Sophie Scarf (2 Sessions, Room A)

Ready to take the next step in your knitting journey? Join us as we knit the beloved Sophie Scarf by PetiteKnit! This class is perfect for confident beginners who are ready to build new skills while creating a timeless accessory. Want to make yours extra special? I’ll also show you how to create a beautiful striped version using two different yarns. Striping is completely optional, but highly encouraged! Whether you choose Spincycle or mix and match any two yarns you love, it’s a fun way to create a one-of-a-kind scarf. Over the course of two sessions, you’ll learn how to confidently read a knitting pattern, count and track stitches and rows, increase and decrease for shaping, place and use stitch markers, work a polished i-cord edge, create clean stripes, weave in ends, and pick up plenty of helpful knitting tips along the way. These foundational techniques will give you the confidence to tackle countless knitting projects in the future. Please note: Between the first and second class, you’ll have time to knit independently to the designated stopping point so you’ll be ready for the next session. Please be sure both class dates fit your schedule before registering.

Come sew an apron!  This beginner friendly project uses two contrasting fabrics to make a fully reversible apron using only straight seams.  This is a great class for anyone who has gotten familiar with their sewing machine and is looking for a good project with straight seams beyond pillows or tote bags.  Students will practice measuring and trimming, stitching and turning pieces, folding and stitching straps, and threading straps through casings.  The biggest challenge of this fun and functional apron is which fabrics to choose and which side to wear!  NOTE:  This is a project class, so we will NOT be covering how to use your sewing machine; refer to Skill Details for more information.  Students are responsible for purchasing and bringing all their own supplies.
