Up your Knitting Game with Some Special Classes

February!

With Holiday knitting over and done with it’s time to concentrate on knit projects that are more self indulgent. That  may be knitting something you’ve been coveting and plan to keep for yourself but it may also mean concentrating your efforts on learning a new skill and becoming a better then ever knitter.
Here are some classes to help you out with that:

Thrum Mittens

The polka dot pattern on these mittens is not only handsome but it is functional too. Each dot is a piece of unspun fleece that is knit into the mitten to make a fleece lined mitt. So warm!

Thrum Mitten Class
Wednesday February 24, and March 2, 7-9pm
More info and registration HERE

Custom Fit Socks

Do have some yarn that is calling out to you. It says “make me into socks – PLEASE!” However it is not a sock weight yarn and you don’t have the right pattern and you just don’t know where to begin. You can learn to make a sock out of any yarn you wish and any size too. Take our Custom Fit Sock Class and see how it’s done.
You will also learn how to knit your socks from the TOE UP so no precious yarn will go to waste.

Custom Fit Sock Class
Sunday February 21, 28, March 6, 12:30-2:30

Sweet on Sweet Georgia Yarn

It is so great to look out the window and see green.  Not just any green but that distinct hue of greenery that is ubiquitous in the spring; that vivid, happy, living, breathing, bright, green. Sigh!
This skein of yarn from Sweet Georgia harnesses the power of green and mixes it with this punchy pink to make the springiest yarn you ever did see.  It’s called Snapdragon.

This west-coast, Canadian, hand dyer seems particularly adept at preserving the essence of Spring-Time in their sunny colour-ways. We have a pretty batch of their DK weight superwash merino, which has a springy twist that is a match for the colour. A generous 234 metre skein is $24. Some are multicolour dye jobs like Snapdragon ↑

and Sitka

and Honey Fig

Some are effervescent tonal colours that can’t wait to become jumpers.  They tell me so from the shelves.

Top left – Hush, right – Grape Jelly
Bottom left – Lucky, right – Riptide

Top left – Black Plum, right – Tumbled Stone
Bottom left – Blood Orange, right – Saffron

Top left – Mist, right -Raspberry
Bottom left – Cherry, right – Ultra Violet

If you’re not up for knitting a full-sized sweater, try a baby size.  After all this is superwash yarn, and spring does bring a shower of baby shower invitations in its wake. I am also moved to recommend this yarn for a baby blanket project like the one we knit up in our Beginner Knitting Baby Blanket Class (Monday June 16, 6:30-9pm), or our Beginner Crochet Blanket Class (Wednesday June 11, 18, 25, 7-9pm).

New Day Time Classes!

We are so happy that Iwona is back at the Knit Cafe after her maternity sojourn.  One of the extra benefits of having her amongst us is that she will be able to put her talents to good use and take up the mantle of teacher again.  To this end we are adding on some new dates for classes.  These classes will take place in the daylight hours and hopefully allow more options to folks whose schedules do not permit evening classes.  If that is you, then make a note:

Knitter’s Crash Course, our 2.5 hour introduction to knitting for complete novices will now also run – Monday December 2nd 10am-12:20pm

Holiday Bear Workshop, is a class for beginner knitters (you only need be familiar with the simple knit stitch to make this gorgeous specimen).  After you take the Knitter’s Crash Course you will be in good shape to tackle this class. Learn to follow a knit pattern and the seaming techniques necessary to make this bear – Monday December 9, 10am-12:30pm

Hat Workshop is our class for learning how to knit in circles on those pesky double pointed needles.  A toque is a fun and quick item to knit and makes excellent gifts.
Monday December 16, 10am-12:30pm

To register for these classes or any other classes give us a call here at

What would you most like to knit but don’t know how to yet? In this class we will discuss how to pick a project that is right for you and your level of experience. 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. This class is open to knitters who know the basics but are looking to challenge themselves with something new; a great follow up from Knit 101!

.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 good-old, cozy slipper is a classic crochet pattern.  Crochet’s sturdy stitches make so much sense for a durable foot warmer.  This class will have you stitching your own versions.  Students will practice their pattern reading skills on both a charted and a written pattern, and learn simple shaping and embellishment techniques.  As an extra bonus the teacher will provide instruction on how to add on a leather bottom to prevent slipping. 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.
2 sessions, $54, materials not included
Wed October 9, 16, 7-9pm

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.

We’ve got cotton!

 

Summer is here – officially speaking, as of a few days ago, and weather-wise, as of today!  It’s a hot one.
Knitting is one of my favourite outdoor activities.  Taken with you to the park or on a weekend away, it is great for relaxing and taking in the summer vibe.  For plant-fibre enthusiasts it is also a choice time to indulge.

This past week we fully restocked the Blue Sky Alpaca’s Organic Worsted Cotton in the above colours and more besides.  This is the yarn we use in the “Your First Baby Blanket Pattern” but it would also suit the Hexagon Crochet Blanket we teach in our beginner Crochet Blanket Class.

The next First Baby Blanket Workshop is July 29

6:30-9pm

$30, materials not included

The next Crochet Blanket Class is July 3, 10, 17

We  are so excited about this new season of classes.  New crochet classes like Crocheting on the Edge where you can add pretty trims onto your pillowcases or napkins. In the Crochet Market Bag Class you make a pretty and practical mesh bag for shopping. The Crochet Slipper Class features an fantastic slipper pattern, complete with leather soles. In the Crochet Shawl class you learn how to make a triangular shaped shawl, perfect for the spring/fall weather. The Steeking Workshop is new too; learn how to change a pullover into a cardigan with the help of some scissors. In the One Night Only Sweater Class you can make a whole sweater in one night, big enough to fit your teddy bear.  The Fingerless Mitten Class proposes to teach how to knit in rounds on double pointed needles, and leave you with mittens that are weather appropriate. Expect full descriptions of the classes to show up soon on the home page.
