Keeping Cozy with Online Classes
The recent change in weather has us reaching for warm socks and sweaters. Now is the perfect time to learn how to make your very own all from the cozy comfort of home with our Online Classes with expert instructor Holli Yeoh!
Our Online Classes are interactive, fun and allow for Holli to clearly demonstrate and help with the skills you will be learning. The classes are recorded and available for a limited time which gives you the opportunity to go back and watch the lesson during the week between sessions.
Socks for Beginners with Holli Yeoh – Online via Zoom
DATES: Tuesdays November 1, 8, 15 and 22nd from 6-7:30 pm
For the knitter who has been knitting for a while and feels like they’ve found their footing. Let’s put a sock on it!
Over a few weeks you will knit a top-down boot sock (DK-weight) or an around-home sock (Worsted-weight). You can also knit a tiny sock if you don’t have time for homework. If you’re a knitting socks for someone else, bring in their measurements: foot circumference around the ball of the foot and length.
DATES: Tuesdays November 1, 8, 15 and 22nd from 6-7:30 pm

Beginner Sweater Class with Holli Yeoh – Online via Zoom
DATES: Wednesdays November 2, 9, 16 and 23rd from 6-7:30 pm.
Using a baby cardigan pattern that Holli Yeoh has designed specifically for this class, you’ll learn the basics on sweater construction, shaping, swatching, pattern reading and lots of other helpful tips. Come to class with your first gauge swatch already knit and you’ll be well on your way to completing your first sweater. By the end of the class you’ll have the skills to tackle a full-sized sweater for yourself!
Expect to work on the project at home between classes so you’ll be ready to learn the next step in the sweater at the next class.
Suitable for Advanced Beginners and beyond.
DATES: Wednesdays November 2, 9, 16 and 23rd from 6-7:30 pm.

Tip Toe Up Sock Class with Holli Yeoh – Online via Zoom
DATES: Thursdays November 10, 17 and 24th from 6-8:00 pm
THIS IS AN ONLINE CLASS via ZOOM, so you will also need to have a decent internet connection and download the free ZOOM app. Instructions will be emailed before 1st class.
This toe-up sock class is a skill building opportunity to knit socks with completely replaceable heels and toes. Over three weeks we’ll tackle the beautifully invisible Turkish cast-on, Holli’s favourite increases, placeholder stitches for the heel, a stretchy sewn bind-off with no sewing, opening a large hole in your sock for the heel, and grafting on the needles. Take this opportunity to learn a “new-to-you” technique for working in the round: two circular needles, one long circular needle for the Magic Loop technique or double pointed needles. Or feel free to use needles that you’re most familiar with while learning the other new skills.
There will be homework each week so you’re ready to try the next step in the class together.
You may knit a sock of any size, but plan to work about half the sock between each class. If you’re knitting a sock for someone else, come to class with the foot circumference and foot length (not shoe size).
Skills needed: Participants should have experience knitting in the round and be familiar with making cuff down socks.
DATES: Thursdays November 10, 17 and 24th from 6-8:00 pm
INSTRUCTOR: Holli Yeoh of Holli Yeoh Designs
Holli feels strongly about fine craftsmanship, believing that while there’s more than one right way to do things, it’s important to do it right! To this end, she teaches skills that enable knitters to feel justified pride in their finished objects, while accommodating different knitting styles and preferences. Students leave her workshops with an arsenal of valuable techniques, deep understanding of the choices to be made in knitting, and new confidence.
