Visible Mending
Two Saturdays, Sept 19 and Oct 3, 2026
9-11 am
Cost $25 /$40 (see below)
Teacher: Eileen Raab
We will go over some basic techniques for visible mending and learn how to do them in a way that honors your garment’s journey. We will look at ways to save knits and wovens in fun and interesting ways, such as darning, weaving, applique, patching, embroidery and sashiko. Each technique will be explained and demonstrated and then individual help will be provided to those who need it.
Techniques will be demonstrated in the first class. If you'd like more practice and to work on mending a garment of your own, please plan to come for the second session as well!

Cost: $25
Teacher: Shauntle Barley
Demystifying Lace
Lace knitting often looks intimidatingly intricate, but at its heart, it is built on just a few fundamental techniques: simple yarn overs and basic decreases. Once you master how these two elements work together, the entire world of openwork knitting is in your hands (and on your needles!).
In this workshop, we’ll take the mystery out of lace by casting on a lightweight lace scarf, a perfect quick project for crisp fall days.
What you'll learn:
yarnover
slip slip knit
knit 2 together
centered double decrease
reading a basic lace chart
Prerequisite Skills:
Comfortable with casting on, the knit stitch, purl stitch, and using stitch markers. No prior lace experience needed!
