Classes
Be sure to register online via theblueewe.com, at least 24 hours prior to the class starting. No walk-in students will be accepted. This allows us to have materials printed and prepared for you prior to your arrival, giving you the most time to get personal attention and learn in the shop before going home.
Knittergarten
Ready to finally learn to knit? This is where it starts. 🧶
Our two-session Beginner Knitting Class is the perfect introduction to the craft. We’ll meet for two classes, spaced two weeks apart, giving you time in between to practice and make real progress on your project.
You’ll create a beautiful Knitting Sampler Scarf designed to build your skills step by step. Most students are able to complete their scarf within a week or two after the first class — yes, really!

Beginner Crochet
This is the class we have been waiting for: the MOST basic crochet class for the absolute novice. Join Kayla for this introductory class that will get you started. You will get a pattern handout sheet along with some individual attention to begin your journey.
Choose from a selection of Queensland Collection Coastal Cotton yarns and make a face or dish cloth.

Learn To Swatch
This class is designed to take the intimidation out of swatching and turn it into a valuable tool for knitting success. We’ll explore how to troubleshoot common gauge problems, when and how to adjust needle sizes, and how to “read” a swatch to predict how a garment or accessory will behave after blocking and wear.
Whether you’re knitting sweaters, shawls, or accessories, Swatch Detective will give you the confidence to make informed decisions before casting on — saving time, frustration, and yarn along the way.
This class meets Wednesday, June 10 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.
