Join our all-star knitting instructor, Dedra, as she walks you through every detail of making your very own sweater. At the end of this class, you'll have a very cute, very sporty pullover that you'll proudly wear everywhere! Class meets five times over the course of seven weeks to knit Varsity Sweater by Lamb & Kid Designs.
Class 1: Starting out right! In this first class, we'll cover the all-important gauge swatch - how to do it right and what to do if you're not getting gauge. We will also discuss different types of sweater construction, top down, bottom up, cardigans and pullovers.
Class 2: All about the yoke. We'll learn how to use short rows to shape the neckline for elegance and a comfortable fit and, at the same time, we'll be working those raglan sleeve increases.
Class 3: Getting to the meat of it. This week we'll tackle the sleeves and body of the sweater. Once your sleeve stitches are secured, cables are adjusted and a few rows are under your belt, it's smooth sailing from here! We'll send you off on a two-week break to knit, knit, knit on your own with the goal of coming back with a completed, bound off sweater body.
Class 4: School's back in session! We'll gather together again and jump in on those sleeves, learning how to shape them, along with strategies for making them the perfect length.
Class 5: Graduation Day! We will finish our sweaters strong and celebrate the big win! We'll talk about finishing techniques and how to care for your handmade heirloom.
Congratulations, you've graduated to Sweater Knitter!

Held on the First Friday of every month from 5-7pm!
Join us on the First Friday evening of every month for a FREE community gathering of stitches. We’ll keep the doors open from 5-7pm for community stitching time paired with refreshments, raffles, and discounts on select items.
Bring Your Own Cup (BYOC) if possible please. Space is limited in our small shop and seating is available on a first come, first served basis. We can't wait to welcome you, your project and your great big smile!
If you’re stuck on a knitting project or just not sure how to interpret some tricky pattern directions, never fear! Our knitting experts are here!
Help Sessions are offered on a first-come, first-served drop-in basis, with space for 6 at a time. Stop by the shop and get back on the road to happy stitching again each Wednesday and Saturday from 1:00-3:00pm.
Weekly on Thursdays from 1-3pm
Bring your crochet projects and join fellow crocheters at Fancywork every Thursday from 1-3pm. This 2-hour hook session is designed specifically to foster community among the crochet crew. All skill levels are welcome in this weekly drop-in event. No need to reserve a spot ahead of time. Just join us in the shop. We can't wait to see what you're working on!
Please note: While we encourage crochet for people of all ages, this event is geared towards ages 18 and above. If you are interested in a crochet event for you or someone you care for under the age of 18, please let us know. We'd love to put together an event just for the younger set!
In this class you'll learn to liberate your pullovers into cardigans in Icelandic Lopapeysa-style. Working in miniature and with first-hand knowledge passed from Icelandic Knitter, Hélène Magnusson to your instructors, we'll share the secret super powers of knitting stranded colorwork cardigans with Icelandic wool. In order to lessen the anxiety of steeking, our project will be a doll-sized sweater perfect for holiday gifting to a little loved one or keeping as a reminder to yourself that you can do amazing things!
Your takeaways from this class will include color selection, color dominance and proper tension in stranded colorwork knitting, bottom-up construction, using short-row shaping in ingenious places for a better fit, building in that all-important steek gusset and how to make sure your sweater doesn't unravel on you. Then we will fearlessly and deftly cut our cute sweaters right up the center, pick up a tidy edge and learn how to finish with either a button band or a zipper!
Along the way we'll talk about Icelandic sheep, the history of the iconic lopapeysa, and why knitting with lopi yarn is different than knitting with other yarns.
All materials and equipment other than knitting needles will be included for this class. Plus we'll have a little gift for you at the end to celebrate your success. Join us for what's sure to be a wildly fun class!
