We hate to wish away the last warm days of summer, but we're really looking forward to our 2nd Annual Winter Retreat, scheduled for Friday Jan. 23 and Saturday Jan. 24, 2010, at the historic Izaak Walton Inn in Essex, MT. Come join us and bring your cross-country skiis. The trails are excellent (and the fireplace is cozy, if you prefer to be indoors).The talented Janet Szabo will be returning as the instructor for the following classes:
Fitting Your Knitting, Friday, Jan. 23, 1-4 p.m.
Are you tired of making sweaters that don't fit? This class will help you knit sweaters that fit the recipient (you or someone else) perfectly. Learn about measurements and ease, adding bust darts, waist shaping, and other figure-flattering tips and tricks to make your next sweater project a success.
Cables and Beyond, Friday, Jan. 23, 6-9 p.m.
Take a trip around the world of cables. Experiment with slip-stitch cables, cables and lace, infinite cables, modular cables, cables and color, and many other techniques.
Let Them Eat Cake! Saturday, Jan. 24, 9-12 p.m.
Brioche stitches are a wonderfully fun family of stitches. Using just a few easy
techniques, create soft, lofty stitch patterns suitable for use in scarves, blankets, and other projects. This class also features a section on combining cables and brioche stitches, for those students who want a cabling emphasis.
Reversible Stitch Patterns, Saturday, Jan. 24, 3-6 p.m.
There's no "wrong side" with these stitch patterns! Versatile reversible patterns look the same front or back - great for any project where both sides should look pretty.
