Knitters' Weekend
2017-10-13 - 2017-10-15 | Hampton Inn Brattleboro, 1378 Putney Rd, Brattleboro, VT, 05301, United States
We are excited to announce that Elizabeth Doherty will be the featured instructor for the Spinnery’s 2017 Knitters’ Weekend Retreat.
Her recently published book, Top Down: Reimagining Set-In Sleeve Design takes classic set-in sleeve sweater construction and turns it on its head, with designs that are worked seamlessly from the top down. By beginning at the shoulders, where fit matters most, knitters can try on sweaters as they go, and make adjustments, if needed, in response to the actual fit. In addition, Elizabeth has developed a unique construction method for working perfect, seamless, top-down sleeves with a fit that equals conventionally set-in sleeves.
Participants will learn to knit set-in sleeves—tailored to fit themselves perfectly—in this nine hour hands-on session. The class will include:

An introduction to top-down set-in sleeve sweater construction
Fitting a set-in sleeve
Taking measurements and choosing a size
Making adjustments for gauge differences
Making adjustments for fitting bust and hips
Shaping the armhole and knitting a sleeve cap

Using the information from your gauge swatch and the measurements we’ll take in class, participants will complete a practice armhole, and then learn how to pick up stitches and begin shaping a sleeve cap. The practice sleeve cap will be worked in an Aran weight yarn, so that most participants will have time to work through at least the upper cap shaping, if not entirely complete their practice sleeve cap.
The workshop will be held in Brattleboro, Vermont from Friday, October 13th to Sunday, October 15th, 2016. It will begin with dinner on Friday evening and conclude by noon on Sunday. The Spinnery’s weekends feature great food, lively companionship and lots of yarny goodness.
Your registration fee of $350 per person includes all meals including Friday night through Sunday’s breakfast and nine hours of instruction with Elizabeth.
This year’s event will be held at the Hampton Inn in Brattleboro. We have a block of rooms reserved for you at the discounted rate of $175.00 per night. Please contact the Hampton Inn to make your reservation using the code “Spinnery”. These rooms are limited so register early!

Knitters in the Green Mountains
2015-11-06 - 2015-11-08 | Green Mountain Spinnery, Putney, VT, 05301, United States
We are excited to announce that Thea Coleman and Ellen Mason will be the featured instructor for the Spinnery’s 25th Annual Knitters in the Green Mountains weekend workshop.
Thea will impress us with her design process where she will take us from yarn thoughts to motifs to actually plotting ideas for a basic design and they begin to design their own cowls. The other is “playing with cables” where we look at things we can do with cables- pair them together, play them off of one another, change the size, add/change texture, add/change lace, make a panel, read and create a chart, etc. Ellen will be sharing her creative ways for sculpting a mitten thumb with her Fried Chicken Mitten, working two at a time using magic loop and possibly a small sewing project??
Vermont is lovely in the fall, and we would love to include you in this gathering that will make for a delightful weekend.
The workshop will be held in Putney, Vermont from Friday, November 6th to Sunday, November 8th, 2015.
The Spinnery’s weekends feature great food, lively companionship and lots of yarny goodness.
A cost of $390.00 per person includes all workshops and meals (Friday dinner, Saturday continental breakfast, lunch and dinner and Sunday continental breakfast.)
