Continental Knitting

Date: Saturday July 2nd 2011
Time: 2:00 – 4:00 pm
Skill Level: No experience to Beginner (familiar with knitting and purling)
Instructor: Kira Dulaney
Class Size: 8 (min. 2)

Materials: 50 yards smooth worsted or aran weight yarn, straight or circular knitting needles in the size recommended for your yarn.

Knitting continental-style is faster than American-style, especially with knit/purl or lace stitch patterns. Switching to continental style knitting takes some patience, but in this class Kira will give you lots of tips to help you make the transition smoothly.

NOTE FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS: This class is for American-style knitters of any level, but those of you who crochet or are left-handed may find it easier to learn to knit continental-style right off the bat. This is a shorter class than the regular Beginning class, so you won’t get quite as much support, but you can always set up a private lesson to follow up later on.

Cost$ 28.00 per person (materials not included)

Crochet Amigurumi Day 2

Beginning Crochet Amigurumi: Bird or Dragon
Two part class on Saturday 6/25 & 7/2
Level of Experience: Must know how to do chain stitch and single crochet
Recommended Age Group: Age 8 and up
Class Size: 8 (min. 2) – 7 spaces left
Instructor: Kira Dulaney

Materials for bird (dragon): 70(160) yards smooth yarn in worsted weight to bulky weight (larger yarn will make a larger toy), crochet hook that makes a dense fabric with your yarn in single crochet, darning needle, scissors, safety eyes 5mm-12mm depending on the size of your toy (not needed until 2nd class), removable stitch markers.

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals. Learn the basics of amigurumi by making this cute, quickly crocheted bird or dragon. Kira will have instructions as well as stuffing for your toy and felt for the bird’s beak. A bird crocheted with worsted weight yarn will be approximately 4″ tall and a dragon crocheted with aran weight yarn will be approximately 7″ tall. Amigurumi toys are all the rage right now, and a great way to improve your crochet skills on a small project. This is a great skill building class for beginning crocheters, plus you get to have a fun friend to take home!
