Cindy Craig Market I learned to knit while chaperoning Girl Scouts in Norway.

Kellie learned to knit as a child and has been designing and teaching knitting professionally for nine years. She loves to help students feel confident and content with their knitting.

Friday 10:30am - 11:30am tt4 look, no double points Come and learn the two popular ways of using long circular needles to knit on small circumferences, such as socks, sleeves, baby hats, and the like. You’ll never have to use double points again unless you want to! The first method uses two 24-inch circulars. The second way, commonly called The Magic Loop, uses one long (32-40 inch) circular needle. Both methods can be used on any circumference of knitting, enabling knitters to go from cuff to toe of a sock or brim to crown of a hat without ever having to change needles. Knitters should already be comfortable with knitting in the round or have at least tried it before class. Materials: all needles should be US 7 or 8: two 24-inch circular needles, each of a different material if possible (such as one of metal and one of bamboo); one 32- or 40-inch circular needle of any material; few yards of smooth, plain, #4 weight yarn, wool or wool-blend preferred.

Friday 12:30pm - 1:30pm or Saturday 10:30am - 11:30am 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.

Your instructor will teach the basics of tensioning the weight yarn and picking the stitches rather than throwing.
