This 2-part class will be taught in 2 days, but you have the option of coming to only 1 day. Part one is dyeing the yarn in whichever gradient set you choose. Part two is learning to knit the lace scarf, Summer Bell Flower Scarf.
If you’re already comfortable with lace knitting and don’t want to join the lace class, only sign up for part 1. The Bell Flower Scarf pattern is a beginner lace project. The pattern will be included in the dye class as well as in the lace class.
If you are only interested in just the lace/scarf lesson, only sign up for part 2. For that you will need to bring your own 250g-300g of worsted weight yarn, in a gradient set or not. It can be knit with 1 color or multiple colors!
If lace is new or fairly new to you, AND you want to dye the yarn, sign up for both.
Description of Part 2:
Now that you have your gradient set, (or are bringing your own yarn) it’s time to knit the scarf! In this class you will learn this 16 row lace. Since all the purl rows are “Purl each stitch,” it’s really only 8 rows that you have to learn! I will show you how to read a lace pattern, estimate the amount of yarn needed for a color change, and how to execute a 2-4-4-2 color change. Together we will cast on, and knit the first 16 row lace pattern. Then we will plan for the color changes (if you are using more than one color) and bind off at the end.
The pattern is included in this class, but please bring your own size 8 needle, either straight needles or double pointed needles 16-32 inches in length approximately.
You should be comfortable with knitting and purling before taking this class. But I will show you the K2tog increase and SSK increase, plus yarnovers, and anything else you need to know for this pattern and most other lace patterns.
Class will take 3 hours.
Price: $130 for a class of 2 or more. Class size will be limited to 4.
