Intro to Colourwork Knitting (FEB 20)

Are you ready to add colourwork to your knitting?

In this workshop, we will explore tips and tricks for selecting colour palettes, holding multiple strands of yarn, managing your tension, and dealing with those floats! Together we will be working on the fingerless mittens from the Ranande set by Alison Green.

 

Pre-requisite skills: This class is best suited for those who are confident knitting in the round on DPNS & Circulars, or using Magic Loop.

 

What’s included?

• 1 evening of personalized instruction (Approx. 2 hours)
• Project pattern (NOTE: Once your registration has been confirmed, you will receive a PDF copy of the pattern emailed to you – which also includes the matching hat and cowl!)
• 5 – 50g skeins of yarn (The colour palette will be pre-ordered and caked for you! To maximize the hands-on learning during our class time, it will be necessary for you to cast on and complete the ribbing section of your project before the class.  Please make arrangements to pick up your kit in advance to complete that homework.)
• 10% discount on any supplies and materials needed for this workshop
• Drop-in support post-workshop during regular store hours

You will need to bring:

• 3.5mm and 4mm 9″ circulars and DPNs, or 32″-40″ for Magic Loop
• Craft scissors and darning needle

 

Class size is limited to a maximum of 6 participants.

Location: The Thoughtful Artisan – 496 Adelaide Street, Woodstock

PLEASE REVIEW : Classes/Workshop Booking Policy (Below)

Advance payment is required for classes to ensure they are guaranteed to run.

Classes are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Class registrations are processed through our website, so we can ensure that everyone gets a fair chance at the awesome class they’ve got their eye on.

If you need to cancel, please provide at least 48 hours notice. We will gladly offer equal credit towards another class or for products available through The Thoughtful Artisan. We know that ‘life happens’, so please contact us as soon as possible via email to communicate a cancellation. Please note, however, that specific credit arrangements need to be discussed over the phone or in person.

Cancellations occurring with less than 48 hours notice are not eligible for a credit. Our classes proceed based on enrolment. Last-minute cancellations have a negative impact on future class offerings, and also prevent us from offering the vacant spot to someone else who may be waiting in the wings.

If you need to miss a class that has more than one session, please let us know as soon as possible. Occasionally there are options for you to attend your missed class next time that class is offered (if the class is not full), and in some cases we may be able to offer a one-on-one appointment (for an additional fee) for you to make-up the class. However, please note that we do not guarantee that you will be able to make-up your class, especially if the class is being taught by a guest instructor.

If The Thoughtful Artisan ever has to cancel a class, we will contact you as soon as possible to make arrangements for re-booking or store credit in the form of a gift certificate. This situation occasionally arises when a class does not reach the minimum number of participants to cover the cost of offering the class (usually three students). Sometimes the class may have to be cancelled because the instructor has fallen ill or has a family emergency. We do our best to ensure all classes run as scheduled, but if a class must be cancelled, please rest assured the resolution will be handled quickly and professionally.

*Your online purchase serves as confirmation that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of our class booking policy.
