Knitting Class List

K150 - Technique Teddy Bear

Let Teddy and Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer (Jackie E-S) teach you knitting techniques used in shaping 3-dimensional forms. You will knit a small adorable teddy bear, while learning and practicing:

  • Double Knitting (makes a tube, or two-sided fabric, on straight needles for the legs, body, and arms)
  • Your choice of Kitchener Stitch or Bind Off (for joining along top of arms and shoulders)
  • Circular Short Rows (for shaping the face)

We will also cover ideas for personalizing your Teddy, including simple variations in poses, stuffing ideas, facial expressions, and wardrobe. Finished overall height of your Teddy is 8" - 12" (20 - 30 cm), and will make an enjoyable new companion for a special child or even yourself.

To take this class, you should be comfortable with these basics of knitting: cast on, bind off, k, p, ssk, k2tog and slip stitch. You should also have some experience using double point needles. If you need a refresher beforehand, check out our Knitting library.

This class consists of an introduction and three lessons. In the Introduction, you will choose any worsted weight or bulky yarn you would like to use to make your teddy bear, then swatch for needle size to make an appropriately dense yet pliable fabric. In Lesson-1, you will work Double Knitting for legs, body and arms. In Lesson-2, you will join for top of arms and shoulders, do the initial stuffing, then work the head circularly using short rows for shaping the face. In Lesson-3, you will complete the head and stuff, make the ears, and personalize Teddy with your own creative touches. This is a class that both relatively new knitters and the more advanced will enjoy — and who can resist a lovable teddy bear! Checkout Tools & Supplies needed for this class.

Three Lessons. Students with Basic knitting skills plus some experience in knitting with double point needles may benefit from this class.

K154 - Triangular Lace Shawl

Knitting lace is easier than you might think — even the simplest lace patterns look impressive and invite awe. In this class taught by Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer (Jackie E-S), we will knit a beautiful lace shawl while learning and practicing:

  • Top-down triangular lace shawl construction
  • Reading a lace chart
  • Tips and tricks for making our lace knitting a satisfying experience
  • Binding off in a lace edging
  • Blocking and care of your lace shawl

The triangle shawl design we will use in our class project is adaptable to any yarn type and can be knitted to any length. Not only will you take away new skills and tips for knitting lace, you will also create a lovely shawl made to your own personal taste in yarn and to your desired size.

This class consists of three lessons. In Lesson-1 we will start our shawls at the center back neckline, thereby allowing us to practice lace knitting on just a few stitches and learn to read a lace chart. In Lesson-2, we will focus on tips and tricks for making our lace knitting a satisfying experience. As the shawls widen, the number of stitches increases, so this will be a good time to discuss things to do to help avoid mistakes in the first place, and then cover what to do to get back on track if they do. In Lesson-3, we will learn to bind off in a lace edging, and how to block lace to release its stunning beauty.

To take this class, you should be comfortable with these basics of knitting: cast on, knit, purl, yarn over, increasing (make a stitch), decreasing (ssk, k2tog) and slip stitch. If you need a refresher beforehand, check out our Knitting library. Please see the Tools & Supplies needed for this class.

K156 - The Beads Go On

Knowing just the basics of knitting, you can easily learn to knit with beads. Come join us in this enjoyable class, taught by Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer (Jackie E-S), where we combine beads with knitting to add a fabulous touch.

Our class projects include three styles of fun and practical beaded-garter bands that can be used as wrist warmers, as ankle bracelets (a.k.a. sock-not cuffs), or as huggies for your favorite drink containers. You can look forward to exploring a myriad of color and bead placement combinations. Quick and easy knitting can turn these projects into gifts that friends and family will love, too!

You will learn about

  • How even-count charts from other fiber disciplines such as cross-stitch, needlepoint, and filet crochet can be used in designing your own beaded knitting designs
  • Preventing and correcting mistakes in beaded knitting
  • Finishing, wear and care of items knitted with beads

This class consists of three lessons with a different small project in each lesson. In Lesson 1, we will learn the basics of beaded-garter knitting while knitting with a random color mix of beads against solid color yarn. In Lesson 2, we will work a counted design in a single color or random mix of beads against solid or variegated yarn.

K106 - Modular Knitted Pillow

When you open knitting magazines these days, you find at least a couple of Mitered Squares designs. Since Horst Schultz introduced them, these squares have taken the knitting industry by storm. They allow knitters to work on multi-color patterns without the need to work with more than one color at a time. This is a plus, but you might think that you have to sew the squares together, which is a pain by itself.

In this class Nazanin S. Fard (Nazee) shows how to make Mitered Squares and knit them in a way that no sewing would be required. In this process you will learn Cable Cast-on. The finished project is a wonderful pillow with applied I-cord around the edge. Using I-cord is not only a practical way to finish your work, it also adds to the beauty of the design. Use any colors that match your décor. Then you can work on any project you find in your favorite magazine.

To take this class, you should be comfortable to work k2tog and ssk. Class has two lessons. In lesson-1, we will work the squares and make the basic pillow.

K108 - Mitered Shells Jacket

This beautiful jacket is a show stopper. The lovely shape of each shell and its position relative to the next creates a wonderful flow that compliments most body types. You can make this jacket with V-neckline and ¾ sleeves, in any color combination you like or even use it as a stash buster. Another advantage of this project is that except for the shoulder seam, there are no other seams to sew.

In this class Nazanin S. Fard (Nazee) shows you how to measure your body, and make the jacket your own size. Then she will teach you to knit the shells, join them to make the jacket. The finished project is a wonderful jacket that makes your work the center of attention anywhere you wear it.

K110 - Toe-Up Socks

The name speaks for itself; these socks are worked from toe to cuff, circularly on 4 Double Pointed needles. Alternatively, you can use 2 Circular needles. The advantage of knitting socks from toe-up is that you can try them on while you knit, so you can assure of an exact fit. The pattern used for these socks is a simple mock cable. When you learn the basics, you can replace it with any other pattern of your choice to make new socks with different patterns.

In this class Nazanin S. Fard (Nazee) will help you understand the basics. To take this class you should be comfortable to work k2tog. If you need to learn or refresh your memory on how to do this stitch, our Knitting Library is just one click away. We will discuss Pick-up and knit during class.

First you can see and hear in action how it is done, and later the way it is used. This class also has another video clip that shows how to knit on two circular needles.

Most of the instructions which are originally written for double pointed needles work the same way on circular needles. However, there are areas that instructions for circular needles are different. Such areas are clearly distinguished and explained. So you actually get two classes for the price of one.

This class has two lessons. In lesson one, we will learn to cast-on invisibly and shape the toe with short rows, then Pick-up and knit the foot. In lesson two, we will work the heel using a pattern that makes the heel sturdy, shape gusset, and finally knit the cuff.

K114 - Knitting in Strips Vest

Have you ever seen a beautiful garment that you fall in love with, but give up because it has so many different patterns that it would be very difficult to follow them all at the same time? There is an easy solution, knit each pattern in a strip, then join them (without sewing) to create a lovely garment.

In this class Nazanin S. Fard (Nazee) will show you how to knit a garment in strips and make it your own size. What is better than a custom fit garment? You will be amazed how easy it is to design your own garment in strips.

The class project is an open front, V-neck vest with 3 different lace patterns. The instructions for the lace patterns will be given both in charts and written format, so you can follow whichever you like. The flexibility of the design allows you to replace any of these 3 patterns with the pattern of your choice from a stitch dictionary.

K116 - A New Look at the Shetland Shawl

World-renowned Shetland shawls are famous for their intricacy and beauty. One of the most important points in a Shetland shawl is that they do not have a cast-on edge in any part of the shawl. That is why they are very stretchy.

In this class, taught by Nazanin S. Fard (Nazee), we will:

  • Discuss the way these shawls were done, from the outside toward the inside.
  • Knit a baby blanket or shawl that will have all the features of a Shetland shawl, but is knit from the inside toward the outside.
  • Reading Lace charts.
  • Provisional Cast-on.
  • Grafting (Kitchener stitch) Garter stitch.
  • Blocking the shawl.
For the Provisional (Open-end) Cast-on, in addition to describing it with text and photos, there are also three video clips (audio/video). First you can see and hear in action how it is done, and later the way it is used.

This class consists of three lessons. In Lesson-1 we will discuss the traditional Shetland shawl construction. Then begin working on the main panel of the shawl starting with a provisional cast-on, and we will use written instructions and charts to knit the piece. In Lesson-2 we will start working on the border and some tips and tricks, including picking up stitches that would look the same on both sides. In Lesson-3 we will work on the edging and blocking it.

To take this class you should be comfortable with these basics of knitting: Knit, purl, yarn over, increasing (make a stitch), decreasing (ssk, k2tog) and slip stitch. If you need a refresher beforehand, visit our Knitting library. Checkout Tools & Supplies needed for this class.

Instructions for knitting on two circular needles are also available in text, photos, and a video clip. The socks have short row heels. Nazee will teach the Japanese short row technique with two video clips which creates a clean look with minimal holes. The bind-off for these socks is stretchy so the cuff would not be too tight. In addition to describing this special technique with text and photos, it is also shown in a video clip.

This class which is very rich in video clips has two lessons. In lesson one, we will learn to cast-on and shape the toe by increasing to the size of the ball of foot then knit the foot.

When others see your finished gloves they will want you to knit them a pair.

These Fair Isle Gloves have three different patterns worked in traditional Fair Isle fashion, only two colors per row. In this class Diane M. Sack will show you how to knit with both hands (one color in each hand). Using this technique will cut down the amount of twisted messy yarns. You will also learn to carry the yarn along the back without any floats, read a chart for the pattern, and knit a picot hem that adds to the beauty of the gloves.

There is no need to use any bobbins for this pattern and you will practice knitting with double point needles. If you need help with knitting in round on double pointed needles check out our Knitting library. There are a lot of helpful hints through out this class that you can apply to other knitting projects too.

This class has two lessons. In lesson-1 you will learn to knit the picot hem and the body of the glove with each color in one hand. In lesson-2 you will learn to work the fingers and thumb without having any holes. Checkout Tools & Supplies needed for this class.
