Workshops & Events

Interested in Intarsia? This workshop will prepare you to knit the birthday sweaters-- One! Two! Three! and Four! Five! Six! Tackle the intricacies of intarsia to add blocks and motifs of colour to your knitting. You'll learn all the basics including joining colours, avoiding holes, managing all those ends and tangles, and reading graphs. We'll also cover tension issues. There is nothing to fear and by the end of the workshop, you'll have the confidence to work with colour.

Strategies for Knitting with Self-Patterning Sock Yarns Intrigued by the wonderful self-patterning, printed sock yarns? This class is for non-sock knitters and sock knitters alike.
Learn some tricks for working with this magical yarn. Explore various stitch patterns and combine with solid colours.
Discover the joys and limitations of self-patterning yarns to make better choices when selecting yarn for your next project. I must confess, this is one of my favourite workshops!

Modular Magic Knit a cell phone or ipod cozy in three modular strips using self-patterning sock yarn. Have fun watching the stripes in the yarn appear as you learn to join your strips together on both the RH and LH edges of this seamless project. Skills learned in this class will have you ready to knit the wonderfully seamless Jamie sweater.

Pretty Picots
Learn to knit matching picot cast-on and picot bind-off edgings. They're so dainty and delicate and will give a girly touch to any basic project.







The Crochet Hook A crochet hook or two should be in every knitter’s bag. Join Holli to learn an array if trusty tricks and techniques to add to your repertoire. You will build your skills as a knitter and learn alternate ways to cast on, bind off, seam, incorporate beads and reclaim those pesky dropped stitches or correct errors.

 

Tip-Toe-Up Socks Knit a mini sock on two circular needles while learning a beautifully invisible Turkish cast-on for a toe-up sock. The heel is worked after the sock is complete and can be replaced as the heel wears out as many times as you need to replace it.

Unwind Knit & Fibre Lounge

Gibsons , BC
Around and Around (a.m.)
Learn to knit in the round while you have fun creating a one-of-a-kind coffee cozy that makes a perfect gift for your favourite coffee addict. We’ll have you using a set of double-pointed needles like a pro by the end of the class. Your java jacket will be shaped by changing needle size and it will sport a rolled hem to catch the coffee drips and a pretty picot bind-off.

Interested in Intarsia? (p.m.)
Tackle the intricacies of intarsia to add blocks and motifs of colour to your knitting. You’ll learn all the basics including joining colours, avoiding holes, managing all those ends and tangles, and reading graphs. We’ll also cover tension issues. There is nothing to fear and by the end of the workshop, you’ll have the confidence to work with colour.
