About This Class

Lace knitting has a reputation for being difficult, but at its heart, lace is simply a combination of increases and decreases arranged to create beautiful openwork patterns. “Once you understand the building blocks, an entirely new world of knitting possibilities opens up.” This class demystifies lace and helps you build the skills needed to approach lace patterns with confidence.

What We’ll Cover

We’ll begin by exploring the difference between lace knitting and knitting lace — two terms often used interchangeably but describing different types of fabric. Then we’ll break down the essential techniques that form the foundation of nearly every lace pattern.

  • The difference between lace knitting and knitting lace
  • How yarn overs create decorative openings
  • Common decrease techniques and how they shape lace motifs
  • Recognizing stitch patterns and visual cues in your knitting
  • Reading written lace instructions
  • Understanding and following lace charts
  • Tips for keeping your place and avoiding common mistakes
  • Using lifelines and other tools to increase confidence

Students will practice a variety of basic lace motifs while learning how lace patterns are constructed and how to “read” the fabric as they knit.

Perfect size, cute illustrations and words
Format: Board book
My toddler girl is super into bugs right now. This book was suggested alongside a bunch of other bug books I purchased (Maisy’s Nature Walk, Bugs, All Because a Little Bug Went Kachoo, The Lonely Firefly, A Good Place). What a great find! It’s the perfect board book size for me to hold or for my toddler to hold. The illustrations are darling and the words simple enough that my almost 2 year old has pages memorized. When she sees a picture she’ll spout out the words. I appreciate the back page with the illustration of all bugs with their names because lord knows my toddler asks me time and time again “what’s that?!” and mommy is fresh out of lies. My insect knowledge is clearly not as profound as my daughter.

This book is like crack to my 16 month old
Format: Board book
I bought this book as a gift for my friend's son, but when it arrived, my daughter saw it and wanted me to read it to her, so I did. Then again. Then again. Needless to say, I had to buy a second copy to send to my friend's son. It's been about a week, and my daughter is OBSESSED. There have been tantrums when we need to stop reading Some Bugs to do something else. It's by far her favorite book. The illustrations are so colorful and layered, there are so many things to look at. She loves pointing at the different bugs (her favorite ones are the hawk moth and the dog tick). The text has a great rhythm and is fun to read, I'm not tired of it yet after our hundredth reading. I highly recommend this gorgeous, fun book.

Perfect for learning about bugs!
Format: Board book
Purchased this because my kids class is learning about bugs. It is so cute, and both my kids my 3 year old and almost 2 year old love it! The pictures are so cute, and they really do go through each bug, making it educational. Such a fun book at a great price for 1-3 year olds.

Humor and Heart
Format: Kindle
Soccer superstar Sage needs a serious girlfriend to boost her image. Willa needs a plus one for her ex’s bachelorette party. When the two former high school classmates reconnect, they devise a plan to enter a fake relationship, but how long can it stay pretend? Never Mine has a fun and heartwarming fake romance plot, likable characters, and many laugh out loud scenes. Willa and Sage’s relationship is destined to be something special from the moment they reconnect at their high school reunion, but watching them finally figure that out for themselves is entertaining and delightful. Fans of great sapphic fauxmance with plenty of humor and heart will love Never Mine.
