Classy! (Round-up for Sept. 22-28)

We’re still cranking out our exciting fall classes! This is what’s coming up in the last week of September:

Slipping Stitches:
Learn all about slipped stitch knitting, starting with the basics. Dawn Seymour will demonstrate various combinations of slipped stitches and talk about working slipped stitches in conjunction with other techniques (like short rows.)

For swatching: Bring (or be prepared to buy) two skeins of contrasting smooth yarn and one skein of an “interesting” (bumpy, nubby, variegated) yarn. Worsted weight is suggested. For the hat: you can use the same yarn as the swatches, or use two different skeins in worsted weight – on smooth and solid, one “interesting”, in coordinating colors. Bring US size 7 and 9 circular needles (16″ length) and dpns in size 9 (or a size to match your yarn), as well as a tapestry needle.
