Here are the delectable choices. Majority rules, so get voting! Email me to have your say…
Knitting with Matawa (Mata–wha??)
This class explores the pleasures of knitting with pure silk (silk hankies). We’ll talk about how to make silk hankies (each is a stretched cocoon) and how to knit them straight from that form … no spinning at all! Lace, baby things, warm things… try this interesting and inexpensive form of silk. You’ll be intrigued. This is a great class for all experience levels, but basic knowledge of knitting is required.
Grok The Sock
Join the Yarn Harlot as she leads you through the exploration of sock construction.This class is designed to leave the student with a really complete understanding of the construction of socks and ( usually ) the ability to knit a sock without a pattern.
A class that you will apply over and over again in your sock knitting.
Materials: Sock yarn and needles to match
Skills: Intermediate, comfortable working in the round.
