LEARN TO KNIT!

Maybe you've never held a knitting needle or haven't held one since "Aunt Martha tried to teach you when you were in elementary school". Take it from the many who are hooked on it; knitting is fun, productive and, after you get the idea of it, it's very relaxing! In two lessons of two hours each you will learn the basics: cast on, knit, purl and bind off. We supply the materials to get you started on those steps and in week two you will be ready to choose a pattern, needles and yarn for your first project. Ongoing help is available when the store is open.

Sundays - 1:00 to 3:00 PM

February 12 & 19; March 11 & 18

$50.00 plus materials for one session, $10.00 for the second

SUPER SOCKS

INTERMEDIATE

These will be just the item to have by the back door to slip your feet into when you come in from the cold. Nancy Oakes will show you how to knit them in a "comfy over-size" for warmth and then needle felt your own designs to fit your personality. Those who took her class and designed their own sweater can really appreciate Nancy's talent and now have another chance to learn from her.

Saturdays – 9:30-11:30

February 18, 25 and March 3

$70.00 plus materials

DOUBLE KNITTING

INTERMEDIATE

Make a reversible headband to keep the ears warm in the upcoming months. It lends itself to showing off the school colors (black & orange, green & white, red & white, etc.) and would make a great vacation project for those students who already have learned to knit. The technique used makes garments that are as colorful as they are warm. The process can be transferred to hats and mittens. Only patience and concentration are required!

School vacation week – 2:00-4:00

February 17

$35.00 plus materials

BRAID & BOBBLE HAT

INTERMEDIATE

This hat is on display and the Fiber Trend pattern is available for purchase. It is a good way to learn to do those fancy cables and bobbles you've been thinking were too hard.

Wednesdays February 8 & 22

6:00 to 8:00 PM

$50.00 plus materials

TOP DOWN COWL COLLAR PULLOVER

INTERMEDIATE

Start at the edge of the cowl collar and work down to the bottom. Go back and pick up the sleeves and knit to the end! No seams to sew – just weave in the ends and you are good to go. Check out the Knitting Pure and Simple pattern at the desk to see if you are interested in this class.

Sundays, 1:00-3:00

February 26, March 4 and March 25

$65.00 plus materials

MARCH MARKET BAG

EASY

Carry your own market bag to the store and avoid the "paper or plastic" decision. The large size knits quickly and carries a lot of groceries.

Wednesdays, 6:00-8:00 PM

March 7 & 14

$50.00 plus materials

ALWAYS TRYING TO ACCOMODATE

We've tried to provide variety in both topics and times but we can't ever meet everyone's needs. If you like the class but not the time or date, give us a call and we'll try to re-schedule. If you have something you really want to learn how to do, give us a call. We may be able to work out a solution.

Top Down Cowl Collar Pullover

Date and Time to be determined by participants

A Customized Package For You
Sometimes our schedule doesn’t quite fit yours. Sometimes you don’t have time to prepare for the next class and aren’t quite ready for the next step.  To help with that as well as save you a little expense, we are offering a special package that allows you to purchase a “pass”.  
This pass allows you to attend any three classes of your choice for a cost of $75.00. We’ll be ready to assist you with the project you are working on and you will also have the opportunity to learn something new. We only ask that you call ahead to be sure there will be an instructor available.

 
Need Some Help With Your Knitting
We’ve all found ourselves in a box where we needed someone to give us a quick jumpstart to get going again. That’s the time to stop in for that 5-10 minute fix. If you are a Knitting Knook customer there is no charge for this.
We also offer Individualized Instruction—There is a fee of $15 per hour for one-to-one knitting assistance, we have created some times when you can be sure that assistance will be available.
Thursday: 12:00–2:00 and
Sunday: 11:00–1:00 for a fee of $15 per hour.

If you want to be sure you have an instructor all to yourself and feel you want to be assured of personal attention, call and we’ll make an appointment for a private lesson at a rate of $25 per hour. The time will be determined by your schedule and the availability of the instructor.

Always Trying To Accomodate
We’ve tried to provide variety in both topics and times but we can’t ever meet everyone’s needs. If you like the class but not the time or date, give us a call and we’ll try to re-schedule. If you have something you really want to learn how to do, give us a call.  We may be able to work out a solution.
