The I-Cord Tool: Your New BFF
Have you seen the I-Cord Tool and have no idea how it works or how to use it? Join Laura on a deep dive exploration into a new favorite knitting tool! Do you NEED it? NO! Do you want to learn how to use it? YES! You will learn how the tool works, how to make basic I-Cord, beaded I-Cord, I-Cord Bind Offs, and then make a beaded bracelet to take home and show off to all your friends! This is destined to be a FUN class!
Pre-requisite Skills: How to knit and purl, the desire to learn!
Class will be held on Friday, June 6 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

Stitch Saver Audition Cords: What Can’t They Do?
It’s not often that a single tool changes my knitting life completely, but that is what stitch saver has done for me. Soon, it will change yours too! Embark with Laura (and her alter ego Lola) on a 3-hour deep dive into the world of stitch saver. To start, Laura will teach a few obvious skills to get us comfortable. Then we’ll move on to the more obscure and finally end with some absolute game changing techniques. We’ll be covering provisional cast-ons, an alternative to picking up stitches, creating layers of fabric, a trick for entrelac, heel flaps, top down and bottom up folded hems and more…
Pre-requisite Skills: How to knit and purl, the desire to learn!
Class will be held on Saturday, June 7 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.

Knitting a Novus Sweater Workshop
In this 3 hour class Laura introduces you to the “Novus” construction, her seamless yet structured modern approach to the side-to-side sweater. She’ll cover how the construction works, how to modify the construction to fit your body, any necessary skills needed for the construction (i.e. provisional cast on, lifted increases, German short rows), and provide you with a mini version of the concept to play with. In class you will discuss choosing yarn to knit your sweater, so you have success! By the end of class, you’ll be ready to independently knit your own sweater from the collection. As a bonus, students will receive a 15% off the yarn purchased for their sweater.
Pre-requisite Skills: Knit/purl; comfort reading a pattern; best for knitters who have knit a sweater before OR are adventurous first time sweater knitters.
Class will be held on Saturday, June 7 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
