Cindy Craig
I learned to knit while chaperoning Girl Scouts in Norway. While in our hospitality home, I asked the mom to teach me how to knit, and because I was pregnant with my first son, we started a baby sweater. She had the back finished in two nights, and I was still on the ribbing! I have learned so much since then and now spend my days managing Studio Knitting & Needlepoint in Kansas City, MO. I love helping people learn to knit or crochet especially, when they get stuck! I knit everywhere I go and am frequently questioned on the sidelines of the soccer field and at PTA and Cub Scout meetings. I love to design and write patterns.
Friday 10:30am - 11:30am CR3 CROCHET buTTOns How many hours have you spent searching to no avail for buttons for your project? Consider making buttons that are a perfect match for your garment.

Friday 10:30am - 11:30am
tt4 look, no double points Come and learn the two popular ways of using long circular needles to knit on small circumferences, such as socks, sleeves, baby hats, and the like. Youll never have to use double points again unless you want to! The first method uses two 24-inch circulars. The second way, commonly called The Magic Loop, uses one long (32-40 inch) circular needle. Both methods can be used on any circumference of knitting, enabling knitters to go from cuff to toe of a sock or brim to crown of a hat without ever having to change needles. Knitters should already be comfortable with knitting in the round or have at least tried it before class. Materials: all needles should be US 7 or 8: two 24-inch circular needles, each of a different material if possible (such as one of metal and one of bamboo); one 32- or 40-inch circular needle of any material; few yards of smooth, plain, #4 weight yarn, wool or wool-blend preferred.

tt2 Continental knitting Continental knitting involves tensioning the yarn in the hand holding the unworked stitches (for most people this is the left hand) and using the other needle to pick stitches through in a quick and efficient manner. It is a great technique to have in your knitting repertoire. It can solve a multitude of knitting problems or just be a good companion to the way you already knit. Your instructor will teach the basics of tensioning the yarn and picking the stitches rather than throwing. We will learn the knit and purl stitches and have time to practice this useful method of knitting. Materials: Any yarn and appropriate needles for sampling.

tt8 knitting in both direCtions Knitting in both directions allows the knitter to
always be looking at the right side, even if you are knitting flat. The work is never turned, and the knitter cleverly works both knit and purl stitches from the same side. This saves time when working on a very small number of stitches as for bobbles or entrelac, and it saves effort when working on a very large number of stitches. Your instructor will teach the basics of working knit and purl stitches from the right side of the work. There is time for practice and a discussion of how to use this technique in your every-day knitting. Materials: Any yarn and appropriate needles for sampling.
