*Using Japanese charts in Western knitting patterns (1 hour) $20

Maybe you’ve taken Takako’s class on translating Japanese patterns (but it’s not a prerequisite for this class). So how about using those charts to knit an American pattern? I’ll show you how to chart your written pattern so you can see where you are with a glance (rather than reading through paragraphs). Working a pattern this way also increases your ability to move back and forth between Japanese and Western patterns.

what not to knit (in conjunction with a trunkshow) 1 class 1.5 hours $25

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!

Instructor: Mary Petty Sarley 1day $75

Learn to “naturally” dye yarn (using plants grown on Mary’s ranch).
Get a tour of the ranch where Mary performs her magic!

Enjoy coffee & treats in the morning… breath the intoxicating fresh air & view of all the animals that the fabulous fibers come from. AHHHHmazing!

“Twirl” is the perfect name for the luscious fibers Mary creates using Alpaca, Wool, & Mohair, sheered from all her own animals. It’s like she raises her magic wand, twirls it around & lovely fibers are perfectly blended and dyed. Magic yarn!

Things to bring: Sack Lunch, clothing to dye in, a big smile, oh and Mary will have her contraption set up so we can all buy yarn.
Carpooling is encouraged, we will meet on Old Sonoma rd. and wagon train in!

Anytime Tank
Instructor: Sherri $40 2classes

A super cute tank that can be worn alone, or as a layering piece over short or long sleeved tees, turtlenecks, or whatever you like. Versatile, and light weight, the length of the tank can be shorter or longer, as you wish! You can measure a favorite top from underarm to hem edge to get an idea about your desired length. This piece is knit in-the-round up to the underarm.

We used ShiBui linen (3 skeins) and size 7 needles for the store sample. One note: Before washing, the length to the underarm measured 18 inches. After washing (by hand, hang dry) the length relaxed to 19 inches.

Recommended yarn gauge: 4.5 - 6 inches per inch, with needles to meet gauge; 2 stitch holders and 4 stitch markers.
Approximate yardage: 600 yds for 18 inch length.
