I’m looking forward to doing the class with you. I just received my package yesterday and was very happy with the yarn and the patterns that came with it.
It’s a big splurge for me though. With postage and the exchange rate between USD to CDN making my cost 💲 160 , I can’t afford to purchase very often.
Apple Yarn’s Stocking Kit Class was such a fun experience! (I took the class that started in July.) I had been wanting to knit a project using Pacific Knit Co.’s Doodle motifs, and this was a wonderful way to get started. Not only did I gain confidence in selecting colors and charts, but I also learned a lot of helpful tips and skills that I will be able to apply to future projects. I loved seeing everyone’s stocking at the Zoom Finishing Celebration. Each one was different and beautiful! For my stocking, I decided to use some motifs from the Baking Doodle deck along with some from the Holiday Doodle Stocking pattern. The Doodle decks allow for so much creativity and customization.
Thanks, Apple Yarns, for offering this fun kit and the online classes!
Love the yarns and excited to learn about playing with color work in this Christmas Doodle Stocking class. And great customer service too!
I received the yarn package. All was great BUT I have not received anything telling me how to get on the zoom call or how to get the recorded classes. I am happy today with my yarn but where are my classes??????
Hi Rebecca, I'm so glad you recieved the yarn, the links go out today 7/26. In your yarn package there should have been a post card with class dates (it had the Christmas Stocking Stitch Marker attached). We are always here to help, 360-756-9992. Andrea
