Newish Knitter KAL - December - Ikigai Cowl by Breean Elyse Miller
Date(s): December 4, 11 and 18
Time: 7:00-8:30pm-ish
Location: The comfort of your own location - this is a zoom class
Instructor: Liz Daly
Description:
Our Newish Knitter KAL is for knitters who have finished Knit101 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.
In December we will be working on the Ikigai Cowl by Breean Elyse Miller. This pattern has no relation to the Ikigai yarn that we carry. The term Ikigai is a Japanese concept that loosely means “the happiness of always being busy.” I thought this would be the perfect concept for most people's December. This cowl would make a great last minute gift or something for you, whichever you like and there are really only 2 rows to this beautiful pattern.
There is no charge for this virtual get-together, however, we ask that you purchase yarn from the store for this project. When you purchase your yarn write in the comments section that you would like to be added to the KAL! Don't worry if you can't make all of the sessions. We'd love to have you when you can make it.
Supplies:
- Purchase and download the pattern Ikigai Cowl by Breean Elyse Miller
- US 6 24" circular needle or whatever size you need to get gauge or close to gauge.
- We are recommending 1 skeins of Palmer Yarn Silk DK which is merino wool combined with silk to make this yarn feel lovely up against your skin and the silk gives it just the slightest sheen. You could choose any of our lovely DK weight yarns if the Palmer Yarn is not for you.
- Basic knitting supplies
Homework: Have your yarn and needles ready.
Prerequisites: Be comfortable knitting and purling
