Latvian Braid Knitting (Intermediate) with Deborah Burger
2022-10-01 13:00 - 14:00 | Angelica Free Library
Latvian Braid is a decorative horizontal trim, usually worked in 2 or 3 colors. It is useful for neck or sleeve cuff edgings, (or edges of any knitted item), or to highlight the change from one section of a piece to another. By itself, Latvian braid can make a fun bracelet, headband, or purse strap. It is not a difficult technique, but also not a fast one to work– making Latvian Braid is a slow, gentle, zen process. In the class we will make a bracelet consisting of one or more parallel braids worked in the round.
This class is intended for knitters with basic skills, comfortable working around a small circle on your choice of dpn, 2 circs, or magic loop. These techniques will not be taught in the workshop. It is up to each student to use her preferred circular method.
You will need: Two highly contrasting colors of the same yarn. Worsted will yield a chunky “cuff” bracelet, worked on #7 or #8 needles. Sock or Dk yarn worked on #3 or #5 needles will yield a thinner, finer bracelet. Free Pattern will be provided for all gauges.

Maximum Class Size: 8

Tunesian Crochet (Intermediate) with Deborah Burger
2022-09-24 13:00 - 15:00 | Angelica Free Library
This class will teach 3 different Tunisian Crochet stitches, and we will begin a solid, textured spa facecloth. Students should already be familiar with basic stitches in regular crochet.
You will need: A ball of worsted/aran weight cotton or cotton/linen blend yarn, and a straight-shafted size J (6.00mm) or K (6.50mm) hook. A long or cabled hook, specifically made for Tunisian Crochet is preferred, but a regular bamboo hook with straight shaft will also work. Pattern packet will be provided.

Reading Charted Knitting Patterns (Intermediate) with Deborah Burger
2022-09-17 13:00 - 15:00 | Angelica Free Library
This class will teach you to understand and follow knitting charts for cables, lace, and knit-purl patterns. In 2 hours, we will learn to read and actually knit a sampler from these 3 common types of knitting charts. The project is a sampler, but in the class we talk about how to continue it until it’s a scarf.

You will need: 25-50 yds of worsted weight yarn, straight or circular #8 needles, a cable needle if you have one (loaners will be available), and stitch markers. Before class, cast on 20 stitches and knit four rows.
