SUMMARY:Hexa Hap KAL With Brigit\, Dec. 7th and Jan.11th 11-2:00
DESCRIPTION:“A hap is a Scottish dialect word for a simple shawl or wrap”.  from A Book of Haps \nI think some of the most beautiful designs are created from the simplest of stitches and the Hexa Hap is just one of these. This 6 sided wrap is constructed by knitting each triangle one at a time and then building off of that triangle by picking up and knitting stitches to form the next triangle. The border and the main body of the shawl are knit at the same time by using an intarsia technique so that the front and the back are totally reversible. This project is designed to help you build new skills as it incorporates intarsia\, i-cord edging\, short rows\, picking up stitches\, and the kitchener stitch. It is a larger project but we will work on it one triangle at a time and before you know it you will have a wonderful wrap that could also be used as a lap blanket.\nIf the full Hexa Hap seems too daunting a task\, you can also knit the 1/2 Hexa or the 3/4 Hexa Wrap. \nSuggested yarn for this project is Juniper Moon’s Patagonia but you could use a number of other sport/DK weight yarns. You will need 1300 yards for MC and 600 yards of CC. (4 skeins for MC\, 2 skeins for CC in Patagonia) \nThe pattern is available on Ravelry as an individual pattern or as an e-book. There are many great designs so if you are interested in knitting other patterns from this book I highly recommend getting the book. There is a large section on the history of Haps and their design too.\nCost: $60+ Materials. The amount of yarn you use depends on which size you do.\n$60.00Read more

SUMMARY:KAL with Brigit: Not so Mini Mini's- Sept. 21st and Oct. 5th\, 11-2
DESCRIPTION:Knitting Accessories with Not so Mini Minis. \nWe have all seen them\, the multitude of projects knit with mini skeins of yarn. These minis are often sold in tiny 100 yards or less skeins. But what if the project you want to knit takes just over 100 yards? I found this to be the case with The Crown Wools by Casapinka. The 100 yard minis I purchased were just shy of what I needed. But then I discovered Drops Baby Merino which comes in 50 gram balls/191 yards\, and in a multitude of colours. Now I have more than enough to knit The Crown Wools Scarf and something else. That is when I discovered BMC (Betty Mouat Cowl) by Kate Davies. This cowl is the perfect project to use up the left over yardage from my first project. The Crown Wools Scarf requires 12 colours\, and the BMC (Betty Mouat Cowl) uses 9. Two great projects from one yarn purchase! \nIn this class we will knit both projects\, in the first class will we start the scarf and in the 2nd class we will start the cowl. Don’t worry if you have not finished the scarf. All you need is to have finished a few sections of the scarf so you can start the cowl with the leftovers from your first few colours. \nI will also be showing you how to join your colours so that you don’t have many ends to sew in once your are finished knitting.\nPlease bring in 2 colours of yarn in the same weight to practice this technique.\nWe will also be looking at how to knit garter stitch in the round as demonstrated in the Kate Davies video that comes with her pattern. \nThis class is 2 – 3 hour classes: Saturday September 21st and Saturday October 5th from 11am-2pm\nMaterials: 12 balls of Drops Baby Merino for the two projects $83.40\, Class Fee $60 ($140.00 for both)\nYou may purchase the patterns through the links provided below: \nThe Crown Wools\n  \nBMC Cowl\n \nFor yarn and class:\n\nClass fee only:

SUMMARY:Yarn Over Magic\,  July 13th\, 11:00-2:00
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Brigit \nOne of the most versatile of stitches in knitting is the “Yarn Over”. It is pretty straight forward but at times seems complicated because sometimes you need to really think about where your yarn needs to be to knit or purl that next stitch. \nOnce you wrap your brain around “Yarn Overs”\, it’s amazing all the wonderful ways it adds texture and interest to your knitting.\nIn its simplest form it is a basic increase stitch. Coupled with decreases\, it creates eyelets\, mesh and lace.\nOn its own it can be used in drop stitched designs and pushed a little further\, the simple “Yarn Over” dropped and crossed creates the Indian Crossed stitch used in patterns such as the Hipster Shawl.\nPushed a little further\, the “Yarn Over” creates magic!\nYou will need to bring yarn and needles and stitch markers so you can knit samples.\nStudents will be given written pattern instructions for all the stitches covered in class as well as a list of pattern suggestions for when you are ready to go from swatches to projects.\nCost:$55 \n$55.00Add to cart
