They were all supposed to be for May, but they took longer
than anticipated. So now they are early
for June. All are a theme and variation
on slip stitches – creating surface dimensions and interesting color work.
In each class, we’ll make a skill swatch covering all the
techniques employed in the project and then get you started on the project.
The Afghan Block -
June is a one color slip stitch pattern with great surface dimension. Use it as an afghan block or reimagine it as
a stroller blanket or a pillow. The pattern
is written with an eye towards easy finishing.
Learn a cast on that matches the usual bind off and how to create a stockinette selvage stitch.

The Dishcloth - June
is slip stitch pattern. This one
explores mixing solid colors with variegated.
Only one color is knit or purled per row. In addition to working the slip stitches,
learn the matching cable cast on and cast off and a twisted garter edge
stitch. This too can be re-imagined as a
baby blanket or purse.
Wednesday, May 21 from
10:30 am – 12:30 pm
The Fingerless Glove
- June is another slip stitch pattern in two solid colors. In addition to the slip stitch technique, we’ll
start with a K1, P1 Long Tail Cast on and then learn to use a crochet hook to
create a zipper close for a colorful and easy seaming up method. I’m thinking this might need a tube cowl to
match.
Friday, May 23 from 1:30 – 3:30 pm
