- Tips, Tricks & Hints - 3 hrs
and Join as You Go Knitting - 3 hrs
Tips, Trick and, Hints
Proficiency Level: Advanced-Beginner
Description: Learn all the little
secrets to make knitting life easier and
better. Find out how to cast on in 2-tail
method without running out of the second tail.
Join a new skein of yarn or a new color without
losing that first stitch. See ways of
attaching buttons as you work. Create
invisible circular bind offs on a neck where the
beginning and end are absolutely
imperceptible. Weave in those little ends that
are too short to put through a darning needle.
Take away lots of small “fix-its” and improve those
details.
Join as You Go Knitting
Proficiency Level: Intermediate.
Description: Most knitters avoid
seaming like the plague. When working garment pieces
or different colored strips, sewing seams daunting.
Learn how to join as you go for many situations,
including edgings. Join a new piece to the left of
an existing piece, to the right of an existing
piece, or to the top or bottom of an existing piece.
Saturday, May 11
- Beadaring, Beadelighted, Beadazzled, Bead
Knitting! - 6 hours.
Proficiency Level: Intermediate.
Description: Beads may be glamorous or
primitive, glitzy or rustic, delicate or bold.
They invariably impart a texture and dimension to
our knits. Whether added on
spontaneously as we knit, added on after the fact,
or planned and mapped out ahead of time, the results
will always garner attention and admiration.
Learn the many ways of applying different types of
beads. Find out which method is best in which
situation. See the effects on different kinds
of materials. "Draw a bead" on new techniques
to achieve all this.
** Special Note: $20.00 materials fee will be
charged for many, various, assorted bead types and
colors, special beading hook, and special bead
threader.

Proficiency Level: At least

the plague. In this class, learn all the
different sleeve types and their variations:
drop shoulder, square set-in, angled armhole, saddle
shoulder, raglan, dolman, puff, and the dreaded,
classic set-in sleeve. Covered are: how
they fit in relation to its armholes, how to figure
measurements, how to plan and chart, and how to
check fit.
