We love online learning. Especially when we're able to bring great instructors like Sarah Schira right to you. Using Zoom as our online videoconferencing platform, you can take this class from anywhere.
Self-Fringing? Now that sounds cool!
What if you never had to measure and attach a fringe again? What if you could use up every scrap of yarn in a precious skein? Learn the basics of self-fringing edging and how to incorporate it into a side-to-side shawl.
In this class, Sarah will take us through a knitted mini shawl to practice all the techniques involved. She'll cover: increasing and decreasing, dropping the fringe, and methods to finish the fringe. Participants will receive a handout with mini shawl directions as well as a download code for their choice of the Prairie Hills Shawl or the Prairie Valley Shawl pattern, both of which use this technique.
This 3-hour, online workshop will take place on Saturday, September 28, starting at: 9:00 am PST, 10:00 am MST, 11:00 am CST, 12:00 pm EST, 1:00 pm AST, 1:30 pm in NL.
Please Bring:
- 20-30 g worsted weight yarn. Yarn that is not ‘sticky’ is recommended: smooth, silky, drapey yarns
- US 8 / 5 mm needles for working flat. We will not need long needles for this method. Straights or DPNs work.
Skill level: able to knit, purl, and work in the round with one of the following methods: DPNs, magic loop, or the 2 circs method.
