A hand knit Christmas stocking to hang by the chimney with care. What would be greater? Knit an heirloom stocking for someone you love, and learn some wonderful knitting skills as well. There is a two-week break during this class to give you plenty of time to complete the top of your stocking and be ready for the heel. This class uses the Knitting Pure and Simple Pattern, “Easy Christmas Stocking.” These stockings can be classically simple or fun and funky, depending on the yarn you choose, whether you add stripes, etc. The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn and size 7 needles, a 16-inch circular and double points. If you would like to do a stocking with color-work or cables, you can choose any stocking pattern in the shop to use for this class, but the focus of the class will be the basic anatomy of the stocking. If you are a fast knitter, you could complete more than one stocking over the course of this class. Don’t worry if you have never used double points, we’ll show you how and it is really not too hard!

The Stitch Sampler Shawl samples in the shop have received many oooohs and aaaaahs. Harriett knit a lovely sample in Lang Mille Collori, making a lovely casual wrap.

Anne will be in the shop Monday evenings if you need assistance or would like to physically knit along.
