Friday &Saturday Noon

Surrounded by all that yarn and can’t wait to pick up a pair of knitting needles or a crochet hook? Spend an hour trying a technique, learning a skill, or just playing with yarn in new ways.

New knitters and crocheters can take the next steps by learning to seam, reading the charts, or learning how to fix mistakes.

More experienced? Comfortable with lace but intimidated by charts? Fluent in Fair Isle but never tried entrelac? Market Sessions give you a taste of a technique, letting you decide if you’ll go back for seconds or say, “No thanks!”

Everyone! For one hour, explore the mystery of reversible cables and the magic of rigid-heddle weaving. Learn the basics of knitted miters or the wonder of working yarn with a hook instead of two needles.

Take one — you just may find your

new favorite thing!

Gwen Bortner Gwen Bortner is a Craft Yarn Council Certified Teacher teaching at venues throughout the country, is the author of Entree to Entrelac, and is half of the brains behind a new partnership with Kellie Nuss: Two Sides—Two Points. Gwen’s passion is teaching. Whether teaching through the local community education program, at a national knitting convention, or through her new online venture EduKnit, meeting new people and sharing the love of knitting is one of her greatest joys. Gwen’s teaching philosophy can be summed up in the following quote, “My job is to make the students’ toolbox bigger. If all you own is a hammer, everything looks like a nail! In the process of providing options, more skills are developed, and a better knitter is the result. My mantra is knitting is fun. If you add something to your knitting toolbox and have fun doing it, then I consider that a successful class.” For more about Gwen, go to www.2sides2points.com.

Friday 10:30 am - 11:30 am

TT25 Magical Reversible Cables I love when my scarves don’t have a wrong side. You’ll learn to make a cable that looks the same on both sides. It is perfect for scarves and other applications where both sides are showing. You should already be familiar with cables before taking this class.

Materials: #4 (worsted-weight) yarnin a light color, appropriately sized knitting needles, cable needle.

Friday 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

TT6 Knitted Miters Basic knitting skills such as casting on, picking up, and decreasing, combined with color and texture, create endless possibilities. Mitered knitting can become squares, rectangles, diamonds, or strips and is the foundation of some of today’s best designs. You will learn to make a basic square, to join squares as you go, and to build the squares into a project. You will also receive a pattern for a Kindle or iPad cover and begin the project in class.

Materials: 100 yards #5 (chunky-weight) yarn in 2 complementary colors and 2 double-pointed US 9 or 10 needles.

Friday 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

TT23 Charts Can Be Your Friends Don’t let a chart scare you. Many knitters prefer working from charts instead of written directions. Once you get the hang of them, charts can make knitting a lot easier. In this class you will learn the basic symbols, the basic rules for chart reading, and some tricks that make it easy. We’ll practice knitting from a simple chart while making a cozy for your coffee cup (or soda can).

Materials: Smooth, #4 (worsted-weight) yarn in a light color and US 7 needle.

Friday 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm OR Saturday 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

TT18 Uh-Oh! Fixing Mistakes All knitters make mistakes. It can be frustrating when you can’t fix them yourself, so you rip out and start over numerous times. This class focuses on the most common skills beginners need: picking up dropped stitches, correcting mistakes a few rows back, and understanding the difference between ripping back and un-knitting. These skills will help you relax when an ‘oops’ comes along.

Materials: Practice amount of #4 (worsted-weight) yarn, US 8 or 9 needles, and F, G, or H crochet hook.

Saturday 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

TT1 Short Rows Short rows can create curves and shapes in your knitted fabric. They are used for heels of socks, bust darts, and shoulder shaping. You will learn basic short rows in both garter and stockinette stitch, wrap and turn, and ‘hiding’ the wraps to make them virtually invisible. Included in this class is a pattern for a Curly Q Scarf that we will begin.

Materials: 210 yards of #4 (worsted-weight) yarn and US 9 needles.

Saturday 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

TT13 Invisible Joins—Well Nearly Invisible Joining yarn in the middle of the row can be frustrating if the join is noticeable. This class will include the Russian braided, and the knotted joins. Learn which join to do based on the fiber content of your yarn. Your next project will fly because you can’t wait to get to the end of the ball to try your new skills.

Materials: 5 yards #4 (worsted-weight) WOOL yarn in 2 colors, 5 yards each #4 (worsted-weight) COTTON yarn in 2 colors; tapestry needle.

XT12 Rigid-heddle Weaving Have you wondered what all the excitement is about weaving? Have you heard that warping the loom is difficult and complicated? During this demonstration you will see just how easy it is to set up a rigid-heddle loom and begin weaving. With very little experience, you can easily weave beautiful fabric for scarves, bags, pillows, and so much more. Let yourself learn about a new way to use your yarn. During this discussion you will see examples of how many different things can be created from the rigid-heddle loom.

After many years of teaching knitting and crochet, Deborah discovered weaving in 1996, and her love of fiber, texture, and color came together. Since then she has worked full time as a weaver and artist, including teaching fiber arts, creating and selling wearable art, giving lectures, and showing in local, regional, and national exhibits. Deborah’s work has been exhibited at galleries and museums across the country, and she has won numerous awards and written articles for national publications. Her work has been commissioned by churches and is in many private collections. Since 2004 she has been an artist in residence, teacher, and weaver at Studio Channel Islands Art Center in Camarillo, CA. Deborah loves helping knitters discover the joy of weaving.

FF7 What Every Knitter Should Know About Blocking Imagine all of your garments fitting perfectly, looking extremely well-made, and staying that way. In this class, learn when and why ‘before-you-knit and after-you-knit blocking’ is so important for every knit project. See dramatic differences between blocked and unblocked hand-knit fabrics and learn how you should approach all your knit projects. Prevent unexpected results related to gauge, shrinking, stretching, and dimensions. See the tools available to help shape your garments to give the best finished appearance. If you think blocking is just pinning in place and wetting when you’re finished knitting, this class promises to elevate your skill level.

Friday 10:30 am - 11:30 am OR Sunday 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

TT2 Continental Knitting Continental knitting involves tensioning the yarn in the hand holding the unworked stitches (for most people this is the left hand) and using the other needle to pick stitches through in a quick and efficient manner. It is a great technique to have in your knitting repetoire. It can solve a multitude of knitting problems or just be a good companion to the way you already knit. Your instructor will teach the basics of tensioning the yarn and picking the stitches rather than throwing. We will learn the knit and purl stitches and have time to practice and discuss how to transition to this useful method of knitting.

Materials: Any yarn and appropriate knitting needles for sampling.

Friday 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

CC5 Stranded Color Learn to work holding 2 colors at the same time! Commonly called Fair Isle knitting, this technique for stranding colors across the back lets you create brightly colored and patterned fabrics. While working on a small bag/hat project, you’ll practice getting an even tension (not too tight, not too loose), learn ways to prevent yarns from twisting, and try different holding techniques. Come get a taste of this classic knitting technique!

Note: Students must already be familiar with knitting in the round.

Materials: 2 balls (50 yds each) #5 (chunky-weight) yarn in 2 complementary colors and a US 10½ circular needle 16” long, measured from tip to tip.

Friday 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

TT32 I-cord on the Edge Edge your knitting as you work it! In class you’ll create a swatch with I-cord edges worked at the same time, learn how to turn a corner, execute an I-cord bind-off, and create I-cord button loops. We’ll discuss additional ways to edge with I-cord, as well as how to handle gauge considerations. Turn your swatch into a cuff or a coin purse! Note: Must know how to work a basic stockinette stitch I-cord.

Materials: 20 yds #4 (worsted-weight) yarn, set of double-pointed needles in size appropriate for yarn.

Friday 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

TT38 Pleasing Plaits The intriguing horizontal element known as Herringbone or Latvian braid is seen on garments and accessories across northern Europe and the Baltic. In this class you’ll learn how to work a simple braided cast-on, make braids across the middle of fabric, and braid while you bind off. By the end of class you’ll be planning pleasing plaits for all your projects!

Materials: 20 yds each #4 (worsted-weight) yarn in 2 complementary light or bright colors, US 7 needle, basic supplies (scissors, tapestry needle, markers, etc).

SP5 Edgier Edges Add edge to your edgings with these 2 easy, pretty beginnings. Reverse yarn overs create eyelets on the YO chain while cast-on/cast-off stitches give the picots their teeth. Sew your chains around garments, pick up stitches in them to get started, or simply add findings and wear them as jewelry!

Materials: 20-30 yds #4 (worsted-weight) yarn, in a solid, light or bright color; knitting needles in size recommended on ball band AND 1 size smaller.

Saturday 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm TT39 Criss... Cross... Cable! At its most basic, a cable is a group of stitches whose parts swap position every few rows. The maneuvering required to swap stitches is simple to learn. Their complex appearance comes about because of the many ways stitches can be grouped, arranged, and intertwined with other groups. Learn the basics of crossing cables, terminology, and how to work them from written instructions and from a chart.

Supplies: 50 yards #4 (worsted-weight) yarn in a light or bright color; US 7 needle; cable needle, any type; basic supplies (scissors, tapestry needle, markers, etc)

Saturday 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

SP6 Loopy for Loop Stitch Learn the loop technique that can create fun fur or fashionable fringe on knit fabric. In class, you’ll learn two techniques for making loops—one for each side of the fabric—plus how to make double loops in each stitch. Instructions are included for turning the class project into au courant boot toppers. Liven your projects up with loops!

Materials: 50 yds #4 (worsted-weight) yarn in a light or bright color, US 7 needle, basic supplies (scissors, tapestry needle, markers, etc).

Saturday 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

XT11 Knotting Nuttiness Cords of all kinds—cast-on, bind-off, crochet chain, I-cord, kumihimo, paracord, or just plain super-bulky yarn—can be turned into jewelry, coasters, buttons, and frogs with just a little knotting know-how. In class, you’ll learn how to tie zipper sinnets, braid knots, carrick bends, and more using a length of clothesline. You’ll go home with a step-by-step reference to remind you of which end goes where! Get nutty for knots!
