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

SUMMARY:Kitchener Confidence-March 23rd 10-12

SUMMARY:Introduction to Shawls KAL\, March 2nd 1-4 and March 9th 11-2
DESCRIPTION:KAL host and instructor: Brigit Hampel\, Ravelry name – enablerqueen\nThis first shawl in the series of shawl KALs I will be hosting\, is a 3 colour elongated triangular shawl knit in Estelle’s Alpaca Merino DK.

SUMMARY:February Doldrums Banished! February 23rd 10-5
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a great day with Paula from Little Red KettleHead!!\nShe will be brings trunk loads of her fabulous hand dyed yarns in many weights and fibres.\nHere is a little bit about Paula: \nLong time Knitter and novice Spinner\, Paula fell down the rabbit hole of dyeing more than a decade ago\, evolving through experimentation and personal study. Dyeing yarns and fibres is one of the most freeing pursuits she has ever done\, satisfying both her analytical and creative sides. She puts few restrictions on herself\, so colourways change often. Life is too short to choose only a few!\nAbout 5 years ago\, a request for commission dyeing led to a partnership with Kerstin at Alpaca Avenue\, working on locally and commercially prepared Alpaca yarns\, and eventually expanded into a range of socks yarns for her shop. 2019 sees a new chapter in the evolution of Li’l Red KettleHead. She hopes you find inspiration in her offerings.\nHere is a small sampling of some of her beautiful yarns.

SUMMARY:Fearless Finishing
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Kate Atherley \n\nMany knitters avoid a lot of garment patterns because of the finishing work required\, and even the most experienced knitters often have holes in their finishing knowledge – or simply lack confidence about them. The reason is simple: information in books and patterns is often very weak in this area\, leaving knitters to try to figure it out themselves. This hands-on workshop teaches practical\, useful and sensible finishing skills. Along the way we’ll dispel a lot of common myths\, break down some common sources of confusion\, and show you short-cuts that make the finishing task easier and improve the finished project. We’ll cover the three key seaming methods – reviewing how to do them and where to use them\, including how to set in a sleeve. We’ll practice two key skills that cause problems for knitters of all experience levels: grafting (Kitchener stitch) and picking up stitches – how and where to pick them up\, how to handle large numbers of picked up stitches\, and what to do if you can’t match the number the pattern calls for.  We’ll discuss blocking\, weaving in ends and how the proper cast-ons and cast-offs can make your finishing work easier — and improve the finished result.\nBring anything you have that needs finishing. If not then bring several swatches for practice.\nClass Length: 3 Hrs
