Knitting Classes


LADDERBACK JACQUARD via ZOOM!
- Mar 30, 2024 10:00 am

If you have trouble with stranded colorwork - it's too tight, not flexible, catches on fingers or jewelry, or generally just doesn't look good or feel comfortable, this is the class for you! Ladderback jacquard stranding, originally developed & used for machine knitting, is a version of double-knitting with only a one-stitch column. This technique can used in the round or flat! It?s particularly useful for motifs in which a single color is carried more than an inch, or when you need a stretchy, flexible garment such as a hat or cowl. This technique is easy to learn & apply to any stranded colorwork pattern!

Cost: $ 30.00

Join us as we cast on & knit together the Friendship Shawl designed by Jill from Knit Sisu. This beautiful pattern takes 3 Dos Tierras skeins and according to the designer, It's easy to fall into the movement of the stitches in this project as it is very meditative and structured. The garter sections fly by and the lace sections keep knitters engaged without being too reliant on the written pattern. Having knit the shoppe sample, Gail could not agree more! This is a relaxing knit, fun to make together in community. And bonus - your seat fee will be donated to the Wild Plum Center, our March Charity of the Month! We hope you will join us for the 2024 KAL!
