Saturday’s program will feature Alexandra Weston of Farmer’s Daughter Fibers presenting Beyond the Traditional – Stranded Colorwork. Used again and again, stranded colorwork is probably the most well-known technique in knitting, but there are so many rules to follow. In this class, we will learn how you can break those rules. You’ll need a US4 and a US5 circular needle (any length will do) and a mixture of lace through DK weight scrap yarn in a variety of fiber content and colors.
Box lunches will be provided from Smitty's On The Corner. If you register online, you will receive a follow up email asking for your lunch choices. If you register by mail, you can make your selections on the form.
Sunday’s workshop will be Knitting for Magpies: The Art of Adding Beads to your Knitting. In this class we will look at the basic techniques for adding beads to your knitting. For this class, you’ll need to bring a US4 circular knitting needle, and 20 grams of sock weight yarn (a superwash wool is preferred). Beads and a crochet hook will be provided by the instructor.
