Entrelac is one of those techniques that looks like it’s going to be complicated until you actually do it.

Gayle Holeton, calls herself an “Extreme” knitter.  Never without knitting… in a pocket or backpack, she has had some hilarious…sometimes disastrous!… knitting events on an airplane, sailboat, golf cart and mountaintop. She has been teaching children to knit in her classroom and at Dancing Coyote Camp for many years and is excited to bring this fun and productive class to the Cashmere area.

The gift that lasts a lifetime!

Children have a natural attraction to working with their hands and knitting is something once learned they can easily pick up later in life. Never again hear, “I’m bored.”

The class is  for boys and girls, ages 6 and up, beginners or with some experience. We will all create a whimsical creature, adding on as skills increase.  Cost of the class is $50.00 for the 5 sessions. Make checks payable to Gayle Holeton.

Let the Wild Things Come Out to Play

Materials needed for the class: One Skein of Cascade 220 and one set of knitting needles size 8 or 9.  Pick up materials at Cottage Yarns and receive a 10% discount.

Gayle Holeton, calls herself an “Extreme” knitter.  Never without knitting… in a pocket or backpack, she has had some hilarious…sometimes disastrous!… knitting events on an airplane, sailboat, golf cart and mountaintop. She has been teaching children to knit in her classroom and at Dancing Coyote Camp for many years.  As an experienced educator, she believes the benefits of knitting include:

• Improves handwriting. Knitting is a non-threatening way to develop fine motor control.
• Increases the child’s capacity for formal computation. Like music, knitting puts numbers on the sub-conscious.
• Enables focus and increases concentration.  Knitting has a great calming effect.
• Children feel a sense of accomplishment and find a creative outlet.
• It’s fun!

Children have a natural attraction to working with their hands and knitting is something once learned they can easily pick up later in life.

In this beginning class, for boys and girls ages 6 and up we will create a whimsical creature from the first piece of knitting regardless of the perfection or lack of. Cost of the class is $55.00 and includes knitting needles, yarn and finishing materials for the first project. (Parents you are going to want to frame these projects!)

We will meet Tuesdays, 3:30 to 5:00 at Cottage Yarn in Cashmere. We will learn about the different kinds of yarn available to help choose yarn for projects beyond the scope of the class.  Class participants get a 10% discount on purchases.
