Vicortoria Drape Capelet or scarf

* two-needle cast-on,
* knitting that incorporates beads
* short rows with wrap-and- turn
* reading lace patterns on a graph
* seaming/piecing with mattress stitch, and
* making custom buttons to complement your capelet.
Or, if you would like a smaller project that incorporates beading and two-needle cast-on, join us for the first session, and make a lovely beaded scarf. Have your yarn(at least one hank wound) and beads chosen before class begins.

Myrna Stahman Workshop
Class Title: Lace Faroese-Shaped Shawl From the Neck Down
Class Description: Begin knitting a lace shawl incorporating (a) the wonderful traditional Faroese shawl shaping that enables your shawl to comfortably sit on your shoulders, (b) knitting from the top down [Barbara Walker style], and (c) an all-over lace pattern stitch.
Supply List:
* Begin knitting a dishcloth while practicing the stitch maneuvers of lace knitting:
* Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in a solid, light color so that the stitch definition shows well – one ball of approximately two ounces; two balls if you are a fast knitter. The two balls can be of different colors. Cotton yarns are recommended because they show stitch definition well and you can use what you knit as a dishcloth.
* For the lace Faroese-shaped shawl that you will begin in class:
* Weight: Recommend the use of a substantial fingering, sport or worsted weight yarn for your first lace Faroese-shaped shawl. Please do not bring cobweb or fine lace weight yarn
* Color: Select a light colored or “bright” yarn so that you can easily see the stitch definition. Do not bring black, navy, dark green or other deep, dark colors in which the stitches do not show up well.
* Texture: Please bring smooth yarn; no boucle, eyelash, or other highly textured yarn.
* Amount: When purchasing yarn for a lace Faroese-shaped shawl purchase between 800 and 1,200 yards, with more yardage for finer yarns. You will not need all your yarn for the class, but you may knit a swatch and will get a good beginning on your shawl.
* Needles: Circular needle(s)that have a nicely tapered point and a good join between the needle and the cable.
* Sizes: Size 8 needle(s) for the cotton; A variety of sizes for the shawl including the size you would use when knitting stockinette stitch with the yarn you bring for knitting your shawl (which may or may not be the size recommended on the yarn label), one size larger and two sizes larger.
* Accessories:
• Colored transparent marking tape or a magnetic craft board with strip magnets is highly recommended.
• Stitch markers, scissors, pencil or pen, paper and your favorite knitting equipment.
