Come for the Chunky Tree Skirt. Leave with the SKILL.
Already comfortable with the basics and ready to put those chunky yarn skills to work?
You’re going to leave with your very own Chunky Tree Skirt that YOU made yourself. But this class is about so much more than making one project. With over 20 years of experience, I don’t just show you what to do and send you on your way.
I teach you a skill.
ALREADY KNOW THE BASICS? THIS IS YOUR REGISTRATION.
The Intermediate registration is for students who have already learned and are comfortable with the foundational chunky yarn stitches and techniques. If you’ve previously taken my Chunky Blanket Class, attended the beginner portion of one of my other chunky yarn classes, or already have experience with these techniques and can comfortably use them on your own, this is your registration. You do not need to arrive for the additional beginner instruction.
You’ll join us when we’re ready to jump directly into creating the Chunky Tree Skirt.
Our beginner students will already have spent the previous hour learning and practicing their foundational skills, which means you won’t spend the beginning of class sitting through instruction on techniques you already know.
We get right to the project.
But Intermediate does NOT mean you’re on your own. I’m still going to guide you step-by-step through the entire project. The difference is that we can build on the skills you already have instead of starting from square one. And just like every class I teach, I’m not interested in having you blindly copy what my hands are doing. I want you to understand what you’re doing and WHY you’re doing it.
You’ll learn:
Intermediate chunky yarn stitches and techniques used in the Chunky Tree Skirt
How to maintain consistent stitches throughout your project
Why certain techniques are used to create the finished project
What mistakes to watch for
How to recognize when something isn’t looking right
How to correct mistakes without starting the whole damn thing over
How to properly finish your project
All the little tips, tricks, and techniques I’ve learned through 20+ years of experience
You won’t get this level of instruction from an online tutorial or another chunky yarn class in town.
My goal isn’t for you to leave saying:
“Look at this Chunky Tree Skirt I made.”
I want you to leave saying:
“Holy crap. I know how to MAKE that.”
Because there’s a difference.
You’ll learn techniques you can carry into other chunky yarn projects long after this class is over. You’re not paying to simply follow along with a project. You’re learning a skill you get to keep. And you just happen to walk out with a pretty damn awesome Chunky Tree Skirt.

Not completely comfortable with the basics yet?
If you have NOT already learned the foundational chunky yarn stitches and techniques, please register for the Beginner option. Beginner students arrive one hour earlier specifically so I can teach those foundational skills and give them time to practice before we begin the actual project. If you’re unsure which registration you need, choose Beginner. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking the extra hour.
I’d rather have you come early and realize:
“Oh dang, I already know this.”
...then arrive for Intermediate and realize five minutes into the project that you absolutely do not.
Ready to Make Yours?
