Class Schedule

Anything Goes

Anything Goes classes are offered multiple times a week! You can sign up for one class at a time, or a series. We do require that you pre-register at least 24 hours in advance. These sessions are limited to projects that were purchased at our shop and are limited to 5 people in any session. A minimum of 3 people is necessary for the class to run the full 2 hours.
Price: $14 per class

Beginning Knitting

A three session class, where in the first two classes you will learn to cast on, knit, purl, increase, decrease, and cast off. In the third class session, you will pick out an easy project, learn to read basic knitting instructions and fix some common mistakes.
Price: $42 for a three session class

Project Classes

In a project class, everyone in the class works on the same item. Try something new and push your knitting/crocheting limits! All materials must be purchased at Lakeside Yarn and all students receive a 10% discount on those materials. To save time, come to the shop before the first day of class to choose your yarn.

Baby Surprise Jacket To quote Elizabeth Zimmerman: "I call it the "Surprise Jacket" because it looks like nothing on earth when you have finished knitting it. Sew up two seams, and you find you have the nicest little garter-stitch baby sweater you could wish to see, reversible, and with no side or armhole seams to look ill-fitting or feel uncomfortable and there is no breaking-off or joining-in of yarn." Knit yourself a legendary garment designed by a legendary knitter. Nobody makes just one. Tuesdays: February 19, 26 and March 5. 10-Noon Instructor: Cynthia Price: $45 plus materials

The Circumnavigated Cardigan A true knitting engineering marvel, this “any yarn, any gauge” cardigan is COMPLETELY seamless without the use of a scary steek. Check out the Circumnavigated Cardigan on Ravelry and see just how different one pattern can look with different yarn/gauge choices. We recommend that you stop by the shop prior to the first day of class to pick out your yarn and homework for the project. Mondays: January 28, February 11, 25, March 11, 25, and April 8. 6-8pm Teacher: Cynthia Price: $80 plus materials

Basic Socks Start off learning the old fashioned way — on 4 double pointed needles. You’ll be hooked and ready to try Magic Loop or 2 at a time before you know it! Class 1: Tuesdays: January 22, 29, and February 5, 6-8pm Class 2: Tuesdays: February 12, 19, 26, 10am-Noon Class 3: Tuesdays: February 19, 26, and March 6th, 4pm-6pm with Pam Class 4: Tuesdays: March 12, 19, 26, 4pm-6pm Price: $42 plus materials
