MITTEN MAGIC CLASS Three 2-hour Sessions Cost: $120 (pattern & yarn to be purchased separately) Dates & Times Session 1: Saturday, October 25/25 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Session 2: Saturday, November 1/25 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Session 3: Saturday, November 8/25 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Teachers: Judy & Cheryl
Please join Judy & Cheryl to learn all of the techniques needed to knit a pair of these fabulous mittens! Feel free to enjoy wearing them yourself or gift them to someone special.
As shown in the photo below, these mittens consist of 2 layers; the outside of the mitten (left) is knit using a single strand of fingering weight yarn and the extra cozy, warm inside layer (right) is knit holding a strand of fingering weight yarn along with a strand of lace weight mohair.
Students will learn a special type of cast on, a Provisional Cast-On where your stitches remain “live” so that you can collect them later to knit in the other direction without a seam! After choosing and knitting your style of cuff from the 3 options, you will then learn to knit a beautifully shaped gusset for the thumb that fits the natural shape of our palm. Talk about comfortable! The body of the mitten will then be worked and topped off with your choice of finishes for the tip of the mitten. With the inner layer complete, students will then be guided on collecting the live stitches (that have been waiting for you), from that special cast on edge, so you can seamlessly work the outer layer of your mitten! Ingenious!

TWO-HANDED FAIRISLE KNITTING One 2-hour Session Cost: $45 Date & Time: Saturday, October 18, 2025 from 1:00 – 3:00 pm Teachers: Cheryl & Judy
Never get your yarns tangled up again! This unique stranding method makes Fair Isle knitting fast and easy with no messy floats on the reverse side. Your Fair Isle fabric will not pucker or pull. You will love to knit in Fairisle and you will never again be intimidated by intricate all-over patterns.
Unlike stranded Fair Isle knitting, the Two-Handed Method automatically eliminates any floats from occurring on the wrong side of the fabric! This is accomplished as the colour not in use is magically woven in with the colour that is in use. Here is the best part….. Your 2 yarns NEVER GET TANGLED UP! Once you have learned the 3 simple steps to this technique, you can use the Two-Handed Fair Isle method on anything Fair Isle; sweaters, yokes, shawls, wraps, cowls, scarves, mittens, hats, you name it!
