[Public] Knitting and Crochet Classes at iKnit London, through December!`

[kniteracy]

Here is my autumn-into-winter schedule of classes at iKnit London.

Crochet classes last two hours and will give you the basics.
The beginning knitting classes are spread over three Thursday evenings and will cover all kinds of good stuff, from the very basics to interpreting patterns, fixing simple mistakes, and planning a first project.
The Christmas Stocking class is a project class; we'll make a Christmas stocking out of wool supplied by the shop, and it's a great way to learn the basics of sock knitting on a large scale, as Christmas stockings are socks, too!

Single-evening Crochet Classes:
6:30-8:30pm, unless otherwise specified

8 October
5 November
3 December

Beginning Knitting Courses:
Current class (not joinable):
17 and 24 September, 1 October
16, 23, 30 October
6, 13, 20 November
27 November, 4, 11 December

Make Your Own Christmas Stocking
11, 18, 25 October, 1pm-2:30pm

You can sign up for any of these classes from the iKnit London web page. Needles and wool are supplied for all beginning classes, and we are supplying wool for the stocking class but you may need to bring your own needles for that one.

I am not offering another Fair Isle class this year; they have a Fair Isle class which is being taught by somebody else, though.

Alas, sock classes have not done terribly well at IKL, mostly because there's nother store in London that is offering very popular ones, and there's no need to create competition where there doesn't need to be any.

Personally, I am available to answer questions and help with snags, mostly for free, via email or through this journal. If you want to learn how to do something complex and scary, get in touch with me and I'll supply you with private tutoring rates if you're interested.

I have mentioned a) you and b) the knitting classes at IKL, to a friend at the archery club, who was admiring me knitting the Dalek last night. I showed her a couple of tricks (thumb cast on, Magic Loop), and said she should try and get to IKL for a beginner's class.

She was very interested in learning knitting in the round on two circulars, too - I might have to take a couple of needles and some yarn up tomorrow (barbecue/fun shoot night) and demonstrate!

I hope they all go well. One of these days I'll be in the same place as you and pick your brains on one of the squillion things you know how to do with sticks and string, but for now... (drum roll) I am shortly to embark on my first lace project.

I just can't seem to stop knitting, you know? I blame you.

Oh HOW I wish London wasn't such a long commute!
