The First Hat – Ribbed Beanie class is a great second course after completing the Intro to Knitting Course. This class begins on Monday, March 20th and gives you the option of a beanie or slouch hat. $65.
The Entrelac Scarf – Purling Backwards course is a great intro to the technique of purling backwards (sure to speed up your knitting) all while learning the unique art of entrelac. This course begins on Thursday, March 23rd and you have the option of knitting a scarf or wrap. $65.
Socks are a great portable project. Try your hand at knitting socks in the Top Down Socks Class. Class begins on Tuesday, March 28th and you’ll be addicted to sock knitting before you know it! $80.
Goldfish Memory KAL!
The KAL is officially over and it was a blast seeing all the beautiful finished wraps pop up in the Ravelry thread. If you haven’t quite finished, keep knitting away and be sure to share once your wrap is done! Check out Kerry’s final blog update here for that last inspiring push. Thanks for knitting along with us!
