Circular Knitting 3-Ways! - Knitting in the round is used for sleeves, sweaters, hats and more. And as many uses as there are for circular knitting, there are so many ways to knit in the round! Join Suzy as she teaches each method and helps you gain confidence with each.
Continental Knitting - Knitting for speed and efficiency! Beginner or not, this is an opportunity to add speed and consistency to your gauge. Continental style knitting (left-handed) is sometimes considered a more efficient method of knitting and many knitters find it less stressful on their hands than the traditional English (right-handed) "throwing" method. This class is perfect for "throwers" who've always wanted to learn continental knitting as well as for continental knitters, "pickers," who have struggled with the continental purl stitch. Join Suzy Roy on December 6th and master the knit and purl stitches using the continental method!
Double Knitting - Double knitting creates a reversible, two- layer, double-thick fabric. You work both sides of the fabric at once, with stitches from each side of the fabric alternating on the needles. Come learn this handy technique that you can use for all sorts of cold-weather accessories like scarves and hats.
Felted Pet Toys - Show your pet how much you love them by knitting them their very own toy! Learn increases, decreases and felting in this engaging 2-hour session with pet owner extraordinaire, Suzy!

Magic of Magic Loop - Magic Loop is a great alternative to using DPNs (double pointed needles) for doing small diameter circular knitting. It’s ideal for knitting socks or small sleeves. Many knitters who have problems with ladders (loose stitches between needles) switch to the Magic Loop technique and never look back. Join Suzy Roy and master the magic of Magic Loop!
Ravelry 101 - If you're a knitter or crocheter, you've likely heard of Ravelry and may have used it to look up yarns and patterns. But do you know all that Ravelry can do for you?

This design is spectacular! You certainly know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool! aol.com mail login sign
