FIBER FRIDAY with Ann Weaver: SHORT ROW SAMPLER via ZOOM!

Learn to knit short rows three ways: German, wrap and turn, and Japanese! In this workshop, you'll work on the Short Row Sampler cowl, an easy pattern that provides you with lots of opportunities to learn and practice three ways of working short rows. Then, you can compare the results of the three methods and evaluate their benefits and drawbacks. Never be intimidated by short rows again!
Skills needed: Casting on and working in the round; ability to read a basic pattern
Skills learned: German, Japanese, and wrap and turn short rows with full confidence and joy.
Materials needed:
• Short Row Sampler Cowl pattern (available for purchase on Ravelry)
• US Size 6 16-inch circular needle, or size to obtain gauge
• At least 7 removable stitch markers, one distinct from the others
• DK weight yarn in three colors, approximately 100 yards of each color
Homework: Begin your cowl. Follow the directions under INSTRUCTIONS on page 3 of the pattern until you have worked the 5-round welt and then knit 3 rounds. We'll begin the short rows in class.

Instructor Bio: | Ann Weaver combines her love of knitting, her passion for creative reuse and thrifting, and her love of mending to provide us with techniques for saving or repurposing our beloved handmade and ready-wear knitwear. With the current trend to use what you already have and fix what?s broken, all the while rejecting the notion that newer is better, Ann will share examples of her altered and mended knits and demonstrate two methods of darning holes using simple tools. Darning can keep your beloved knitwear in service for years to come, and Ann hopes to inspire you to give new life to worn or thrifted textiles, perhaps in the form of a pincushion, a pillow, or some other use! |
