On Friday Feb. 23 and Saturday Feb. 24 we'll participate in the North Island Sewing & Needle Arts Show 2007 in Campbell River; click this link for the program.We will have a booth (see photo of our last year's booth) with our yarn products, knitting accessories and display of some finished projects in the Merchant Mall plus we'll offer 3 knitting classes. You may sign up for them by following the instructions on the program.
Knitting Socks on 2 Circular Needles with Pam Dobbs
Learn to knit socks faster with 300 fewer "intersections" per average pair of socks. It is very simple to adapt your favourite sock pattern or apply the same technique to mittens and hats.
Finishing Techniques with Pam Dobbs
Give your hand knitted garments a professional finish. Learn how to finish a seam, pick up stitches around a neckline or jacket front, apply a zipper and darn in those ends.
Knitted Lace with Lois Laliberte
Learn the basics, how to read a chart, materials and needles to use. Lois will take you through the steps to knit an angel.(Participants are not able to do a lace knitting project in these 45 minutes. Lois will have samples and one work in progress, explains all the lace knitting symbols, techniques and the materials needed and will hand out written instructions. It's not a hands-on class.We might come up with a kit which we would sell at our booth, but it is not part of the class.)
If you are not living here: make it a retreat weekend in Campbell River and swing by our shop!
