Entrelac
Entrelac is one of the great tricks of the knitting world. Is
it woven? Does it involve a lot of sewing? None of the
above. You’ll work with self-striping yarn which creates
the illusion that each small section is made from a
separate yarn source, when in fact you’ll be working with
one continuous strand. It’s also a great opportunity to
try the option of “knitting back backwards” so that you
can work with the right side of the piece facing you at all
times. Choose the wide shawl version or a narrower scarf
version and finish with an elegant knotted fringe.

Folly Cove
Folly Cove is an A-line summer tunic designed by our
recent guest teacher, Julia Farwell-Clay. The shirt tail
hemline is done in double basket weave stitch. Gull
Wing lace trims the front neckline. A tiny bit of the
same lace is added to the upper back neckline and
the short set in sleeves.

Iced Frappuccino
Julie Turjoman’s book, Knits that Breathe, is full of
hot weather friendly knitwear. Iced Frappuccino has
a graceful taper in the body, somewhere between an
A-line and swing shape. Jule thoughtfully places all the
shaping in the plain areas between the columns of easy
lace. The pattern transitions to a mesh stitch for the last
few inches creating a cap sleeve yoke. A row of crochet
finishes off the neckline and sleeve edges.

Enjoy two days of classes with our special guest teacher,
Beth Brown-Reinsel. The beautiful mittens of Latvia
will be studied in this class and an adult mitten will be
knitted to learn the following techniques: A fringed and
scalloped cuff, the herringbone braid and many subtle
and beautiful variations of the half-braid, the waste-yarn
thumb, and round tip shaping. A variety of traditional
motifs (choice of two or three colors in a round) are
incorporated in the main body of the mitten, and reading
from the chart will be covered. Additional techniques to
be discussed include knitting with two yarns in the right
hand, two yarns in the left hand, or a yarn in each hand
and working with three yarns in a round.
Yarn kit will be available.

Beginner Classes
Knitting for Beginners
Knit Beginner Project
Learn to knit by making swatches of basic stitches.
Emphasis is placed on learning to “read” your
stitches so that you can become a confident knitter.
Class also includes a taste of lace and cables.
This hat and scarf combination gives
beginners opportunity to practice and polish
their basic skills. You’ll learn to use circular
and double pointed needles while making the
hat. The hat will also be your introduction to
multi gauge patterns, which allow you to make
the same design in many different kinds of
yarn. The scarf combines the cables and other
stitches you learned in Knitting for Beginners
so that you can keep learning to read your
stitches and have something beautiful to wear.
