Get Knitting: Baby or Adult Beanie
2023-04-18 12:00 - 16:00 UTC | McKinney Knittery, 117 W. Louisiana St., McKinney, TX, 75069, United States
You have nailed all the basics…time to step it up! Come make a chunky beanie with your new knitting juju. You will cast on and join in the round, knit some ribbing, and then decrease your way in circles to the crown. You can decide whether you prefer to use shorter circulars and double-pointed needles for your project OR the magic loop method using longer circular needles (class supplies indicate what length circulars you will need for magic loop). The class pattern includes instructions for infant, youth, and adult-sized hats. Make one for yourself or a gift. This is a great way to learn all the techniques needed for any size of hat! (Please Note: This class will require pre-work. You will receive pre-work instructions via email following class registration.)

Get Knitting: Simple Sequence Knitting
2023-04-14 13:00 - 16:00 | McKinney Knittery, 117 W. Louisiana St., McKinney, TX, 75069, United States
Make your own stitch patterns! This class is excellent for both beginners and experienced knitters who want to up their game. Sequence knitting repeats combinations of stitches row-by-row to create unique, (often) reversible fabrics. If you love knitting textures or are looking for new ideas to combine yarns (especially variegated yarns), this is for you. We will use knits, purls, and a tiny bit of knitting math (no worries – I will help!) to make stitch patterns line up or serpentine across the fabric. We will spend most of the class practicing simple sequences to understand the process and then you will have time to invent your own sequences with the techniques that appeal to you most.
