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 February we are going to be working on the Feldmark shawl. It is an extremely clever pattern. It looks like you pick up stitches but you don't you just change direction. You may not recognize my sample alongside the pattern, I knit mine in a colorblock pattern with Saona. This project is one of my very favorite patterns.
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 Feldmark by Martina Behm
- US 5 24" or longer circular needles. You might need to adjust the size of your needle based on how you personally knit.
- We are recommending 3 skeins total (1 skein each of 3 different colors) of Saona by Wooldreamers or other sport weight yarn. The pattern calls for approximately 459 yards of sportweight yarn.
- Basic knitting supplies
Homework: Have your yarn and needles ready.
Prerequisites: Be comfortable knitting and purling
