Invisible Mending Workshop
2 hour workshop | $70.00
Thursday 06/18 6 pm- 8:00:pm
It’s time to rescue some sweaters.
Join Helen O’Conner of Frenchtown Bookshop for a workshop on the foundations of invisible knitwear repair. You’ll learn how to fix seams, mend runs, and restore moth-damaged areas using techniques designed to blend seamlessly into the fabric—so the repair is barely visible.
Working with premade knit swatches, you’ll practice essential stitching and mending skills to build confidence before tackling your own garments at home. All materials are provided.
Class size: limited to 5
Visible Mending
Darning Loom Workshop
1.5 hour workshop | $95.00
Sunday 05/24 9 am-11:00 am
Learn to mend with intention. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the art of visible mending—using a small darning loom to repair and reimagine worn knitwear. Rather than hiding damage, we’ll highlight it, creating repairs
that add texture, color, and new life to your garments. Practice on a provided swatch to gain confidence for your pieces in need of repair at home. All materials are included, including a take-home darning loom (retail value $36), reflected in the cost of the class.
Class size: limited to 6
Begin to Knit
2 hour workshop | $55
Saturday 05/23 9:00 am-11:00 am Wednesday 06/18 6:00 pm-8:00 pm
In this 2 hour session, you’ll learn how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off while working on a small square. We’ll move step by step, with time to ask questions and practice.
From there, we’ll show you how that simple piece can be shaped and finished into something small—a bunny or another simple form—offering a first look at how knitting becomes object.
This class is designed for complete beginners, or anyone returning to knitting and looking to refresh the essentials.
We’ll move step by step, with time to ask questions and practice.
Materials are included. Each participant will receive a pair of Clover bamboo knitting needles (US 6) and enough yarn to complete their piece and continue working at home.

A small, guided workshop for knitters ready to move beyond
the basics.
In this three-part series, we’ll work through The Anker’s Sweater by PetiteKnit. You may choose to knit either the Anker’s Summer Tee or Anker Jr., using the project as a way to build confidence reading patterns and shaping a garment.
This class is best suited for those who know how to knit and purl, but are new
to garment construction. We’ll take the pattern step by step, learning how to read it, follow it, and make decisions along
the way.
Over three sessions, we’ll cover:
reading and understanding
a patternsizing, gauge, and yarn selection
raglan increases and shaping
separating sleeves and working the body
finishing techniques and troubleshooting
This is a small class, with plenty of time for questions and individual guidance.
Supplies are not included, but all materials are available at the shop. We’re happy to help you select yarn and needles before the first session.
