Any Sweater You Like Everyone loves sweaters, but they’re often a bit intimidating. But if you take them piece-by-piece, you will be successful. Cynthia is a sweater fanatic, and she’ll help you through the process with enthusiasm. This class is for everyone, from very beginner who is doing the Einstein coat or a simple raglan, through advanced sweater knitters, who are working on cables and Fair Isle. Saturdays, January 23, February 27, March 6, April 10 & May 8, 9:00 a.m.-12:00  SORRY, THIS CLASS IS FULL.  

Baby Surprise Jacket Everyone loves this darling little sweater with the mitered corners. Making it is a mysterious process: You will knit a shape that looks like a large potato chip. Fold it, and voila—a sweater.  Wednesdays, April 21 & 28, 6:00-9:00  

Beginner Hat  Once you’ve learned the basics, try making a hat. Hats are fun and easy, and it’s a great project after you’ve made your first scarf. If you can cast on and do a knit stitch, you’re ready for the hat. Saturdays, February 13 & 20, 1:00-3:00  

Better Bobbles Bobbles add whimsy and fun to cable patterns. Learn different ways of making bobbles to enhance your knitting and make your life easier. In this class you'll learn to knit backwards, as well as tips for making bobbles behave and stay on the right side of the knitted piece. Alice will also cover some cable tips if time permits.

Cute Bunny Our cute bunny has floppy legs and arms, cute paws, a chubby tummy, ears lined in pink, and a sweet face. It’s so simple to make that you’ll finish in time to tuck it into a special Easter basket. Wednesdays, March 24 & 31, 6:00-9:00  

Drop Your DPs Double-pointed needles are great for knitting in the round when you have just a few stitches. But sometimes they aren’t always the best option. (Have you ever dropped a DP needle while knitting in the car?) You can use circular needles for the same thing. Alice will teach you two options: the Magic Loop and two circular needles.  Saturday, April 24, 2:30-5:30  

Efficient Knitting Cynthia has been studying how people knit. Some are faster, some slower. She took the videos. (If you would like to contribute to her collection, stop by to be filmed!) She has analyzed these videos, and will give you tricks for knitting faster, and more efficiently. It will take practice to get better, but you can do it! And maybe you’ll get those Christmas presents done sooner than you expected! Thursday, April 8, 6:00-9:00 Thursday, April 8, 6:00-9:00  

Juliette Scarf Simple shapes can make the most interesting designs. Case in point is the Juliette Scarf. It’s just a square; the secret is in that one buttonhole, strategically placed! You can use any yarn, but Cynthia used Iro for a fast knit. Choose 4 fabulous buttons, and you've got a great look! This class would be great for beginning knitters who want to brush up on their knitting and purling, or for anyone who wants an easy, fun project!  Tuesday, March 2, 6:00-9:00  

Knitted Flowers Join Cynthia Mazzant and create your own knitted flower garden. These flowers make great accents for purses, hats, scarves, and even sweaters. Or you can even make them into a brooch. This class is a great stash buster: Bring stash yarn in your prettiest flower colors and you can trade with each other!  Mondays, May 17 & 24, 6:00-9:00  

Norwegian Purl Cynthia doesn’t usually knit using the Continental method, but she absolutely loves it for ribbing or seed stitch. And what makes it work for her is the Norwegian Purl. With this method, you barely have to move your hand to switch between knitting and purling. With a little practice, she could do ribbing in half the time! If time allows, she’ll show other knitting techniques from around the world.Tuesday, May 4, 6:00-9:00  

Odd Bod Bunch Join Cynthia Mazzant and make your own lovable family of odd-bods. These quirky stuffed creatures, designed by Donna Wilson, have their own personalities and stories.

Each one is individual and unique.  Mondays, April 12 & 19, 6:00-9:00

Steeking Knit it then cut it, but don’t sweat it! It’s not overstating the case to say that steeking terrifies knitters! All those hours spent knitting just to cut it up? What if it all falls apart? Trust us, it won’t fall apart and it’s really not scary at all. Let Cynthia hold your hand in this class while you learn just how safe steeking really is. Once you understand how it works, you’ll never be scared again.  Saturday, February 6, 2:00-5:00 (Sorry, this section is full--call to sign up for the May session.)  OR Wednesday, May 5, 6:00-9:00   

Twined Knitting Twined knitting is a traditional Scandinavian technique in which you knit with two strands of yarn and twist the strands between stitches. Twined knitting forms a fabric that is denser and warmer, making it perfect for winter weather accessories. Learn this technique with Cynthia Mazzant and choose your own project.  Mondays, February 15 & March 1, 6:00-9:00
