Registration Details & Sliding Scale
- You can add your name to a wait list at any time; our classes will run so long as the minimum number of participants is registered 72 hours prior to its start.
- Full payment is due one week before the first class.
- Refunds or credit are only offered up to 72 hours prior to the start of class or workshop.
- No refunds or credits offered for missed sessions; any sessions cancelled due to teacher availability will be rescheduled.
- Make up classes cannot be offered for missed sessions; please discuss additional homework or resources with your teacher if required. This will be offered at the discretion of the teacher.
- While our staff will do their best to offer suggestions on prerequisites for classes and workshops, every knitter learns differently so it is ultimately the responsibility of the registrant to decide if the class is within their skill-set or capability. No refunds or switches within classes can be granted from 72 hours before the start of a class or a workshop as that is our deadline for deciding whether to run a class according to registrations.
- Please arrive at least 15 mins before class to buy your materials so that the class can start on time.

Hello. I’m interested in your frame weaving workshop. Could you please let me know if any dates will be scheduled soon?
Also, is there a minimum age?
Thank you
Thank you! I will add your name to a waitlist for the next class which has yet to be scheduled. We usually have a min age of 8 for our regular classes but I can check with the teacher when we schedule the next class.
Also, it would be best to email the store at baaadannas@gmail.com or give us a call at (604) 255 2577 to ask to be added to the upcoming/to book class list as we would need your phone number to give you a reminder once the class is booked.
I am interested in learning how to design patterns for extra large sweaters for men. My son has a size 56 chest, and very broad upper body. I have to adjust most patterns to fit him. I have read a number of books on the topic, but they seem incomplete.
That is a very specialized request which unfortunately we are not able to teach. I would recommend reaching out to local designers to see if anyone is interested in sharing their knowledge in a private lesson. One amazing local designer I would recommend is Holli Yeoh; check out her website at holliyeoh.com or Steve of MrHugzzz who can be found at ittakesballstoknit.com
I am interested in the Know two together, but don’t seem to see it offered. Am I missing something?
Thank you
You can find info on it here (second from the bottom):

It is starting to fill up, so if you want to register, you can do so by calling in at the store at (604) 255 2577 or online here:

Happy knitting adventures!
Any dates for upcoming beginner needle felting classes?
Felting class dates are now posted.
Is there room in this class?
Sorry I am not sure which class you are referencing, but there is room in most of our classes at the moment. Would be best if you called the store at 604 255 2577 between 11am – 6pm to check and you could also register at the same time.
Hello Baaad Anna’s!
When will you be releasing your fall class schedule? I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled to your webpage & receive your email’s etc but alas i haven’t noticed any up & coming classes.
I have messaged before & was informed to keep a look out , i’m interested in weaving classes.
If you can give me a heads-up on the time(frame) the schedule would be uploaded , i’d be very grateful!
Jacinta Doherty Lorimer
My apologies Jacinta; we have released our full knit class schedule already, which is on our website and scheduled for blog postings over this week. The weaving and spinning classes will be running in October, but we are still working with teachers on finalizing the dates. You are on our waitlist to be contacted as soon as they go online. The summer has been busy and we are working hard to put together a stunning Fall Maker season! We will be in touch.
We have now scheduled our Weaving and Spinning classes for the Fall. Please check under CLASSES or give the store a call to book your space.
Hello! I’d like to take an intro to weaving class – but there’s nothing on the website about any upcoming classes – do you anticipate any happening in the fall??
Thanks!!
Rosie
We are just in the process of working out our Sept to Dec class schedule, but we plan to offer this class. Please keep an eye on our website, and I hope to have these posted by the first week of August at the latest. Thank you for your interest!

Hi,
My 9 year old daughter and I would love to learn to knit. Should I enroll her in a kids class or can we come together to a beginner’s class? When is the next available?
Kind regards
Melinda

Hi, couldn’t find any info or how to register for the mending workshop in May. It’s like to take it!
You are correct! We do not yet have some of these class on our online store registration; we will be sure to get those up by the end of the week.
In the meantime if you want to be sure to register, you can give our store a call at (604) 255 2577 any day between 11am-6pm and our staff can help you directly!
Thank you for your interest!
Hello, I would like to know about your crochet lessons for March. Thankyou very much!
Unfortunately they are not yet booked; but due to Spring Break we might hold off on Crochet classes until early April. Please keep an eye on our Classes listing and we will do our best to update that as soon as we book. Happy crafting!
We have just booked our next Intro to Crochet for June. Please take a look under the CLASSESsection of our website!
Happy crafting!
Hi!
I have been weaving on lap looms and would really love to take a class on weaving on any other kind of loom and quite interested in the rigid heddle loom! Would really love to sign up for the n cut possible course being offered with spots open!
Many thanks! 🙂
Keep an eye on our website under CLASSES as we run these classes periodically.
If you missed our Spring classes, we will be posting our Fall classes including our Intro to Weaving by the beginning of August so be sure to check back soon!
Hi,
How many sessions is the beginner sock class? And do you know which day it will run?
Thanks,
Beverley
Our beginner classes are 6 hrs total, either over three (2hr) or 4 (1.5hr) classes over the course of a month. Check our CLASSES tab to see when the next one class starts and what day of the week it runs in November. Happy knitting!
Any likelihood of a lever knitting class?
Sorry for the late reply; we don’t have any currently but we can put that into consideration for the Fall.
That would be great!
When will the beginner crochet class begin and time? I need to see if it’ll fit my family’s schedule 🙂
Unfortunately our Fall beginner crochet class happened in October. Please keep an eye on our Classes tab on our webpage for up[dates on class dates in the new year.
We will have another beginner crochet class starting in January. Our new schedule will be posted on our “Classes” tab within the next week.
Hello,
I would like to know if there are 2 spots available for your loom class on November 7th/8th. Please let me know. Thanks.
Yes! I just posted this class today so you would be the first to sign up. Please call the store any day between 11am – 6pm to register! Enjoy!
Sorry for my late reply. We have another of the same backstrap weaving classes happening at the beginning of December. Please check under our ‘Classes’ tab, and give the store a call to answer questions on spot availability.
i’m interested in felting, i took a basic class but i want to learn more, and also how to do the sleepers and vassels thx.lory.
Would you have any beginner knitting classes held on Saturdays soon?
We don’t have any scheduled at the moment, but have been discussing the possibility of a ‘Learn to Knit in a Weekend’ beginner class in November. Please keep checking our Class list on our website for updates, and join our blog as I highlight new additions to our Classes as they come up.
Hi I will be interested to attend a knitting class but i am only available on weekends…. please let me know when you will be offering this class. thanks,
We hope to book a weekend Beginner Knitting class in May. Please keep an eye on our website to see confirmation on dates and times.
I would love to see a finishing class!
I will pass that note onto our teacher; perhaps a workshop in June? Keep an eye out and we will try to put one together soon!
Would love to do the flax class! I adore the pattern but am scared to start it
I am interested in taking a sweater knitting class, do you have any coming up ?
We don’t have a sweater class scheduled, but you could take our Beyond the Basics and do a sweater of your choice! Call or stop by the shop and we can talk about your options!
Do you ever offer a beginner Fair Isle technique class?
Not specifically – but that is a GREAT idea, I will look into that for the future!
Sounds great. I am an intermediate knitter, but I am ready to tackle a project like this for my little guy See below. Do you ever offer private lessons for specific skills?
http://www.purlbee.com/2015/01/02/friendly-fair-isle-sweater-now-sized-for-toddlers-kids-too/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=PS%20Recipients&utm_campaign=2015-01-02%3A%20Friendly%20Fair%20Isle%20Sweater%2C%20Now%20for%20Toddlers%20%2B%20Kids!
Want to a question about a project.
Zero and seven
After row 8 do i go back to row 2 to 8 as many times as i like? Or is it row 7 and 8 repeating?
I went to 2 and this is the row that you put the marks in and it is very confusing. But need help moving on and hope that you can help. I came into the store with my son on the 23 and dropped about 150 on yarn and needles patterns.
Thank you so much
Chris
hi Chris, sorry for the delay, we have all been on various degrees of vacation for the last week. My understanding is that you repeat rows 2-8 but ignore the part about putting in the markers, but do all the same increases etc. My suggestion would be to contact the designer catilin through revelry, she is super awesome and very helpful with the pattern. hope that helps
anna
Do you have knitting classes for 8 year olds?
we don’t have any specific kids classes scheduled at this time – but we often have younger people in our regular classes, if that would work for you?
When will crochet lessons begin? Cost?
Lisa, you can join any of our summer knitting classes (and do crochet) otherwise the crochet classes start in September!
Hi there, I saw that last year you did a “sheep to shawl” class. Any chance you would do something similar this year?
Hello i have barely ever picked up needles and would like to join your June beginner knitting class. Please let me know if there is space available. Thank you!
hi Kiley, there is room – please call or email the shop to register! Thanks
Sorry to have missed your February Beginner Knitting classes! Two of us are interested in future sessions, and Tues nights work perfectly. Any plans for March classes? Thanks!
The classes have just been updated! Thanks for asking!
Will you have a BEGINNER CROCHET class in march? There are 3 of us interested.
I will get back to you on this one, our Crochet teacher is out of town, so I’m trying to figure out some alternate dates!
Hi again. I haven’t been receiving your blogs or actually any info lately and I miss it! Could you please sent them to me again to mesewat60@gmail.com. Will come in soon starting back on knitting although really I never stopped. Trust you all had a great summer take care, Alvina Versteeg ?
I am looking for a Crochet class, day time or weekend the best.

Hello, I am interested in a beginner course starting in the new year. Any idea of what dates you might be looking at?
I have picked up knitting a couple of times in the past few years only to drop it due to lack of direction! I’ve never really completed a project so I’d love to make it my new years resolution 🙂
