DEMOS
Surrounded by all that yarn and can’t
wait to pick up a pair of knitting needles
or a crochet hook? Spend an hour trying
a technique, learning a skill, or just
playing with yarn in new ways.
New knitters and crocheters can take
the next steps by learning to seam,
reading the charts, or learning how to
fix mistakes.
More experienced? Comfortable with
lace but intimidated by charts? Fluent
in Fair Isle but never tried entrelac?
Market Sessions give you a taste of a
technique, letting you decide if you’ll go
back for seconds or say, “No thanks!”
Everyone! For one hour, explore the
mystery of reversible cables and the
magic of rigid-heddle weaving. Learn
the basics of knitted miters or the
wonder of working yarn with a hook
instead of two needles.
FREE
Take one — you just may find your
new favorite thing!

Gwen Bortner
Santa Clara
Convention Center
Gwen Bortner is a Craft Yarn Council Certified Teacher teaching at venues throughout the country, is the author
of Entree to Entrelac, and is half of the brains behind a new partnership with Kellie Nuss: Two Sides—Two Points.
Gwen’s passion is teaching. Whether teaching through the local community education program, at a national
knitting convention, or through her new online venture EduKnit, meeting new people and sharing the love of
knitting is one of her greatest joys. Gwen’s teaching philosophy can be summed up in the following quote, “My
job is to make the students’ toolbox bigger. If all you own is a hammer, everything looks like a nail! In the process
of providing options, more skills are developed, and a better knitter is the result. My mantra is knitting is fun. If
you add something to your knitting toolbox and have fun doing it, then I consider that a successful class.”

Magical Reversible Cables I love when my scarves don’t have a wrong

Mitered knitting can become squares, rectangles, diamonds, or strips and is
the foundation of some of today’s best designs. You will learn to make a basic
square, to join squares as you go, and to build the squares into a project. You will

Charts Can Be Your Friends Don’t let a chart scare you. Many knitters
prefer working from charts instead of written directions. Once you get the hang
of them, charts can make knitting a lot easier. In this class you will learn the basic
symbols, the basic rules for chart reading, and some tricks that make it easy.
We’ll practice knitting from a simple chart while making a cozy for your coffee
cup (or soda can).

Uh-Oh! Fixing Mistakes All knitters make mistakes. It can be
frustrating when you can’t fix them yourself, so you rip out and start over
numerous times. This class focuses on the most common skills beginners
need: picking up dropped stitches, correcting mistakes a few rows back, and
understanding the difference between ripping back and un-knitting. These
skills will help you relax when an ‘oops’ comes along.

and staying that way. In this class, learn when and why ‘before-youknit and after-you-knit blocking’ is so important for every knit project.

fabrics and learn how you should approach all your knit projects.
Prevent unexpected results related to gauge, shrinking, stretching, and
dimensions. See the tools available to help shape your garments to give

and wetting when you’re finished knitting, this class promises to elevate
your skill level.

TT2 Continental Knitting Continental knitting involves tensioning the yarn in
the hand holding the unworked stitches (for most people this is the left hand) and
using the other needle to pick stitches through in a quick and efficient manner. It
is a great technique to have in your knitting repetoire. It can solve a multitude of
knitting problems or just be a good companion to the way you already knit. Your
instructor will teach the basics of tensioning the yarn and picking the stitches rather
than throwing. We will learn the knit and purl stitches and have time to practice and
discuss how to transition to this useful method of knitting.
Materials: Any yarn and appropriate knitting needles for sampling.

ways to prevent yarns from twisting, and try different holding techniques. Come get
