Come for the Christmas Tree. Leave with the SKILL.

Ready to learn chunky yarn?

You’re going to leave with an adorable Chunky Yarn Christmas Tree that YOU made yourself. But just like all of my classes, this one is about so much more than making one cute Christmas decoration. 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.

NEW TO CHUNKY YARN? THIS IS YOUR REGISTRATION.

If you’ve never worked with chunky yarn before, or you have not already learned the foundational stitches and techniques, you need the Beginner registration. Beginner students arrive one hour before our intermediate students.

During that first hour, we’re going to slow everything down and start with the basics.

I’ll teach you the foundational chunky yarn stitches and techniques you’ll need for the Christmas Tree, give you time to actually practice them, show you what mistakes to watch for, and make sure you’re comfortable before we ever start the actual project. Then our intermediate students will join us and we’ll all begin creating the Chunky Yarn Christmas Tree together.

That extra hour is important.

It means you’re not trying to learn brand-new stitches while simultaneously figuring out how to construct a three-dimensional Christmas Tree and wondering what the hell everyone else is doing.

You get time to learn first. Then we make the cool shit. Throughout the project, I’ll guide you step-by-step, but I’m not going to have you blindly copy what I’m doing.

I want you to understand what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and how to do it again.

You’ll learn:

• Foundational beginner chunky yarn stitches and techniques

• The stitches and techniques used specifically in the Christmas Tree project

• How to work with chunky chenille yarn

• How to build and shape a three-dimensional chunky yarn project

• How the shape of your project changes as you work

• How to keep your stitches consistent

• Why we do things a certain way instead of simply following directions

• What common mistakes to watch for

• How to recognize when something isn’t looking right

• How to FIX it when something isn’t looking right

• 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.

Because my goal isn’t for you to leave saying:

“Look at this Christmas Tree I made.”

I want you to leave saying:

“Holy crap. I know how to MAKE that.”

Because there’s a difference.

The Christmas Tree is the project we’re making that day, but the stitches and techniques you learn are skills you can carry into other chunky yarn projects long after 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 ridiculously cute chunky Christmas Tree ready to decorate your house for the holidays.

What’s Included / Details:

• Your own handmade Chunky Yarn Christmas Tree

• ALL materials included, just bring yourself

• Your choice of available yarn color(s)

• Hands-on, step-by-step instruction

• One full hour of beginner instruction before the project begins

• Foundational chunky yarn stitches and techniques

• Project-specific stitches, shaping, and construction

• Help recognizing and correcting common mistakes

• Skills you can use in future chunky yarn projects

• Laughs, new friends, and probably a little holiday yarn chaos

• Ages 14+

Already know the basics?

If you have already learned the foundational chunky yarn stitches and techniques — for example, through my Chunky Blanket Class or another beginner-level class I've taught, and you’re comfortable using them on your own, you may be ready for the Intermediate registration.

Intermediate students skip the additional beginner instruction and arrive when we’re ready to begin the actual Christmas Tree project.

If you’re sitting there thinking:

“Wellllll... I kind of know what I’m doing.”

Choose Beginner.

I’d much rather have you come an hour early and realize you’re ahead of the game than show up for Intermediate and spend the entire class staring at your yarn wondering when everyone else learned to speak this language.

Ready to Make Yours?

Seats are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Everything you need to make your Christmas Tree is included, so you don’t need to bring yarn, tools, or anything else.

Just bring yourself. I’ll handle the rest.

Come hang out, learn something new, make something awesome, and leave with a handmade Christmas decoration you can actually say YOU made.

Come for the Christmas Tree. Leave with the SKILL.
