True Blue Fiber Friends

Start off the new year with a new talent! Learn your choice of sock methods; two socks at once magic loop technique, two circulars, or double points. We will schedule optional follow up sessions for different stages of the socks.

The double-knitting technique is deceptively simple, and will allow you to created a reversible, negative image piece (see sample in-shop). By working both sides of the item at once, you create a double-thick piece that is great for color work, as well as bags that won't require lining. This is the technique you'll need to work Bex's amazing Double-Knit Tam pattern!

Do you have a store-bought sweater that fits you perfectly? Do you have a hand-knitting pattern that you would like to alter? In this class we will help you to reverse-engineer a sweater pattern to the exact specifications you need.

Bring in the sweater you want to re-create or pattern to alter, and we will help you take measurements and create a custom pattern so you can make your favorite sweater as many times as you like!

Techniques covered include: short-row shaping, designing for body shape, proper measuring and translating stitch patterns.

Bring natural protein yarns (wool, silk, alpaca, etc.). We'll have a rainbow of colors at your disposal to custom dye your yarns any way you like.
