The Sunnyside Resort
Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge has been a landmark on Lake Tahoe since the 1950s
because it is the ultimate lakefront place to eat or stay. With our location right on the shores
of Lake Tahoe's west side, Sunnyside has become the place to be on the Lake for locals and
visitors alike.
Classic, lodge-style décor make each of Sunnyside's 23 guestrooms and suites an inviting
place to sink into after the day's activities. Goose-down comforters add a cozy touch, and
private patios and decks mean the crisp, clean outdoors is just steps away.

Jimmy Beans Wool is a brick and mortar and
ecommerce yarn shop based in The Biggest
Little City, Reno, Nevada.
It all began when Laura (co-owner/founder of
JBW) learned to knit in the Bay Area before she
and her husband Doug relocated to the Lake
Tahoe area. Both had been software engineers
in Silicon Valley, but after changing elevation and
the discovery of Laura's knitting obsession, they
were bitten by the yarn bug and never looked
back. Laura and Doug opened the original shop
in 2002. It was a 500 square foot space in
downtown Truckee, CA, and included both yarn and a coffee cart.
Yarn quickly proved to be more in demand than the coffee and was soon phased out, though
the coffee "beans" in Jimmy Beans Wool remains. By day Laura ran the small yarn shop, and
by night Doug (after his real job) built the JBW website from scratch. Soon their online
storefront was live, the first online order was placed, and the orders just kept coming.
Before too long the 500 square feet wasn’t enough, and JBW relocated the shop Reno,
Nevada. They now call a 20,000 warehouse and retail space home, have about 50 people on
staff, and continue to provide the fiber-enthusiasts at home and abroad with endless yarny
goodness.

for a steady stream of questioning knitters taught her the value

to meeting you in class! She urges her students to try projects
that introduce new techniques.

Class Descriptions
Colors that ClimbExplore various ways that color can be added when contrasting colored stitches climb vertically
from round to round and row to row. These techniques do not inhibit the elasticity of the fabric.
We’ll play with simple zigs and zags, colorful cables, lines between lace, and purl-only columns
that look like caterpillars. We’ll explore it’s sketchy history- it is used in Rovaniemi knitting, as a
substitute for duplicate stitch in argyle, and it even appears in a Japanese stitch dictionary.
The magic is in the application. You'll be able to take existing patterns and add your own personal
touch.
Professional-Looking Cuffs Using the Magic Cast OnLearn to knit tidy, professional-looking cuffs and hems without crochet hook nor waste yarn. Class
begins by learning Judy’s Magic Cast On. We proceed to knit in the round to learn first hand what
a beautifully-tensioned invisible cast on can look like. Next we work a hemmed cuff, both plain and
picot, without waste yarn nor sewing down bulky edges. Then create the professional and tidy
tubular cast on in 1 x 1 and 2 x 2 rib, again without waste yarn nor crochet hook. These
memorizable techniques will be your new “go-to” skills for provisional starts, and for sweater, hat
and mitten cuffs. You'll feel very clever.
