<\/p>\n

A SKIRT FOR ALL SEASONS\u2014DESIGN A CUSTOM-FIT \u201cPLEATED\u201d SKIRT (6 Hour Class)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Knitted skirts are becoming wardrobe staples\u2014and they\u2019re a lot easier to knit than you might think (they require just three to four skeins of sock yarn)! Learn how to take proper waist and hip measurements and combine them with your gauge to create a \u201cpleated\u201d skirt with a perfect fit, no matter your size. You\u2019ll leave with a personalized skirt pattern for your yarn and gauge.
\nExperience level:\u00a0<\/strong>Intermediate to expert. Must be comfortable knitting in rounds, increasing, and have a sense of adventure.<\/p>\n

Socks At Any Gauge ( 3 hour class)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Want to make socks that fit perfectly, no matter what yarn or needles or stitch pattern you use? This workshop will teach you how to measure your foot, knit a swatch, and devise a standard top-down pattern for any size foot and any gauge of knitting. ADVANCED-BEGINNER KNITTING SKILLS; MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE KNITTING SOCKS FROM THE TOP DOWN.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Materials<\/strong>:<\/span> Tape measure; calculator; yarn of your choice and appropriate needles; markers.<\/p>\n

Shadow Knitting (3 hour class)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Variously called \u201cJapanese fine knitting\u201d and \u201coptical knitting, \u201cshadow knitting\u201d is the term introduced by Vivian H\u00f8xbro to describe a technique in which purl ridges define a pattern on a two-color striped stockinette-stitch background. The right-side ridges cast a \u201cshadow\u201d pattern that comes and goes depending on the angle at which it is observed. When viewed straight on, the fabric resembles simple two-row stripes. When viewed at an angle, the garter ridges predominate and a different pattern is visible. Learn this ingenious technique by knitting a swatch with a heart motif.
\nADVANCED-BEGINNER KNITTING SKILLS REQUIRED; MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH READING CHARTS.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Materials<\/strong>:<\/span> Tightly twisted sport-, DK, or worsted-weight wool yarn in two colors\u2014one light and one dark (you\u2019ll use just part of each ball); needles in a size appropriate for your yarn; stitch markers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beth Brown-Reinsel has been teaching historic knit- ting workshops for over 25 years both in the United States and abroad. Her love of traditional methods and her skill in imparting that information to others is well known. She shares her passion through her traditional patterns, workshops, and Knit-Along (KAL) classes. Her workshops are known for the little sweaters which are the class samplers. These small garments teach construction techniques in context rather than through meaningless swatches. Beth wrote the classic book Knitting Ganseys and has produced three DVDs. Her warm and supportive teaching style and her generous and thorough handouts have made her a favorite with guilds, shops, and all the national conferences.<\/p>\n

Beth will be teaching the following classes for us…<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gansey Fingerless Mitts (6 hour class)<\/h2>\n

Level:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Intermediate (must be proficient with dp needles, Magic Loop, or two circulars)<\/p>\n

Class Description:<\/strong> <\/span>Ganseys are the traditional British fisherman\u2019s sweater from the 1800s. Students will learn traditional Gansey techniques by knitting one of a pair of fingerless mitts. The mitts themselves have a gauntlet, a thumb gusset surrounded by baby cables, a traditional pattern in the hand, and they are finished off with a picot hem. Techniques learned include the classic Channel Island Cast-on, split welts, traditional knit\/purl patterns, a gusset for the thumb, baby cables, raised increases, and a picot hem.<\/p>\n

\u00a0
\nLatvian Wristers<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Latvian Wristers (3 hour class)<\/h2>\n

Using wristers as a template, learn the following Latvian techniques which can be applied to mitten cuffs, sock tops or sleeves: a scalloped cuff, the herringbone braid and many subtle and beautiful variations of the half-braid. A choice of traditional motifs is incorporated in the main part of\u00a0the wrister, as well as a picot edge at the end. Additional techniques: knitting with two yarns in the right hand, two yarns in the left hand, or a yarn in each hand, as well as knitting with three colors.
\nLevel:<\/strong><\/span> Intermediate (must be proficient with dpn’s )<\/p>\n

Introduction to Twined Knitting (3 hour class)
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Level: <\/strong>Intermediate\u2013must be comfortable with dp needles or working with two circulars.\u00a0 Ability to knit English style (yarn held in the right hand) is very helpful, but not required. Curious about the 400 year-old Swedish technique of Twined Knitting?\u00a0 In this three hour class, knit one of a pair of wristers while learning a traditional cast-on, twined knitting, twined purling, and patterning (the \u201cO\u201d stitch, the Crook stitch).\u00a0\u00a0 Learn how to manage your yarns so that untwisting becomes a cinch!\u00a0 Reading Twined Knitting charts is also included.The typical gauge for traditional twined knitting is\u00a0high, usually 8 stitches to the inch or more. I teach\u00a0a lot of twined knitting classes and have found that\u00a0students meet with better success and less frustration\u00a0initially if they begin with a lower gauge.<\/p>\n
