New Lessons

We have some great new lessons starting soon in Point Grey.

We've scheduled two sessions of Sock Boot Camp on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. Choose either November 25 or December 9. Learn to knit a sock in just one day!

Sivia Harding will run another Jewelry Knitting workshop on Wednesday, November 26 from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. You'll learn how to create a fabulous necklace that would be a great Christmas present. Check out the beautiful sample that's currently on display in Point Grey.

Alexa Ludeman will teach a Christmas Gift Ideas workshop on Wednesday, December 3 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Learn to knit a beautiful buttoned scarf with just one skein of luscious yarn. If you've always drooled over the sumptuous cashmere, alpaca and silk blends hanging on our walls, this would be a good time to give one a try.

And if you or someone you know would like to learn to knit, Sandra Dunkin will get you going in her Beginner Knitting class on Thursday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m., starting this evening, November 20.

If you've reached an impasse with a current project or would like to learn a new technique, consider registering for Christa's Classroom on Friday afternoons from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Christa's classes are currently scheduled for Nov. 21, Dec. 5, 12 and 19.

If you'd like some assistance with pattern reading, complicated stitches or finishing, sign up for Astor Tsang's Knitting Q & A class that runs most Sunday mornings from 11:00 - noon. On Sunday, Dec. 5, Astor will switch to Yarn 101 where you'll learn to make yarn substitutions. She'll show you what to do if you love a pattern but can't find the right yarn.

Phew, that's a lot of classes. Hopefully you'll find the perfect class on our list. But if none of these classes fit into your schedule, consider scheduling a private lesson, by yourself or with a friend. Just send an email to Kathleen or phone her at 604-228-1122 and she'll get you going.

Have a look at our entire class schedule right here. This schedule is regularly updated as new classes are organized. Have fun learning a new skill this winter!
