Chimera Mitts These
fun layered mitts present an interesting construction that is perfect for an
adventurous knitter with knitting in the round experience. We cover
basic fingerless mitt construction, cables, two layered knitting and working on
two short circular needles in the round. Worked in soft and beautiful dk weight yarn,
this pattern is versatile, fashionable, and is sure to be a cool-weather staple
in your wardrobe! (We looked it up -- it's pronounced ky-MIR-a.) Instructor: Molly Cost: $55

Feb. 8 and 15, 6-8 pm The classic black and white colors of Nordic knitting are both striking
and beautiful. This class will cover traditional Nordic mitten
construction complete with chart reading, Fair Isle color stranding and
a splash of pattern design. Knowing how to knit in the round is a requirement, and previous mitten knitting experience is welcome. Instructor: Molly Cost:$40
Pop-Top Mittens Mon.,
Feb. 13 and 27, 6-8 pm We love these multipurpose mitts that may be made with or without finger shaping at the top of the inner glove. They feature a straightforward pop top without annoying buttons to get in your way. If you like to head outside in the winter to walk your dog or enjoy the freshly fallen snow, you will love these toasty mittens! Instructor: Cristi Cost: $40
