Start the year with new knitting classes! Or join us for our new knit-along. January is a great time to knit!
January is the perfect month to enjoy being cozy and knitting while sipping tea, hot chocolate or even a glass of wine. It is an even better time to take classes! Tori is back, and she has wonderful classes scheduled for January, February, and March!
Learn to Knit Class
$75 plus supplies*
January Session - Mondays, January 20, February 3 and February 10 from 3-5pm. (The first class is from 3-6pm.)
March Session - Thursdays, March 6, 13, and 20 from 5-7pm. (The first class is from 5-8pm.)
The first class Tori is teaching is a Learn to Knit class for beginner knitters. In this class students will knit the Learn to Knit Mitts by Katherine Lynn. Students will learn to cast-on, the knit stitch, the purl stitch, slip stitches, ribbing, binding off and weaving in ends.
Supplies needed for the class are US #6 (4mm) knitting needles, 100grams of DK-weight yarn (which needs to be purchased from Wasatch and Wool), lockable stitch markers, and a tapestry needle.
Beginner Hat Class
$60 plus supplies*
Tuesdays, January 21, 28, and February 4 from 4-5:30pm.
New or returning knitters who have knitted before and are interested in progressing should sign up for Tori’s Beginner Hat Class. This is the class for knitters who are comfortable with knitting and purling who want to learn how to make increases and decreases, read from a chart and ultimately make a hat. Casting on and binding-off will be reviewed.
The project is July Hat by Courtney Kelley.
Supplies needed for the class are July Hat by Courtney Kelley pattern, US #7 (4.5mm) and US #8 (5mm) 16inch needles and US #8 (5mm) double pointed knitting needles, 100grams of a worsted weight yarn (which needs to be purchased from Wasatch and Wool), stitch markers, and a tapestry needle. Suggested yarns are Journey Worsted by Julie Asselin, Malabrigo Rios or Seis Cabos also from Malabrigo.
Mila Hooded Vest Class
$110 plus supplies*
Mondays, February 10, 17, 24, March 3, 10, and 17 from 5-6:30pm (The first class on February 10 meets from 5:30-7pm)
This is a class for knitters who are comfortable knitting, purling, casting-on, binding-off, and reading patterns who want to try their first vest. Knitters who have already knit a sweater but want to review the process will also enjoy this class as Tori leads you through knitting Mila Hooded Vest by Irene Lin. Everything from gauge swatches to blocking will be covered. There will be a lot of knitting homework between classes so be sure to schedule time to knit.
Mila Hooded Vest by Irene Lin is an adorable and versatile cardigan style vest that comes with a hood to keep you extra warm for times when you need it as well as pockets that will fit your keys, lip gloss, driver’s license, and anything else you need to have on you.
Supplies for the class are Mila Hooded Vest by Irene Lin, US #8 (5mm) and US #10 (6mm) circular needles in a variety of lengths, stitch markers, and Aran weight yarn which needs to be purchased from Wasatch and Wool. This vest would be beautiful knit in Woolstok Tov or a Noro yarn such as Haunui Cotton, Haunui Silk, and Ito. Other yarns that will arrive in time for class are Pennsylvania Primaries from Plied Yarns and Osprey from Quince & Co.
January is also a great time to join a knit-along!
Customers and employees have expressed a lot of interest in knitting this mosaic and stranded colorwork shawl. Designer Natasja Hornby is known for her “Grand Mosaic” shawls and Artus with its gorgeous blend of colors and patterning is certainly one of her most beautiful creations.
Sport or light DK wool yarns are recommended for Artus. If you would like to join us, please stop by to choose your palette from Brooklyn Tweed Imbue Sport, Julie Asselin Journey Sport, Primrose Homestead Sport, Isager Tweed, Rowan Felted Tweed, or The Fibre Co. Lore.
We will be starting this project with a wine and cheese evening on Monday, January 13th. Please let us know if you would like to be part of this knitting adventure. We ask that you purchase the yarn for this KAL from Wasatch and Wool.
