Need an oasis in the midst of the pre-holiday insanity? Set aside some knitting time for yourself and join Amanda for some whimsical, comical, and adorable ornament knitting. These tiny projects are perfect for using those 10g advent calendar skeins (or stashbusting), and their little faces and Whoville-esque shapes will charm the adults and children in your life this season.

The patterns are small and quick to knit, and they feature a range of sizes and shapes, from the very tiny and simple to the slightly larger and more intricate. Whatever your mood or deadline, there’s an ornament to suit it.

Special techniques you’ll learn in the class include the Magic Circle cast on, attaching beads to knitting, using safety eyes, I-cord, and slip-stitch knitting to mimic stranded colourwork designs.

If enough students are willing, we can trade mini skeins to widen our colour palettes.
