class $45
cocoknits’ “famous footwear” class Julie will go over each of the patterns and give everyone a head’s up on techniques or tricks for each pattern… loafers, ballet flats, fleeced boots or prairie boots.
Special added feature for this class: extreme thrumming or fleecing.
In this part of the class we will work on a removable, fleeced sole to line slippers so students should have a finished product by the end of class! Julie shows show you how to work the fleece in as you knit and then full it so that it looks like lambswool lining!

part workshop, part dress-up party! Julie gives a short talk with hand-outs and visuals on what to look for and avoid when choosing patterns for your body type. Then everyone tries on the sweaters from the trunk show and we give each other feedback on what works, what doesn’t and why!

Wonderful yarn + great stitch pattern +16 or 24 inch circular needles = the perfect cool weather accessory!

In this class you will learn how to construct an impressive and unique, yet simple cowl. A stitch pattern and a few guidelines are all you need. This is the perfect project for yourself out of that skein of cashmere you’ve been eyeing, or a fast and easy knit using some of our new fall yarns for everyone on your holiday list. The cowl method is versatile, fun, very functional and the must have fashion accessory. I’ll bring stitch patterns and ideas to mix and match for a unique-to-you creation, you bring the yarn and needles and be ready for a fun and creative time!

Materials: approximately 100-150 yards worsted weight yarn. 16 or 24 inch circular needles in the size recommended for your chosen yarn. (You may want to bring a couple of different size needles if you have them, just to play a bit with gauge.) If you want a close fitting cowl, 16″ needles are great. If you want a big slouchy cowl, 24″ will work better.
