How to Read Charted Knit Patterns
Ok. Sailors have charts. Patients have charts. Business people have charts about charts.
This class helps you learn, and then master the ability to “read” knitting charts.
Once you know how to comfortably read the knitting chart, then, just like a sailor, you will literally ‘follow the chart’ from the beginning of a beautiful shawl to your destination: a completed work of hand-made fabric art.
Costs: Materials + $25 Class Fees
How to Read Charted Crochet Patterns
Ok. Sailors & knitters have charts. What about Crochet? This class helps you learn, and then master the ability to “read” crochet charts, which are completely different from knit charts!
Once you know how to comfortably read a crochet chart, backwards and forwards, then, just like a sailor, you will literally ‘follow the chart’ from the beginning of a beautiful charted shawl to your own hand-made destination.

Learning to knit "Continental Style"
Many English-language books on knitting are in the English or American style because the Continental Knitting style fell out of favor during WWII.
