SUMMARY:Sweater Construction
DESCRIPTION:Sweater construction featuring seamless\, set-in sleeves with English Tailored shoulders    This is how I like to finish the shoulders and neckline of my sweaters. I will provide a pattern for a mini/toddler sweater (quick knit on US 9 needles) and students should have body and two sleeves completed up to the armholes.

SUMMARY:Yarnover 2012 : Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:Seamless Sweater Construction (morning)  Do you hate seaming sweaters? This class will teach you how to transform a seamed sweater pattern into a seamless pattern. We will use the Gisela pattern from cocoknits and go through the pattern in class to transform it into seamless construction featuring set-in sleeves and English Tailored shoulders.  What Not To Knit (afternoon)  I give a short talk on what to look for and avoid when choosing patterns for your body type. Then everyone tries on the sweaters from the trunk show and we give each other feedback on what works\, what doesn’t and why!    It is helpful to have students bring with them a close-fitting T-shirt. We will trace and cut out a kraft paper pattern of this garment and I’ll show them how to use this paper pattern as a template to get a good fit when knitting for themselves.    I also discuss how to alter patterns to fit your body. Specifically how to make a sweater pattern into a petite pattern\, how to knit around a larger bust\, how to alter sleeve lengths and how to knit so that the sweater fits in the shoulder area.    Visit the Minnesota Knitters' Guild website to sign up.

SUMMARY:“Do You Habu?” – Using Japanese Charts & Habu Yarn Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Using Japanese charts in Western knitting patterns  (1 hour)  Maybe you’ve taken Takako’s class on translating Japanese patterns (but it’s not a prerequisite for this class). So how about using those charts to knit an American pattern?    I’ll show you how to chart your written pattern so you can see where you are with a glance (rather than reading through paragraphs). Working a pattern this way also increases your ability to move back and forth between Japanese and Western patterns. I will bring a pattern for us to chart but feel free to bring one of your own to practice on toward the end of class.  Habu yarn tasting  (2 hours)  I get many questions about the Habu yarns I use in my designs. In this class you will have a chance to swatch with a variety of Habu yarns\, combining two\, three or even four strands to see what textures you come up with. You can swatch with stainless steel\, copper\, raw silk\, pineapple\, nettle\, as well as wool\, cotton and linen.    While you are swatching\, I will discuss where and how to use the different textures with examples from my trunk show. Students should bring a few sizes of needles focusing on sizes they prefer to knit with.    Note: materials fee $15    Visit the Knitterly website to sign up.

SUMMARY:3 Month Sweater Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  Saturdays:  March 17 & 24\, April 14 & 21\, May 5 & 19  3:30 PM – 5:30 PM    In this class\, Julie will specifically address the knitted fabric and gauge and how you can make your very own yarns through combining yarns\, thus\, creating a unique\, knitted fabric. You can choose a Cocoknits' sweater pattern or for the more adventurous\, a Habu kit. Also in class\, you will learn how to pull the relevant numbers out of the written pattern and plot them onto a spread sheet and use this as your pattern. Once you have learned on this sweater pattern you should be able to transform other patterns.    We will meet over 3 months so you have time to knit in between classes and (hopefully) have a completed sweater by the end!    Prereq: Students should be advanced beginners at least...however\, it CAN be your first sweater. Students receive 10% off class materials. 6 sessions / 2 hours each      Visit the A Verb for Keeping Warm website to sign up.

SUMMARY:cocoknits Sweater Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Six Sessions on Saturdays 3:00–5:00 pm  September 17  October 1\, 22  November 5\, 19  December 3    You may have noticed that on many of cocoknits' patterns use quite an array of yarns — everything from fine\, strands of Habu to thicker bulkier Malabrigo. You don't have to spin to make your own yarn. This class will specifically address the knitted fabric and gauge and how you can make your very own yarns through combining yarns\, thus\, creating a unique\, knitted fabric.    You can choose a cocoknits' sweater pattern or for the more adventurous\, a Habu kit. Also in class\, you will learn how to pull the relevant numbers out of the written pattern and plot them onto a spread sheet and use this as your pattern. Once you have learned on this sweater pattern you should be able to transform other patterns. We will meet over 3 months so you have time to knit in between classes and (hopefully) have a completed sweater by the end!    Prereq: Students should be advanced beginners at least... however\, it CAN be your first sweater.    Visit the A Verb for Keeping Warm website to sign up. Students receive 10% off class materials.

SUMMARY:Pattern Charting
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, I will show you how to pull the relevant numbers out  of a written pattern and plot them onto a spread sheet.    Once you have  learned this technique you will be able to transform other patterns.  Rather than reading through paragraphs of text you'll be able to see in a  glance where you are in a pattern.    This class will help  beginning knitters understand charts and their relationships to written  patterns. It will give intermediate knitters the skills to interpret and  alter patterns to your liking.    This is a great class to take if  you would like to knit Habu's kits - and a great lead up to Habu's turnk  show on Sunday\, May 9th.    Visit the A Verb for Keeping Warm website to sign up.

SUMMARY:Japanese Charts in Western Knitting Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Maybe you’ve taken Takako’s class on translating Japanese patterns (but it’s not a prerequisite for this class). So how about using those charts to knit an American pattern?    I’ll show you how to chart your written pattern so you can see where you are with a glance (rather than reading through paragraphs). Working a pattern this way also increases your ability to move back and forth between Japanese and Western patterns.    Visit the Knitterly website to sign up.
