After you feel  secure, casting on, knitting, purling, fixing mistakes, increasing, decreasing and binding off — You are ready to tackle your first project and learn much more.
 
When you start a project with us we teach you everything you need to know at no extra cost.
 
It is much easier to retain how to do a technique if it is something that you are doing  in your current project.

  • different increases and decreases and when they are appropriate to use.
  • there are many ways to cast on, some are better suited for different projects
  • buttonholes
  • crocheted buttons

  • knitting with beads
  • decorative crocheted edges
  • short rows for turning heels
  • entrelac
  • fair isle
  • intarsia
  • ruffles

We feel comfortable knitting both American (throwing) or Continental (picking) and can help anyone.
 
We teach new students to knit Continental because it is more efficient and ambidextrous but the end results are the same.
 
Many customers who knit American style have asked us to show them how to knit Continental style. We do, but  only have had a few success stories. Muscle memory is very strong.
