For our January meeting, Sparrow will teach Portuguese knitting.
Portuguese style is a way of holding, tensioning, and flicking your yarn that requires minimal hand movement when switching from knit to purl stitches – perfect for ribbing!
Homework: Bring a medium-weight yarn and appropriate size needles to try out this new technique – no other accessories are necessary. If you have a pin or brooch for Portuguese knitting, please bring it to show.
Beaded Key Lanyard
Do you find yourself rooting around at the bottom of your purse, looking for your car or house keys? Join us at SoCK to make a key lanyard. This project uses beads and clips to attach the lanyard to your purse (or knitting bag). Your keys will always be at hand! We will provide kits with all the basics.
