Here at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio, we like to think of the new year as a time to learn new things and take on new, challenging projects. January is the perfect time to start learning new things and making new friends. With so many classes to offer, it’s easy to do both at the same time!
If you’re looking for inspiration or just a little help with your own resolutions, click here to check out our classes page for details on all the new skills you can learn.
Here are just a few of the resolutions that we’re making this year for a new year in yarn. Let us know what your New Year’s yarncrafting resolutions will be!
| Patty:“I would like to try my hand at double knitting with a different image on each side. I also want to master fixing mistakes in double knitting!” |
Gretchen: “I love the look of Entrelac, but I’ve never taken the plunge and actually made anything with that technique. I’m sure I would have a great time knitting up scarves and I once saw a felted entrelac bag that I’ve been wanting to make. The first step in all of this, of course, is learning entrelac, so this year I will make it a point to add this to my knitting skills.” |
Staff Suggestion: Intermediate Double Knitting
*Look out for our February-March schedule on our class site to see when this class will be offered again! |
Staff Suggestion: Intro to Entrelac

| Grace: “I always love learning something, so this year I resolve to learn needle felting. I love the sculptural quality of needle felted projects and its just another excuse to play around with wonderful, wooly goodness.”Jen: “I like to spin my own yarn and my apartment is littered with little scraps of wool – what to do? This year I’m hoping to learn needle-felting and turn those leftovers into some great embellishments for my FOs… or perhaps a tiny gnome to guard my stash.” | Claire: “My yarncrafting resolution for 2013 is to make a crochet garment that fits! I’ve mastered amigurumi and all sorts of household items and accessories, but I still haven’t made a successful garment in crochet. I really like our Perfect Crochet Cardigan in Amazing®, but I don’t want to end up with sleeves past my fingertips or too-small armholes! I think Crochet Gauge (Jan 28th) class would help me better understand how to count stitches in a pattern that’s not just straightforward rows of the same stitch.” |
Staff Suggestion: Intro to Needle Felting or 3D Needle Felting
*The next Intro to Needle Felting class is Sunday, January 20th! Learn more & book this class here. |
