Cindy Craig
I learned to knit while chaperoning Girl Scouts in Norway. While in our hospitality home, I asked the mom to teach me how to knit,
and because I was pregnant with my first son, we started a baby sweater. She had the back finished in two nights, and I was still on
the ribbing!
I have learned so much since then and now spend my days managing Studio Knitting & Needlepoint in Kansas City, MO. I love
helping people learn to knit or crochet — especially, when they get stuck! I knit everywhere I go and am frequently questioned on
the sidelines of the soccer field and at PTA and Cub Scout meetings. I love to design and write patterns.

knitting can become squares, rectangles, diamonds, or strips and is the foundation of
some of today’s best designs. You will learn to make a basic mitered square, to join squares
as you go, and to build the squares into a project. You will also receive a pattern for a
Kindle or iPad cover and begin the project in class. Materials: 100 yards #5 weight yarn in 2

TT18 Uh-Oh! Fixing Mistakes All knitters make mistakes. It can be
frustrating when you can’t fix them yourself so you rip out and start over numerous times.
This class focuses on the most common skills beginning knitters need: picking up dropped
stitches, correcting mistakes a few rows back, and understanding the difference between
ripping back and un-knitting. These skills will help you relax when an ‘oops’ comes along.
Materials: Practice amount of #4 weight yarn, US 8 or 9 needles, F, G, or H crochet hook.

your new skills. Materials: 5 yards each of two colors #4 weight wool yarn, 5 yards each of two
colors #4 weight cotton yarn; US 8 needles.

Kellie learned to knit as a child and has been designing and teaching knitting professionally
for nine years. She loves to help students feel confident and content with their knitting.
Friday 10:30am - 11:30am
tt4 look, no double points Come and learn the two popular ways of using
long circular needles to knit on small circumferences, such as socks, sleeves, baby hats, and
the like. You’ll never have to use double points again unless you want to! The first method
uses two 24-inch circulars. The second way, commonly called The Magic Loop, uses one long
(32-40 inch) circular needle. Both methods can be used on any circumference of knitting,
enabling knitters to go from cuff to toe of a sock or brim to crown of a hat without ever having
to change needles. Knitters should already be comfortable with knitting in the round or have at
least tried it before class. Materials: all needles should be US 7 or 8: two 24-inch circular needles, each
of a different material if possible (such as one of metal and one of bamboo); one 32- or 40-inch circular
needle of any material; few yards of smooth, plain, #4 weight yarn, wool or wool-blend preferred.
Friday 12:30pm - 1:30pm or Saturday 3:30pm - 4:30pm
TT2 Continental Knitting Continental knitting involves tensioning the yarn in
the hand holding the unworked stitches (for most people this is the left hand) and using the
other needle to pick stitches through in a quick and efficient manner. It is a great technique to
have in your knitting repertoire. It can solve a multitude of knitting problems or just be a good
companion to the way you already knit. Your instructor will teach the basics of tensioning the
yarn and picking the stitches rather than throwing. We will learn the knit and purl stitches and
have time to practice this useful method of knitting. Materials: Any yarn and appropriate needles
for sampling.

always be looking at the right side, even if you are knitting flat. The work is never turned, and
the knitter cleverly works both knit and purl stitches from the same side. This saves time when
working on a very small number of stitches as for bobbles or entrelac, and it saves effort when
working on a very large number of stitches. Your instructor will teach the basics of working
knit and purl stitches from the right side of the work. There is time for practice and a
discussion of how to use this technique in your every-day knitting. Materials: Any yarn and
appropriate needles for sampling.

CR8 Crochet a Classic: the Granny Square The granny square — crochet rite
of passage and icon of the 60s. And more fun than a barrel of monkeys, given how quickly you
can turn odds and ends of yarn into cute motifs to applique on jeans, join together for a scarf, or
assemble into an afghan. This class is geared for those who know how to work flat, but who have
never worked in the round: we’ll join and work into a center ring, change colors, and weave in ends
as we go. Materials: Small amounts of #4 weight yarn in 3 colors, F or G crochet hook.
Saturday 12:30pm - 1:30pm
PP3 Knit One Below Columns of color on one side, blended swallowtails on the other!
Column pattern makes a fabulous fabric, produced by working only 1 color per row. Learn
the best cast-on for K1B fabrics, how to find the stitch in the row below on both sides of the
work, and how to use the slide manuever to get the yarn you need next. This class will get you
started; you won’t want to stop. Materials: 2 balls (110 yards each) #4 weight yarn in coordinating
but CONTRASTING colors (1 ball can be variegated) and a US 9 or 10 circular needle.
