"Seamed knitting is the original form of knitting and while with updated techniques it is not always necessary to seam understanding why we seam will free you to make more items. The shaping and construction methods of seams give us the essential shapes we still use as knitters even in most seamless garments, a foundation of seaming will make all your knitting better and easier." - Ethan

Weekly Classes
Crochet Crafternoon |
Beginning Knitting |
|
Crochet Crafternoon with Pearlin is our newest group! We are bringing a weekly chance to get together with other Crocheters and other makers to develop your skills and spend time learning and making together.
We highly encourage beginner and new crocheters to come to this time and learn to make a granny square, the foundation of many crochet projects, and progress to learning new techniques and skills over time. Our group focus is to raise the awareness of the beauty and ease of crochet and to welcome as many different crocheters as possible to our making community. Come in and make something beautiful. |
The Outlaw Beginning Knitting is a free, recurring, drop-in session designed to make knitting an approachable, community-oriented experience. In this session, you learn the basic skills of knitting at your own pace, in a fun, creative environment. Rather than a traditionally structured class, this drop-in session is designed to work with your schedule - drop in during any session and we will help you get over road bumps and teach the next skill. If you have a friend or family member who you think would love knitting, let them know and bring them down to HQ.
All are welcome. If you bring a child, please make sure there is a parent or guardian available to supervise and assist throughout the entire learning process. |

CLASSES
Seaming Skills 2021
Seamless knitting has become the norm in the knitted world; however, there are so many wonderful seamed patterns out there and the skills and knowledge we learn from seamed construction helps to improve all of our knitting. Seaming is its own skill in a knitters toolkit and should be treated as such, let us guide you towards a better understanding of seaming your knits.
Seaming 1: Mattress StitchIn this one hour class the basics of seaming two pieces of stockinette together using mattress stitch will be explained. We will be exploring seaming two pieces of fabric together using mattress stitch and a garter stitch selvedge. A PDF including instructions for the two small swatches will be emailed out for each order.
Date & Time: Thursday, May 6, 2021 6pm & 7pm - in the Outlaw Den (at HQ) |
Seaming 2: Edge to EdgeIn this class we will explore over the course of an hour the methods of attaching bound off edges to bound off or cast on edges, as well as how to seam selvedge edges to bound off edges. The purpose of this class is to further explore modified mattress stitch to expand upon what can be seamed together and to incorporate methods of easing seams in your knitting to allow for greater confidence when setting in sleeves. A PDF with additional swatch instructions included will be emailed out to you in advance of the class. Please note you will require your previous swatches or a third knit swatch to complete this class.
