CAMP COURAGE 2011!
All the following classes are Thursday evenings 6 - 7:30.
February 10 & 17 - EZ Ribwarmer $30 inc. pattern
This is the classic... Elizabeth Zimmermann's Rib Warmer vest. EZ's Spin Out pattern "Rib Warmer Revisitited" is included in the price of the class. Not only will we make the classic version but Maud will go over all sorts of ways to customize this great pattern including the stand up collar, attached I-cord, and adapting the pattern to be either longer or wider... or both!
Marterials: This pattern can be adapted to most any yarn you fall in love with but the classic is made from Unspun Icelandic and a 24" needle.
Skills: Only the most basic of
knitting skills are necessary... this is a perfect "next
level" after you grow bored with scarves and washcloths.
February 24, 2011 - Mobius Scarf $15 inc. pattern
This is the "True Mobius" - a one-sided object - a scarf that is great fun to hand to people and watch their face as they try to figure it out. The magic is all in the cast on... after that it is nothing but knitting until you are ready to cast off.
This is a one-week class because once you learn the cast on, the rest is just lovely winter's evening knitting.
Marterials: The loveliest thing about a scarf is you can use any yummy yarn that you want near your face. The model is made from one skein of Shepherd's Wool from Stonehedge Farms. You will also need a 60" circular needle of an appropritate size for the yarn.
Skills: We'll be learning the cast on so the only thing you'll need to know how to do is knit!
