A note about Class, CLUB, CAL, & KAL materials. We require student to purchase their yarn for all classes, Crochet-alongs, Knit-alongs & Clubs at Longmont Yarn Shoppe. There are 2 main reasons for this:
- We recommend yarn we know you will have success with. Learning a new skill is much more rewarding using the proper tools and resources. When students use materials other than what is suggested we can't assure your success.
- Frankly, we exist only with your support. We need our community to shop with us so we can be here for the long haul. We bring in additional inventory to support classes, in anticipation of student purchases.

Cut your knitting? Are you SILLY? Why would anyone do that? Well, knitting stranded color work is easier in the round. Not to mention that our tension is usually more consistent in the round as well. Whether you decide to make a set of single-color or stranded color work coasters as homework, we will all hold each others hands and cheer for one another while we cut our knitted coasters. You'll have the chance to steek your coasters twice and the opportunity to finish at least one in class. No liquid courage required!

FIBER FRIDAY with Kate Atherley: FEARLESS FINISHING via ZOOM! - Nov 10, 2023 04:00 pm
Many knitters avoid a lot of garment patterns because of the finishing work required, and even the most experienced knitters often have holes in their finishing knowledge ? or simply lack confidence about them. The reason is simple: information in books and patterns is often very weak in this area, leaving knitters to try to figure it out themselves. This workshop demonstrates some practical, useful and sensible finishing skills. Our objective is to dispel a lot of common myths, break down some common sources of confusion, and take the fear out of it. We?ll cover the three key seaming methods ? reviewing how to do them and where to use them, including how to set in a sleeve, and we?ll talk about picking up stitches, blocking, and weaving in ends. At the end of class you will be fearless about finishing, or at the very least, a whole lot more confident and ready to dive in!

Curious about machine knitting? This class will give you the opportunity to decide if machine knitting is for you before committing to the investment in equipment. Or maybe you inherited a machine and you would like to learn to use it. This class is for you! You'll learn how to cast on and bind off, how to increase and decrease, and how to troubleshoot errors (which WILL occur, just like in hand knitting). You will see samples of what is possible with a knitting machine and develop an understanding of how using a machine can enhance your hand knitting. By the end of the class, you will have created a cast-on rag that can be used for provisional cast-ons in your hand knitting and any future machine knitting you may do!

Machine Knit Garment Skills I: Swatching to Pattern Conversion - Jan 20, 2024 09:00 am
The focus of this series of classes is on techniques and will require homework if the student wants a finished baby cardigan. However, the series is designed to give you the skills to knit your first garment, whether or not you choose to knit along during the series. The first session will focus on determining your gauge from the swatch you knit prior to class, according to instructions. We will use that information to adjust the baby cardigan pattern to your gauge. The Magic Formula will be used to calculate shaping. Calculations for the back of the cardigan will be completed in class and students can apply their new knowledge for other pattern pieces, as homework and in preparation for future classes. This skill can be applied to any knit schematic. Pieces knit from the class worksheet will be used, though not required, for subsequent classes.

Steek a Pair of Coasters! (in person)
Cut your knitting? Are you SILLY? Why would anyone do that? Well, knitting stranded color work is easier in the round. Not to mention that our tension is usually more consistent in the round as well. Whether you decide to make a set of single-color or stranded color work coasters as homework, we will all hold each others hands and cheer for one another while we cut our knitted coasters. You'll have the chance to steek your coasters twice and the opportunity to finish at least one in class. No liquid courage required!
