August Classes

Here's a look at what I'm teaching in August at MadTosh!



This is the Mizutama Shawl - a fun knit that takes one skein of fingering weight yarn! I used Tosh Merino Light in Pop Rocks.



Earth and Sky by Stephen West - a great introduction to intarsia!



Elijah! Such a cute knit! My kids really wanted me to keep this one!



And this Double Knit Cowl - such a great accessory! Super warm and a nice introduction to double knitting!



Class information is available here, and you can call or stop by the store to sign up!

Upcoming Knitting Classes

I am really excited about how well the knitting classes I have been teaching have been going! We had a great January full of students eager to learn how to knit their first sweater, how to use Ravelry, how to knit two socks toe up, and even those learning to knit for the first time! February, March and April are bringing many more exciting classes!
I'm teaching a great class on learning to knit your first lace shawl. We did a beginner lace knitting class back in the fall that used worsted weight yarn. This pattern, the Shetland Triangle Shawl, calls for fingering or lace weight yarn.



I'm also teaching beginning knitting again this month, as January sold out! Yay for new knitters!

In March we are offering classes on how to knit the Willow Cowl, which has a fun picot edging! The shop just got in a bunch of Koigu, so we're offering the Koigu Linen Stitch scarf. I'm also teaching the Baby Surprise Jacket class again.



We're also offering a class on the Daybreak Shawl, the Cabernet Hat, and classes on how to Magic Loop, how to fix mistakes and how to finish your garment!

I'm so excited to teach all of these fun classes!

November classes at MadTosh

I wanted to let you all know that there are new classes scheduled at MadTosh this month! I am so excited to be teaching three of them!

First up is a finishing class - we will discuss a variety of finishing techniques, including grafting, mattress stitch, three needle bind off, blocking, weaving in ends and button bands!

We've also scheduled some classes for quick simple projects - these make great holiday gifts!

One is a fingerless gloves class.



The pattern is Welted Fingerless Gloves and these only use one skein of dk weight yarn! I used Manos silk and wool blend and it was delightful! These knit up super fast, and are very nice and warm!



My other class is on the French Press Felted Slippers. These are super cute and great for the women in your life! I knit the smallest size and could easily have gotten two large pairs out of three skeins of Cascade 220! And I loved picking out the buttons for them! These could come together in an evening - super dooper quick!

Call the shop to sign up for classes!
