Knitting 2 at a Time: The Magic Loop Dates: Wednesdays, January 18th & 25th Time: 10:30PM - 12:30PM Location: Art Barn Library Fee: $80 plus $35 materials fee (2 sets needles, 2 skeins yarn) Magic loop knitting is the clever technique of making a small circle while using a single pair of circular needles, which you can then go on to knit sleeves, socks and similar small projects. Knitting in the round means that you’ll knit in one continuous piece and the magic loop will help with this! Color Work Dates: Wednesdays, February 1st & 8th Time: 12:30PM - 2:30PM Location: Art Barn Library Fee: $80 plus $35 materials fee (2 sets needles, 2 skeins yarn) Adding more colors to your knitted goods is a great way to add contrast, interest, and personality to your work. The idea of joining yarn or changing colors can be intimidating, but it’s actually an easy process that even novice knitters can master. The simple method can be used to change colors for stripes, fair isle, or just random color changes |
