Welcome to our two new knitters, and I’m sorry I did not write down their names. Candi brought some fantastic show n’ tells. Ruth and Diane made another Andean purse, and both Candi and Diana finished the tea cozies. Teri showed us some unusual knitting needles that have smaller sizes inside the needles, like a box with smaller boxes inside.
First Extension Class
Linda went over pages 10, 14, and 15 in the Cat Bordhi book #2. She demonstrated the moebius cast on, and we spent the evening practicing how to cast on and knit the first round. It is different; but once you get the hang of it, it is fun. The hardest part is the beginning: cast on and first round. A 2-page handout was given to us on how many stitches are needed to cast on for a moebius scarf and a copy of the moebius cowl scarf from Knitty Gritty which Linda L. brought for us.
Tips
Moebius knitting is knitting from the center out.
Start the cast on with a slip knot.
When you complete one round, you are actually completing two rounds.
You can only have one twist or overlap of cable; if you have more than one twist, then it is not moebius.
MCO stands for Moebius cast on.
Homework
Practice cast on and maybe knitting the first round.
Denise Needles
Auburn Needleworks will start to carry Denise Needles soon. A 10% discount is given to enrolled knitting students. Also the discontinued clover circular needles are in.
Reminder, there is no class next week. See you on May 17.
