Printable Calendar of Summer Class Schedule
While summer is often busy with travels, yard work, golf, and kids at home, I couldn’t let the season go by without offering a few classes I’m hoping will tempt you to take some time for yourself and frolic with me, other kind knitters, and some beautiful yarn. Between knitting on the plane, in the shade of my backyard, or by the campfire, summer truly is one of my favorite times to knit. Try it; I think you’ll agree.
After reading through the entire schedule, including the registration information, please contact me directly to register through email (karyn@knithero.net) or text (801.391.9669). I teach all of the Knit Hero classes listed on this schedule at my location, Knit House. Once you have contacted me to register, I will give you the address of the house and directions to find me. I look forward to knitting with you!
To stay in touch digitally, you can find me most regularly on Instagram (@knit_hero), but also on Ravelry (KnitHero) and Facebook (Knit Hero).
Knitting Support Group
Knitting Support Group is the perfect place to get the help you need while enjoying the support of other knitters in a friendly group atmosphere. I love leading this group, instructing and supporting all knitters–whether it be to help with a specific pattern, answer general or specific knitting questions, rescue knitting emergencies, or provide support while working on a challenging project. All KSGs take place at Knit House.
When: Weekly Tuesdays from 3:00 to 4:30 PM, Thursdays from 8:30 to 10:00 AM, and every second and fourth Monday evening of each month from 6:30 to 8:00 PM through August 6th (unless otherwise noted on calendar).
Cost: 1 class for $10 or 6–session punch card for $50
Advanced Lace Workshop
Inspired by Study in Lace, my 2018 year-long offering in which we traveled through the lace traditions of Shetland, Estonian, and Orenburg, this class is open to all lace knitters who would like to expand their lace knitting skills. While you do need to have basic lace knitting skills, you do not need to have completed Study in Lace, or even knit advanced lace before. I will provide an array of traditional and modern pattern choices for a variety of different knitting levels, but you are free and encouraged to choose any lace shawl that excites, inspires, and challenges you as a knitter. I will provide support, guidance, and instruction as needed (and plan to knit my own heirloom shawl alongside you!).
When: Tuesdays, May 28th, June 25th, and July 30th, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Cost: $50 (Pro-rated to $35 for remaining two sessions if you would like to join in!)
Just Finish It Already!
Finish your project(s) this summer so you can start new projects this fall guilt-free! I cannot even count how often knitters tell me they can’t sign up for any new classes because they “first have to finish their ______ (fill in the blank) project.” Of course, many knitters lack the motivation, time, or skills to finally get that project off the needles and into their wardrobe. I’ve developed this new class for all you knitters out there who need help getting that project (or two) DONE. This class is similar to Knitting Support Group in that everyone will be working on different projects, but this class will focus more explicitly on goal setting, learning project-specific skills, helpful finishing techniques, and proper celebrations when it’s all done. Depending on your summer schedule and individual knitting needs, you can sign up for just two sessions or all four.
When: Saturdays, June 8th, 22nd, July 20th, and August 3rd, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM OR 1:00 to 3:00 PM
Cost: $30 for any two sessions; $50 for all four sessions.
Summer Shawl KAL
I have just fallen in love with the beautiful simplicity of Woolenberry’s Mix & Match Rivers Shawl Collection. A collection of three patterns, each shawl has two sections that can be mixed and matched with the other patterns in the collection. So, you can choose to knit one of the shawls as written, or you can swap the body section of one with the border section of another, culminating in the possibility of nine different shawls! Because of the various choices within this collection, I thought it would be great fun to host a Summer Shawl KAL and knit along on similar, yet different, shawls together in an inspired group setting. Also, because of the many choices, this KAL is appropriate for any level knitter who has knit even just a little bit of lace or pattern work before. The focus of this group is primarily fun, social camaraderie with other knitters while creating something beautiful.
When: Fridays, June 21st, July 5th, 19th, and August 2nd, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM
Cost: $50
Knit Hero Registration Details
Classes are filled on a first come, first served basis after receiving my approval that the requested class is an appropriate level for you. It is very important to me that my students find classes that will be challenging and interesting, and yet still accessible and enjoyable for them. In order to reserve your spot in a class, payment must be made in full via cash, check, or payment online before the beginning of the first class. Please contact me directly to sign up: karyn@knithero.net or (801) 391-9669. Payment includes, but is not limited to: all listed sessions for your class, all email and class information, and instructional video links of skills and techniques learned in class. Once class begins, I am sorry that I cannot offer a refund if you miss a class. I work very hard to prepare for the classes I teach and want to be fairly compensated for my time. This also gives students on my waiting list the opportunity to sign up and attend. Classes must have a minimum of three students to run at the above listed rate. Once class begins, I offer make up classes at my private session rate of $30 per hour. Knitting Support Group is also a great space to catch up and get the information you missed in class.
