Instructor: Liz Daly
Description:
In May we are going to knit the 22 Little Clouds by Martina Behm. This shawl is the perfect light addition to any outfit no matter the season. You start out with 3 stitches and keep on increasing until the majority of your yarn is used and then you knit the ruffled edge. As with most of Martina's patterns this one is very clever and we will be going over a new bind-off.
My name is Liz Daly and I host the Newish Knitter KAL (NKKAL) the first 3 Wednesdays of every month. This KAL started back in 2020 when we realized that we needed to connect to our customers in a different way. The original plan was for this group to assist knitters who had completed our Knit 101 and Knit 102 classes continue knitting but it has turned into a monthly group of knitters of all levels (beginner to expert) from across the USA who meet monthly to work on projects together which are the perfect social knitting projects. Join us for a month or two and I guarantee you will be more confident knitter. Our Newish Knitter KAL is for knitters who have finished Knit 101 and Knit 102 and are wondering what to knit next. All of these patterns are great places to practice your stitches and learn how to read patterns. This KAL is also for more experienced knitters who want to socialize with others while knitting a project where you can knit and chat at the same time.
Supplies:
- Please download the FREE pattern 22 Little Clouds by Martina Behm from Ravelry
- Needles 24" US 6 or 7 depending on the yarn you choose. Depending on how you handle having your stitches squished on your needle you may also need a US 32" or 40". Or, you can just start out with one of these longer needles. You start with 3 stitches and end up with well over 100 stitches.
- We are recommending two skeins of Mohave - which is cotton and linen and very light and drapey.
- Needle sizes shown are guides
Homework: Have your yarn and needles ready.
Prerequisites: Be comfortable knitting and purling.
