February 8th and 9th in the studio

PS
The February classes
now up on the site----yeay! And Ms Sonya has agreed to teach the 2 versions of the fabulous EZ February Lady Sweater
----the adult and the child's----pic above. Thank you Sonya! Oh and the EZ refers to Elizabeth Zimmerman not to "easy". Definitely not.

PPS The bags are the ones people did in the Beginning Sewing Class. Aren't they amazing?


Due to circumstances beyond our control---ha!----the February classes are not up on the site yet. (Fingers crossed--they might be up later today)

So I thought I would try to give you a little preview. If you would like to reserve your space in any of these classes, e-mail me at: queenbee@knitoneone.com

On Saturday we have the skirt class----mentioned last week. I hung up the second sample in the studio window and it has been getting loads of compliments. Kira reminded me to mention that you will learn how to put in a zip and to finish off your seams---flat and fell and French---this of course in addition to all the other nuggets you will glean. I was so impressed with Kira in the beginning classs that I am seriously considering taking the skirt class----as a student--not as queenbee!
Date: Saturdays, February 7, 14, 22. Time: 2:00 to 4:30 pm

Ms Cocoknits herself will be on hand to teach the Fleeced Ear Flap hat. Now I know that in this balmy weather it is very hard to imagine wearing this creation. But......trust me. My stay in NYC and in Ireland would have been much much more comfortable with this fleecy wonder. And even if you can't imagine needing it yourself, we all have friends and relatives in colder climes, don't we! The technique used is called "Thrumming"----sounds like a musical term doesn't it. But in fact it has to do with working the fleece into your knitting so that it doesn't show on the right side. A very useful thing to know. Date: Sundays February 8 and 15. Time: 11:30 am to 1:30pm

Intarsia anyone? If you have always wanted to learn the technique, come on down to this 2 hours workshop with Ms Carrie. After this workshop you will be intarsiaing everything in sight.

Sunday February 8. Time: 11:30am to 1:30 pm

Dates: Sundays Feb 8, 15, 22 and March 8 (we skip a week). Time: 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm
