Knitting: Loop Shawl
with Natasha Otteson
Wednesdays, October 4, 18, and November 1, 6:30-8:30pm
Do
you have a funky-colored skein of yarn in your stash that you want to
use, but don't know what to do with it? Is there something like this
you've been eyeing at Home Ec that you want to use? Let Loop be the
answer! Loop is a crescent shaped shawl that utilizes stockinette and
purled stripes to add pops of fun color without letting the shawl get
too crazy, and it's finished with garter stitch and an i-cord bind off-a
perfect project for the advanced beginner who wants to stretch their
knitting muscles and learn new techniques.
Supplies needed:
* Fingering weight yarn
* Small shawlette: 400 yds main color and 150 yds contrast (loop) color
* Large shawl: 650 yds main color and 200 yds contrast (loop) color
* US size 4 and 6 circular needle 24" or longer
* Pattern (digital pattern available for sale in the shop)
* Scissors
* Tapestry needle
