Crochet Dishcloth Scrubby One 1.5-hour Session Cost: $35.00 Date & Time: Wednesday, May 14/25 from 1:00 – 2:30 pm Teacher: Cheryl
Beginner Crocheters are most welcome as well as any of you crocheters out there that want to hone and fine tune your crocheting skills. This is a great class for one and all! Cheryl is happy to offer this class as a ‘hands on’ class. Please join us for a relaxing, fun day out!
Students will learn/review and put into practice the basic crochet skills of chaining and single crochet while creating a useful dishcloth scrubby. Attention will be given to how to keep the project square (a skill that is ever important in almost all crochet projects) and participants will learn to add a second yarn, intarsia style. Borders are crocheted with a single yarn while the middle of the cloth is made with two yarns held together. This gives the middle the “scrubby” effect!
Students will get a good start on their cloth making lots of progress in class. You can expect to be equipped with all the skill sets you need to complete the balance of the cloth at home. Once you master the skills, this cloth is a fun, useful and quick project to make and gift to friends and family. You yourself will want more than one! Rated: Beginner Pre-requisite: Knowledge of chain stitch
Includes: 1 ball Sugar ‘n Cream, 1 ball Creative Bubble and Pattern Bring to class: 4.50 mm or 5.00 mm crochet hook

Mitten Magic Three 1.5-hour Sessions Cost: $115 (includes pattern; yarn to be purchased separately) Dates & Times Session 1: Friday, May 16/25 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Session 2: Friday, May 23/25 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Session 3: Friday, May 30/25 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 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! Rated: All Knitters Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of knit stitch; beneficial to know how to work in the round.
Includes: “Mitten Magic” pattern [DP-158] Required: Students will purchase separately their choice of Fingering weight yarn (100g) or Sock yarn (100g) and Lace weight Mohair (25g) from London Yarns. There are many options available. Bring to Class: 3.25mm double pointed needle, tape measure, darning needle, scissors, pen, paper (Should any of these items need to be purchased, they are available here at the store). NEW CLASS…
