Building in Color
If working at your own pace is more your style, right now you can register for my digital Building in Color course where you will learn to expertly manage multiple colors while creating a gorgeous sampler afghan. If you loved Building Blocks or want to learn more about knitting with multiple colors then this follow-up book is for you! Many of the designs are timeless favorites, some are original creations, and ALL of them are deliciously fun! At the end of the series, the knitter is rewarded with an abundance of knitting know-how and 10 colorwork panels to assemble into a sampler afghan, baby blanket, pillows, or anything limited only by your imagination! You will have unlimited access to the class recordings to view at your leisure.
August Retreat
My Chicks Knit in the Sticks Summer Retreats are almost full so you will want to grab your spot ASAP if you want to attend. Every year I host a summer retreat in the beautiful town of Blackhawk, CO where I get to pamper you to no end with a new knitting project while all of your meals and drinks are served to you. All you have to do is show up and enjoy! This year I will be pampering you like a Queen during our multi day Tea Party as we knit a very nice project called Perfect Blend designed by Casapinka. The retreat includes a luxury yarn kit of 12 mini skeins, supplied by MakerWool, based in Longmont, CO. You will have five beautiful colorways to choose from!

Building with Lace
Building with Lace begins on May 28th and in this class we will not only make a really pretty shawl, but we will knit nine different lace patterns and learn how to place beads on an applied border. Students will learn the most common increases & decreases, simple lace patterns, cables, chart reading, and finishing techniques. This live Zoom class includes 11 sessions and you will also have access to the recordings for each technique. You can register for this class by clicking the button below.
Summer Sweater Class
For the last several years I have offered a Summer Sweater Class because sweaters aren’t only for winter! With the selection of lightweight yarn and so many cute styles, wearing things you make yourself in the summer should be a requirement. This year, we are going to knit Casapinka’s Shaved Ice summer tee. Shaved Ice is a cool, lightweight summer top that has a bit of lace, a bit of texture, and a pretty V neck. It can be made with one solid color or four colors. Class will cover basic sweater fitting, and will also include a variety of techniques: knitting in the round and transitioning to flat knitting, lace knitting, chart reading, special stitches called out in the pattern, German short rows, 3 needle bind-off, and finishing techniques. I am going to do mine in one color and I am using Rowan Summerlite 4-ply. It is a very nice cotton yarn that will make the perfect summer top. You can register for the for the digital class with live Q&A sessions.
