Clinics are technique-driven classes. We work on practice pieces, not on your knitting projects. This allows you to hone your skills before committing them to an actual project. Use the clinics to beef up your skill base. In order to sign up for Saturday Clinics, participants must have their basic knitting skills, which include casting on, knitting, purling and binding off. For the Socks on Circulars clinic, participants must already possess sock knitting skills.

Continental Knitting

Stop throwing and start picking!  Many people agree that knitting and purling continental style is faster than throw or English style knitting and purling.  Come give it a try!

7/26, 8/23, 9/6

Finishing I            
 
Are you unhappy with the way you sew your garments together?  Let us show you how to handle vertical seams, horizontal seams, and horizontal-to-vertical seams in stockinette stitch.  Make your finishing as nice as your knitting!  No supplies are needed for this workshop.
 
7/12, 8/9, 9/20


Finishing II

Are you unsatisfied with your buttonhole making or picking up stitches?  This clinic focuses on making one-row self-reinforced buttonholes and picking up stitches evenly.  Bring smooth, solid-colored yarn and appropriate needles.

7/19, 8/16, 9/27

Basic Oops     
 
Learn how to make corrections to your knitting without ripping it off the needles.  We will cover "tinking", dropping stitches and picking them back up, and more.  Bring smooth, solid-colored yarn, appropriate needles, and a crochet hook.
