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.

Looking for a demure, modest, cute sweater for the fall?  The Field sweater pattern ($10) is a circle yoke project with an intricate yoke and simple stockinette body.  The pattern uses increases, short rows, and has special grain stitch for the yoke.  Yarn can be a DK weight yarn, or two yarns held together.  Come by the shop and we can help you pick a yarn base that fits your fiber preference and laundry requirements.  Get tips and tricks to make this an enjoyable process and produce a great addition to your wardrobe.  If you can do basic knit stitches, you will have the skills needed for class; more advanced techniques and stitches will be covered during class.  By Rebecca  Cook.
