Beginning Knitting or Crocheting classes consist of four hours of class time. You come one day for 2 hours and then come back the next week one day for 2 hours. All beginner classes are set up on a one to one private basis. Yes, you may also sign up with a friend or family member, we just do not have beginning "group" classes, as we have found in our experience that when students have one on one time, they seem to learn better than in a group setting.
Beginning classes are $65.00 for four hours. They are set up for a time that is convenient for both the student and the teacher. We do not do beginner classes on Saturdays or in the evenings. When you are ready to take your class we ask that you come in one week in advance and prepay your class and we can then block out your class time.
Materials Needed: We suggest purchasing your supplies at Yarn Heaven, and you will need, 24" US Size 8 or 9 needle, one skein of light, solid colored worsted weight yarn and we always suggest a good reference book.
We look forward to helping you start your wonderful journey into the hand arts.
When you are ready give us a call at 817-226-9276.

March 2013 Class Schedule
Two At A Time Socks - March 2 & 9 -10:30am - 2:30pm Class Fee $0 if materials are purchased at Yarn Heaven, $65.00 if materials not purchased at Yarn Heaven
Learn how to knit socks without the "second sock" snydrome. Meaning after your done with the first one you still have the second one to do! We are knitting both socks at the same time, cuff down. The first class we learn the technique, get our gauge, cast on the ribbing and knit down the leg. The second class you need to have your socks the length you would like them because we start the second class with heel flaps, turning the heel, picking up stitches for the gussets and knitting down the foot. You are then shown how to decrease for the toes and close them up. One of my favorite classes to teach! Please sign up early as we are gifting classes this year and they do fill up.
Let's Knit A Skirt - March 16 - 10:30am to 1:00pm - Class Fee - 0 if materials are purchased at Yarn Heaven, $65.00 if materials not purchased at Yarn Heaven
I love patterns that you get to knit your own gauge instead of matching someone else's. Alot of the Yarn Heaven classes are based on knitting to your own gauge. This is a fast fun skirt today, you can have a drawstring waistband, or what some of us in a certain age group did was make an elastic waistband. We will be knitting completely in the round, doing increases as we go, kits are available for this class.
