We are learning tips on how to manipulate yarn for fair isle knitting and stranded colorwork in the round. Join us if you can. There is HOMEWORK. Check your email for pattern suggestions and homework, or contact me directly if you don’t get the email. This class is going to be COLORFUL and fun.

Bring that project that you’ve wanted to FROG and get it done during our time together. We’ll have a winder set up available so you can undo the project that’s not going to go any further and get it wound up and ready to go for a new one. And don’t forget the Poca KAL. Bring yours and we’ll work through next steps, directions, and questions.
KNIT Meeting – Knitting as a Form of Protest
Our program for the month is Knitting as a form of Protest with our very own Nancy Polychronopoulos.

For our KAL, Step 2 is working the sleeve and dolman shaping — work through page 4 of the pattern which means you will end with the 3 Set Up for the Right Shoulder Rows. ** If you finish this phase up, and want a jump start you can work the Left Sleeve exactly has you have for the right (following the directions on page 6). **
