Group class offerings for Winter 2025:


Swatchbuckling Adventures
Thursday, February 6, 6-7:30 PM (in-person or hybrid)
Class fee: $25
Craft: crocheting/knitting


In this class, we’ll explore the wild world of swatching before embarking on a project. How do you create a swatch that will be accurate? To wash or not to wash? When can you skip the swatch? What if you love the fabric your swatch gives you, but that's not what the pattern calls for? If you’ve ever wanted the answers to these questions - and especially if you have other related questions! - join us for this class.

Eeeeek! A Steek!
Tuesdays, February 25 & March 11 (must be able to attend both sessions)
Class fee: $40 + materials
Craft: knitting


Simply put, steeking is a way to work a project - usually a colorwork one - that avoids the need to do any stranded colorwork with purls. Any future openings are marked by panels of extra stitches; at the end of the project, these panels are reinforced and cut apart down the middle. Rather than embarking on a full project, we're going to get started on some cute, sheepy coasters!

Intro to Stranded Colorwork: Basic Doodle Hat
Thursdays, February 27 & March 13
Class fee: $40 + materials
Craft: knitting

You’ve seen the Doodle Cowls. You’re super-excited to make one. But… how do you do the thing? How do you make those patterns magically appear in your fabric? It’s a technique called stranded colorwork (or sometimes Fair Isle), and if you can knit and purl, you can totally do this, too. We’ll be making the Basic Doodle Hat, designed by Jamie Lomax - owner of Pacific Knit Co. and innovator behind the Doodle Decks!

We honor the first peoples of our area by acknowledging that our location is within the traditional lands and waters of the following communities: stuləgʷábš, People of the River, Stoluck-wa-mish River Tribe, the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians; the Tulalip Tribes and their ancestral bands; the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla peoples; and the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe and its eleven predecessor bands. These groups have inhabited this area for thousands of years; their descendants have remained here, actively practicing and re-establishing traditional activities and beliefs, to this day.
