Shan Shan from Tokoyo.  Her Etsy shop dadaya is full of imaginative felted goods, expertly made.  Here are a few examples
