Join Barb and Cynthia at Rowan Connect: Nov 1 - 3
Barb and Cynthia are guest instructors at the next Rowan Connect event, taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, November 1 - 3. Rowan Connect will connect you (virtually) with an online event including interesting seminars, engaging presentations, and interactive workshops that will inspire your creativity and improve your crochet skills.
For all the details and registration, visit: www.rowanconnect.live. Trust us, there are a lot of great classes you should definitely consider! And we'll be teaching two classes as well:
Sock Repair with Barb Barone and Cynthia Hyslop
Friday, November 1 starting at 10:00 am PDT, 11:00 am MDT, 12:00 pm CDT, 1:00 pm EDT, 2:00 pm ADT and 12:30 pm in NL.
In this online workshop, you'll learn how to repair weak spots and holes in your knitted work, with a focus on techniques like duplicate stitch, traditional darning, weaving, and knitting patches. While these skills are often applied to socks, they can also be used for invisible or visible mending on other knitted projects, including commercial knits. Time permitting, we'll demonstrate a "surgical" technique for repairing areas beyond saving, such as removing and replacing entire sections of a sock. You'll gain hands-on experience with these methods, equipping you to handle various types of knit repairs with confidence.
Learn a Little Lace – Wristies with Barb and Cynthia
Sunday, November 3 starting at 9:30 am PST, 10:30 am MST, 11:30 am CST, 12:30 pm EST, 1:30 pm AST, and 2:00 pm in NL.
This class is perfect for beginners to lace knitting. You'll create elegant wristlets, suitable for any season, while learning key lace techniques like eyelets (yarn overs), slanted stitches, and vertical columns. You’ll also learn to read charts, add beads, and finish with a picot edge. We’ll wrap up by demonstrating mattress stitch seaming and our favourite method for weaving in ends, ensuring a neat, secure finish.
