Mosaic Scarf - $30 ($25 for members) +$6 for pattern
Saturday Feb. 6 from 2-5

Mosaic knitting is the perfect way to dip your toes into color-work. You only use one yarn at a time over two rows. Then by knitting and slipping stitches you get a complicated knit pattern that looks much harder then it really is. Love that!! rav link
Skill Level: knit, purl, cast-on
Hemlock Ring Blanket -$45 ($40 for members)
Wed. Feb. 10 and 17 from 6-9pm sign up
Jared Flood of Brooklyn Tweed is one of the wonderful new designers on the scene. He has taken a pattern for a knitted doily and instead of knitting it with thread he did it with worsted weight wool. It is now one of the most knitted blanket patterns out there. rav link
This is a perfect beginning lace project. Big yarn, big needles and after the star medallion you are knitting a simple “feather and fan” which goes really fast.

March Classes
Rainbow Scarf - $30 ($25 for members)
Tuesday March 2, from 6-9:30
This Class is Full
Here is another good pattern to try as your first colorwork project. This uses a technique called “double knitting”. You only knit with one color at a time and then with a series of knit and purl stitches you create a double sided fabric. Brilliant!
This project also makes great use of the really long striping yarns. Yes this is done with one skein of yarn.
Dare I say again? Brilliant!! rav link
Beginning Socks - $45 ($40 for members)
Saturday March 6 and 13 from 2-5pm sign up
Here is your chance to finally learn how to knit socks. Your first sock with be toddler size so you can get to the hard parts faster. It is done with worsted weight yarn, again so you can get to the hard parts faster. You will learn how to knit short rows, pick up stitches and two ways to finish toes.
This is also a good class to learn how to use magic loop or 2 circulars.
You know this has been on your knitting list for a long time, no better time then now to cross this one off!
Skill Level: knit, purl, cast-on
Fair Isle Felted Bag - $45 ($40 for members)
Mon. March 15 and 22 from 6-9:30pm sign up
Here is one more trick to making color work a little easier. Felting!
Felting makes all the little inconsistencies go away. That means if it isn't perfect the washing machine will do it's magic and when it comes out you will look like a pro!
I promise!!
This bag takes 4 colors of yarn, you will be working from a chart and you will be carrying two colors in each row.
You can do it!
It is really fun to watch the colors appear into a cool design as you knit. It is hard to put it down once you start. rav link
Skill Level: knit, purl, cast-on
Toe-up Socks - $45 ($40 for members)
Tuesday- March 16 and 23 from 6-9:30pm sign up
There are several advantages to toe-up socks. One is that you know how long to make the leg of your sock and still have enough yarn for the second sock. Another is that the toe is done at the very beginning with a very simple cast-on and that you don’t have to Kitchener stitch it at the end and there are some really nice heal variations to choose from.
Skill Level: knit, purl, small circumference knitting i.e. you know how to knit with two circulars, magic loop or double pointed needles.

I have put a break between classes to give you plenty of time to get the knitting done so you really do end up with a finished sweater at the end of class.
