New Angles in Knitting Fiber Friday with Lisa K. Ross via ZOOM!
April 19, 2024
Expand your fiber horizons by shifting your knitting on the bias! This class combines simple increases and decreases to create bias knit designs that drape beautifully when worn and produce eye-catching results. Bias knitting may sound intimidating, but even beginners will see how easy it is to knit up parallelograms and chevrons that can transform a straightforward scarf into a fashionable accessory. Once you’ve mastered the basics, we’ll play with symmetry and asymmetry, apply unique construction techniques, and incorporate both color and texture to highlight the skills you’ve just learned. Students will leave this class confident in creating new angles in knitting!

How it Works
"The class worked really well over Zoom. Stephanie did a great job of demonstrating the techniques needed, and had two cameras going so we could see her face and her hands while she was teaching. It was nice to interact with the other class members, too." - Cheryl A.
About Online Classes with Longmont Yarn Shoppe
We have identified a number of classes that lend themselves to being offered in a virtual classroom via Zoom. Our teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced in the topic they are teaching, and will be using 2 cameras for all classes (there may not be 2 cameras for KALs and CALS) so you can not only see and hear them, they can also demonstrate what they are teaching as well. Supplies must be shipped in advance of the class so please plan accordingly.
We recommend all students use a device larger than a phone to be able to see what is being taught.
We stand behind our programs. If you try online learning and decide it isn’t a fit, we will refund 100% of your class fee, or it can be transferred to an in-store class once we are open to the public again.
We do ask that you use yarn and products from LYS for our Knit/Crochet-A-Longs and our classes.
There are 2 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.
