Course Descriptions

 

Sock Club   August 7 & 21 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Our sock club continues and we'll have the Booby Sock done by the end of August.   So far so good........not to late to join us if you want to.  We will be meeting on July 24th if you want to start or come in before to get started here at the store.

Knitting 101 Two 1 hour sessions $30
Aug. 5 & 12 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 p.m.   

This is for the novice knitter or someone who wants to have a refresher ON how to knit.  In the first meeting, you will be shown how to cast on and the knit stitch.  In the second session, you will be shown how to purl and how to bind off.  You will be shown how to combine the two stitches for ribbing and we'll do some beginner work on mixing the two stitches up and do a few basic designs.  You'll be able to start a project at the end of the first meeting.

Tithe Sweater Three 2-hour sessions $40
Aug. 2, 16 and31st 1:00p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

We've had many requests for a class on this sweater so.......here it is!!  The sample is knit out of Noro and is in the store.  This sweater is great on everyone who has tried it on and the weight is good.  Will fit a variety of sizes and extremely flattering on.  A great class to get the basics of sweater-knitting down and have a great finished product at the end of the sessions.  We will do a gauge at the first meeting to ensure a good fit.

Entrelac Scarf Two 1 1/2-hour sessions $35
Aug. 9 & 23  10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

For those of you who asked Syvia to turn her entrelac hat into a scarf, here's your chance.  Entrelac is one of those techniques that looks complicated but isn't once you get started.  A sample is in the store just in case you haven't seen it.  Sylvia has used the NEW Noro yarn that just arrived which is a blend of cotton, silk, wool and nylon.  Great feel and great colors....

Finishing Your Projects
Wednesdays 1:00 p.m. - 3.00 p.m. and Saturdays 10:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m.

We are continuing with our Finishing and so far so good!!!  Projects are indeed getting finished.   We'll have Wednesdays from 1:00 P.M.-3:00 PM. and Saturday, J and every Saturday in August  from 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.  Finish your projects from your Christmas classes and any and all projects you have home in a bag, on a shelf, etc. etc. etc.  Come on in and let's get everything finished. 
 

Knit A Longs
We are excited about the new knitalongs we are started in July and continuing in August.
We are knitting "Beth" an off-the-shoulder sweater knit with Colinette Tagliatelli. 

Our second Knit-A-Long is starting in August and we are knitting The Great American Aran Afghan one square at a time and meeting once a month.  Each month will be a new square.  We have the book in the store if you want to see how beautiful this heirloom afghan is.  Most of you already know your scheduled times and we will be contacting everyone to give the day and time for each of you.

Private Lessons $25 per hour

Hands-on Help
Stuck?  Need a little bit of help?  Forget how to cast on or off?  Help is at hand.  All The Knitting Room customers are welcome to come in for up to a 15-minute session with no appointment necessary, and there is no charge.  However, hands-on help is not a substitute for knitting lessons or individual instruction.  If you require more help, we can schedule a time for you to get more in-depth one-on-one assistance.  The charge will be $15 per 30 minutes.
