INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED KNITTING CLASSES

The knitting classes listed below are suitable for knitters who have been actively knitting and would like to expand their technical skills.  If you know how to knit, but it has been a few years since you picked up needles and yarn, please take the Introduction to Knitting class first.  You must be able to independently cast on, knit, purl, and bind off to enroll in these classes.

MAGIC OF MOSAIC

Mosaic and slip stitch patterns add color and often texture to your knitting.  Learn how to read charts, fix mistakes, and incorporate these stitch patterns into your projects.  By Mary Mortensen.

RANUNCULUS SWEATER

The Ranunculus sweater by Midori Hirose is a top-down pullover with a lace and textured stitch yoke.  Wispy and elegant or warm and comfy, there are lots of different yarns you can use to make this sweater.  Choose a lace or fingering weight yarn and you will have a fabric that is airy and transparent; a DK or worsted weight yarn will give you a firmer fabric with a more structured fit.  This design has become a knitter’s favorite!  By Sammy Ideus.

LEARN LADDERBACK JACQUARD—Let’s Roll Sock

Ladderback jacquard is a skill that will change your knitting for the better.  If you have tried stranded colorwork and struggled with floats, tension, or sizing, this class is for you.  Ladderback jacquard keeps the colorwork section stretchy and secures long floats.  The same needle size is used for the stranded colorwork as the rest of the sock.   Helical knitting with multiple yarns spiraling finishes the foot in the pattern.  This is not a beginner class, and you must be familiar and successful with knitting a basic sock.  By Rebecca Cook.
