The SweaterGirls spent their winter vacation learning how to knit diamonds. Entrelac creates a beautiful woven diamond pattern using simple knits and purls. In this 2-week class you will learn all the basics of entrelac, including how to knit entrelac in the round. Our project will be a simple but beautiful headband that will be sure to impress all of those non-entrelac knitters.

Skills: Must be able to knit, purl, increase, decrease and pick-up stitches.

Materials: For the first class please bring size 7 or 8 needles and 50 yards of any worsted weight yarn for knitting practice swatches. Straight needles work best but are not required. We will discuss extra materials needed for the headband at our first class.

You may register online or in person at the Yarn Store, please call us with your questions at 280-7557

The SweaterGirls is creating a monthly knitting club in partnership with Los Poblanos Inn.  Our goal is to create a comfortable knitting environment with the added benefit of helping you through your knitting projects and answering your questions.  More experienced knitters are encouraged to join and have fun knitting by the fire at one of the loveliest spots in Albuquerque. As our club develops, we will focus on monthly projects and bring in local crafters to talk about their art.  The club will meet the second Tuesday night of every month for two hours. Reserve your spot, $30.00 for three months. Drop-in rate is $12.00 and can be paid the night of the meeting with cash or check.Our next meeting is February 7th at 6:30pm. This month we will be talking about how to use up your scrap yarn!

Please call if you have any questions, 280-7557.

• There must be a minimum of four people in a private party/class and a maximum of ten people. We keep the parties smaller because we have learned through experience many students need lots of one-on-one attention when they are learning to knit.

•  We suggest starting with a two hour party/class. A two hour party/class will give you an introduction to yarn and needles and start you casting-on, learning the knit stitch and binding-off. Most students will learn enough in one class to start and complete a simple scarf or cowl. After the first party/class you can decide if you would like to have a second party and continue your lessons.

• The amount for a Beginning Knitting party/class is $36.50 plus tax. It is $10 an hour, per person, for the party/class and $16.50
  for materials. Materials include a size 7 circular needle, 250 yards of merino wool yarn (you will have a choice of colors), basic
  instructions, and a beginner pattern that will not use more then 250 yards of yarn. If a student wants to bring their own materials they
  will only be charged the class fee of $10 plus tax an hour.
  If you decide to continue with a second party/class, you will only be charged the $10 plus tax hourly rate. Different rates will apply to different knitting parties.

•  We do request that all students prepay for the first party/class via PayPal or check. If you have a PayPal account you can choose to use   your credit card or bank account, if you do not have a PayPal account you may still use PayPal but will only have the option of paying   with a credit card

•  For those of you who already know how to knit, pick something new you and your friends would like to learn: embellishing your clothes, knitting socks or lace,  finishing an old project, knitting a rag rug. Call or email us and we can discuss ideas for your party/class. Different rates will apply to different parties.

• If you have questions, or would like to reserve a time for a party, please call 280-7557
