Newish Knitter KAL - November - Offhand Lace by Caitlin French
Date(s): November 6, 13 and 20
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 November we are knitting the Offhand Lace shawl by Caitlin French. Don't be scared by "lace" in the name as this is not a lacy shawl. This shawl is squishy and wonderful and fun to knit. We will go over how to read the pattern, knitting ribbing, eyelets and an Icelandic bind-off.
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:
- Download the FREE pattern Offhand Lace by Caitlin French
- US 10 32" circular needle This needle size is a best approximation. They may need to be adjusted based on the yarn you are using and how you typically knit (tight knitter or loose knitter).
- We are recommending 3 skeins of Blue Sky Fibers Sweater. (You could use 2 skeins of Blue Sky Fibers but the shawl will be smaller approximately 50" across and approximately 24" deep, before blocking - dependent on gauge which we all know is optional for NKKAL projects).
- Basic knitting supplies
- Now the pattern calls for Bulky weight yarn and US 15 circular needles which you could also get.
Homework: Have your yarn and needles ready.
Prerequisites: Be comfortable knitting and purling
