WoolWinders Class Descriptions

|
|
Safari Knitting Groups:
|
Our most popular classes! Pick any project of your own choosing and work in a group setting with an
instructor over the course of a month. A wonderful way to advance your skills and make new friends.
Basic knitting skills required: casting on, knitting, purling, casting off.
|
|
Knitting Clubs: |
Our newest offerings! Pick a project of your own choosing relating to the specific club’s technique
and knit in a group (cable, lace) environment facilitated by other members and an instructor. An

basics of your technique. The clubs are not for beginners in these techniques.
|
|
Teensknit! Club:
|
Calling all teens ages 12 and up! Discover the joy of knitting/crocheting with friends and creating
special, one-of-a-kind projects you make yourself. An instructor will be on hand to help you with
project ideas or with a project of your own choosing. But remember, this is not a learn to knit/crochet
class, you must know how to cast on and make the knit stitch or a single crochet stitch.
|
|
Master Knitting Club: |
Have you heard about the Master Knitting Program and thought it would be fun and educational?
This is your chance to see what it’s all about and get some assistance along the way. The first session
will be an overview of the program and getting started on your swatches. Following sessions will
focus on steady progression of your skills set. Pre-requisites: Basic beginning knitting skills and
TKGA membership and Master Hand Knitting Program- Level I registration required prior to
the first session.
|
|
Project of the Month Classes:
|
Do you love to create something new but need ideas? Like to learn new techniques while working on
a specific project? Then these are the classes for you. Each month we will offer a new project which
you will work on during each class session over the course of the month under an instructor’s
supervision. Since these classes may often introduce new techniques, basic knitting skills (casting on,
knitting, purling, casting off) are required. These are not beginning knitting classes.
Materials: Specific materials for each class will be posted on the blog prior to the first class.
|
|
Technique Classes: |
Continental Knitting: Continental knitting is a method of holding the yarn in the left hand, and it
can be a very fast, efficient way to knit. It may be useful in a variety of circumstances: if you want to
knit with less movement, want to be able to do stranding with one color in each hand, or if you just
want to knit faster. Students must know how to cast on, knit, and purl.
Materials: One ball of smooth worsted weight yarn, and knitting needles of a size appropriate to the
yarn.
|
|
|
Introduction to Knitting Socks: Socks are fun, useful, and very portable projects. In this class you
will learn the basics of knitting socks, including working on double-pointed needles, turning a heel,
and weaving stitches at the toe using the Kitchener stitch. You will complete a mini-sock in the class.
Students must know how to cast on, knit, purl, decrease stitches, and pick up stitches.
Materials: One ball of smooth worsted weight yarn, a darning/tapestry needle, and a set of 4 double-
pointed needles in sizes US 5, 6, or 7. A crochet hook would also be helpful but not necessary.
|
|
|
Introduction to Entrelac Knitting: Entrelac is a technique for knitting interlaced rectangles that
appear to be interwoven, giving a basketweave effect. The technique makes use of short rows and
picking up stitches. In this two-hour class you will learn the basic technique by knitting a swatch, and
will discuss other uses for the technique. Students must know how to knit, purl, decrease, and pick up
stitches.
Materials: Worsted weight yarn in two different colors and needles of an appropriate size for the
yarn. A crochet hook for picking up stitches may be helpful, but not necessary.
|
|
Private Lessons:
|
Private lessons are available by appointment with skilled instructors for all aspects of knitting. The
cost for a one-hour private lesson for one person is $35/hour. The cost for a one-hour private lesson
for two people is $50/hour. For more information or to schedule a private knitting/crochet lesson,
