Equinox Sweater: this is a two-session class: January 12th and 26th,
10am-12pm
Fee: $30 includes pattern Instructor: Doris Prokop Limit: 8
participants
The Equinox Sweater is a favorite pattern from Interweave
Knits' Knitscene. The entire sweater is knit from the top-down, there is no
purling and no seaming. It is the perfect beginner's sweater! Of course, all
levels of knitters are welcome, but this is a great project for those ready to
move on from scarves and hats. :)
As per instructions from Doris, the
best yarn to purchase is that of 50% or higher of animal fiber (wool, alpaca,
etc.). This helps with blocking and counteracting the rolling of hems. We at
Warm Hearts Yarn are happy to help you find a great yarn for this sweater! All
yarn purchased specifically for this class will receive a 10%
discount.

to design a knitted sweater of your choice, using the yarn of your choice. We

Heidi will be available during store hours to help with any questions or

1:30-3:00p.m.
Fee: $25 includes all supplies (Please note: This is a
three-week class; the $25 fee covers all supplies and three weeks of
instruction) Instructor: Katie Brousseau
During this class participants
will learn basic knitting skills (cast on, knit stitch, bind off and seaming)
while making a knitted ball/beanbag. While all elementary-aged children are
welcome, it has been my experience that the fine motor coordination involved may
be difficult and frustrating for children under the age of eight. Exceptions can
always be made, and we strive for classes to be enjoyable experiences for all
children. Limit: 8 participants
Below you will find a list of our current adult classes. Classes may also be
found on our store calendar on the website's
Calendar Page.
Thank you for your interest, and please feel free to email Katie at
classes@warmheartsyarn.com with any questions.
