Free Workshop: November 6

Our next free knitting workshop is scheduled for Saturday, November 6th!  We are happy to be offering several free workshops this fall.  Pre-registration will always be required for these special events, call soon to reserve your spot.

Our next workshop features the beautiful, simple Baktus scarf.  Special thanks to Strikkelise for letting us use her pattern!  We'll cast on & discuss alternative methods of increasing for shaping this garter stitch project. This is a simple pattern, suitable for beginners & intermediate knitters. 
 
We have another blog for our workshops & classes.  Check it out at www.lysclasses.blogspot.com.  We'll be listing additional workshops over the next few weeks.

*Thanks to tryphina on Ravelry for her great photos! 

Workshop Gallery

 

Maureen has been knitting for two--count 'em!--TWO weeks.  This is how far she's gotten in just 2 days!  Nice, even knitting & beautiful results using Maxima from Manos del Uruguay & hand spun Wool Classica for her main color.

 

Janet's hat is knit in peacock blue, heathered Lamb's Pride from Brown Sheep Company with LanaLoft for her handpainted contrast color.  She finished it up last night & it is beautiful.

Here's mine!  I'm using Maxima & Wool Classica on US #8 needles & I'm nearly done.  The Maxima is gorgeous to work with!






This one is Deb's & she did a great job pairing a brown heathered Lamb's Pride with LanaLoft.  Another great pairing in both color & texture. 

Free Workshop at LYS

Our first free knitting workshop is tomorrow!  We are happy to be offering several free workshops this fall.  Tomorrow's workshop is full, pre-registration will always be required for these special events.

This week, workshop knitters  will learn how to make Jared Flood's beautiful Turn A Square hat.  Knit in the round with two colors, we'll teach two techniques that help make this a great hat.  The jogless join is a great way to make color changes less obvious, & using a raglan decrease on the crown makes a distinctive shape. 

We have another blog for our workshops & classes.  Check it out at www.lysclasses.blogspot.com.  We'll be listing a weekend workshop and several additional weekday workshops over the next few weeks.
