Ewe Knit Kits & Yarn

Classes: Monday AM: Mitred Knitting -

"I have completed quite a few designs in Trendsetter yarns, using Mitred squares. Mitre squares take garter stitch into amazingly wonderful and colourful creations, by simply working colour stripes. Technique wise this teaches the basic of picking stitches and a simple decrease, I also teach how to work ends into the wrong side of the garter, keeping colour joins under control. These designs vary from the Mitre Vee Capelet to an A line Coco Jacket, or the Coco Throw. I teach this class by knitting a small purse."

              Monday PM : Textured Knitting - "I design my classes to take knitters from the basics into either colour or texture. Textures are moss stitch to basket stitch, bobbles & bells to cables. This helps new knitters to understand knitting, count rows and stitches, increase and decrease with bobbles, working from both written instructions and graphs. The quicker and more experiences knitters who are speeder will also work ‘traveling stitches’.  I apply this term to Aran stitches when a cable needle is used to move knit stitches across reverse st-st, forming zig zags and diamond patterns."

             Tuesday (All Day): Intarsia

"I love Intarsia, this is for the lovers of colour ready to step into an adventure. This can also be called picture knitting, using a length of yarn per area of colour, unlike fairisle when the yarn is worked across the back of the knitting. Students will learn techniques from joining yarns, colour joins without holes to following graphs. We also cover the fairisle technique of carrying and weaving in the carried yarn, as this same technique allows us to position our yarns for Intarsia. I use a lot of Intarsia in my knitting kit collection, learning the basic principles allow knitters into a whole new world!" 

The Monday classes will be either 3 or 4 hours each depending on the size of the class.  Intarsia is a 6 hour class. Jane is known for her fit and design and all of her classes have information on these topics as well.  There will be no more than 18 students per class. Skeins classes usually have 30 or more students and they are more expensive!

Our Price: $190.00 for both days and ALL classes
                   110.00 for one full day
                    60.00 per class on Monday.

There will be a lunch break.  Once we know the enrollment size of the classes, we will know the exact times of the classes.
