Welcome to Building Blocks, a blanket class that will teach 12 different stitches and blanket finishing techniques over the course of 13 separate lessons in 13 months. Designed by Michelle Hunter of Knit Purl Hunter, each class will produce a (roughly) 12x12 inch block, which will be sewn together to make a blanket. You do not need to be an experienced knitter (though knowing basics would be helpful) as this class is designed to teach new skills.
Taught by Julie.
Class cap is 8 per session (13 sessions total), 2 segments offered a month (one Saturday, one Wednesday)
Class fee is $20 each class or $15 if paid in advance ($260/$195)
Skills required: in order to have a successful class, you must know how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off.
Class pre-work: Class work will be assigned via email prior to each class. You should have a 24 stitch, 4 inch swatch in stockinette ready for the first class.
Materials needed: HiKoo SimpliWorsted:
Solid Color Version - 10 skeins
Two Color Version - 10 skeins (5 skeins of each color)
Buliding Blocks pattern book
Yarn and the book will be offered for the class as a package for $140, this represents a $40 discount! Students who register for the entire class package will also receive a FREE KGY shopper.
In addition to the yarn, you will need needles in the appropriate size to match your yarn. I recommend using 24 inch circulars, even though you are knitting flat. This will prevent stitch crowding on your needles. You will also need a cable needle, a blunt tip tapestry needle, scissors, and stitch markers. You know, the usual stuff.

KGY is collecting donated yarn for charity knit/crochet. If you have yarn you would like to de-stash we are happy to accept it. If you would like to help us #keepsyracusewarm this winter, please come grab a few skeins and make something: hats, mittens, blankets, anything.
Currently we are taking most donations to Vera House, but you are welcome to take some charity yarn for your favorite cause.

REGISTRATION
- Students must pay a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the posted class fee at time of registration. The balance is due prior to class, but can be paid the day of the class.
- All class registrations including the deposit must be received 5 days prior to the first class. If a minimum number of students is registered but there are still seats available, registration will continue up to the time of the class.
- If a class has to be cancelled due to low enrollment, you will be notified at least 3 days before the first class. If an individual session has to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. weather, instructor’s illness, etc.), you will be notified as soon as possible and it will be rescheduled.
- If the minimum number of students does not register at least 5 days prior to the first class and the class has to be cancelled, the deposit will be fully refunded or applied to another class of the student’s choice.
- Class deposits will not be refunded for any reason other than as stated above, but a student can find a substitute for their seat without penalty.
SUPPLIES / MATERIALS
- We ask that any class materials be purchased from Knitty Gritty Yarns and that you do not substitute. Please arrive for class at least 15-30 minutes early to purchase any supplies if you have not already done so.
- Material fees are in addition to the class fee and should be paid prior to the start of the first class.
- Class handouts are for the students who attend the class. Registrants who do not attend the class will not receive handouts. Handout may not be copied as that would be a violation of copyright laws.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
- Only registered students may sit in class. As such, no children or guardians or visiting friends may sit in unless they have fully paid the class tuition.
- All students are presumed to have the prerequisite skills listed on the class sheet. The teacher will only be able to assist students without the prerequisite skills as time allows and may be very limited. Please be sure you are comfortable with the prerequisite skills listed.
- If pre-work or homework is required for class, please make every effort to have it completed prior to class. Class time is scheduled based on the assumption that students will be ready to proceed from the point of the completed homework. If you need additional help, please visit Knitty Gritty Yarns during regular business hours.
- Any equipment or materials borrowed by the student from Knitty Gritty Yarns or the Instructor must be returned immediately upon the conclusion of the class in the same condition as it was received. Any equipment or material that is not returned in a timely manner or that is damaged shall become the property of the student, who will be charged the full retail price for such equipment or material.
- At the conclusion of the class students will be requested to complete a Class/Instructor Evaluation Form. Please give the form some thought and be frank and honest. It is Knitty Gritty Yarns' intention to make every class it offers the best it can be and we need your feedback to do so.
- Please advise Knitty Gritty Yarns staff of any allergies or health issue that we need to accommodate. We will make every effort to make your experience instructive, positive and fun.
SHOP RESPONSIBILITIES
