February Meeting: Workshop Night!
Feb. 13, 2012
Class Night!
Beaded Stitch Markers - Maggie Make your own endless supply of stitchmarkers using jump rings and beads. Make them in colors that delight you. I also have been making and using the Stop 'n Go (in the latest Knitsimple) stitch markers for years. Learn to make your own and save the $8 to spend on YARN! This workshop would be very short but participants would learn a valuable moneysaving skill.
Short Row Workshop - Marcia Weinert
Correction Workshop - Tina Turner: In this workshop Tina will show you how to fix mistakes in your knitting, how to count rows and what a twisted stitch looks like. Bring your questions and Tina will guide you through all those little mishaps that can happen. PRE-WORK required. You will need to bring a sample knitted with worsted weight, light colored yarn on a size 7 or 8 US needles. Cast on 24 stitches, do 2 inches of
stockinette stitch (knit one row purl one row), 2 inches of 2x 2 ribbing (k2, p2), 2 inches of garter stitch (knit every row), and finish with 1 inch of stockinette stitch. Leave the sample on the needle. Do not bind off. Also bring a medium size crochet hook, (size G or H).
Knitted Rosebud - Pat Regan: This is a rosebud knit over a small number of stitches that variously increases and decreases through the length of the piece. This technique makes an undulating strip that curls outward at the top edge. When knitter is satisfied that the bud is going to be plump enough, the strip is bound off, leaving a long tail. The bud is rolled up, purl-side out and tacked together at the bottom edge using the tail, which can be further used to attach the bud to a stem, leaves or project. Pat will bring a skein of rose-colored yarn. Bring needles to knit worsted weight.
