Become the boss of your knitting by learning how to "read" your stitches.

You’ll spend less time running to the yarn shop for help and more time working on your projects.

What we will learn: The first portion of the class will be devoted to studying the way stitches sit on the needle and what a knit stitch and purl stitch as well as common increases and decreases look like. The second part will be devoted to practical skills. You will learn how to count rows in one color and multi-color knitting, find your place in a stitch pattern, and keep track of increases and decreases during shaping. You’ll also learn to find and correct errors.

Finally, if you have a project on the needles, especially if you are in trouble, bring it and put your new skills to work ! What to bring: Two colors of smooth, light to medium colored yarn. Should be worsted weight or heavier. Needles appropriate for the yarn – straight or circular. We will be knitting swatches back and forth . Locking stitch markers and other notions.

Sashiko Visible Mending & Embellishment.  With Rachel Barclay.  Saturday, April 18, 2026.  12-3 PM.  $95.00.  $25.00 deposit holds your space.  Call 203-245-5921 to register. 

This hand-stitching workshop will highlight the act of mending and garment embellishment using Sashiko Japanese Embroidery. With humble beginnings in rural Japan, Sashiko’s running stitch repaired and insulated work garments for warmth and longevity. Moving into contemporary times around the globe, the bold, geometric beauty of Sashiko continues to both strengthen and decorate fabrics.  

Students will learn how to patch a rip or hole, reinforce a worn area, layout a simple grid, and draw a Sashiko pattern of their choice; horizontal rows, tiny plus signs, ocean waves, or linked treasures to name a few. Participants will employ the “small stabs” Sashiko stitching technique to repair or embellish their project. People may choose to simply stitch up decorative Sashiko patterns on patches provided. 

Bring in a couple items from home to assess for mending or decorating. Areas to repair should be no larger than four inches. Denim looks amazing with Sashiko stitching. Medium-weight, woven fabrics work well; such as cotton or linen shirts, pants, skirts or dresses. Cotton and linen home goods are also fun to mend. Please no sweaters, knits, shiny, silky, nor stretchy fabrics. Denim with a bit of Spandex is fine 

All tools and materials provided. Sashiko needles, colorful threads, patches, and take home pattern instructions. 

All skill levels welcome from novice to veteran hand stitchers!
