Tonight was all about color theory. Linda gave us a thorough lesson with handouts about various color combinations. The majority of the class made a color wheel with yarn. This lesson is important for us to know because we will make better choices of color that will look good on us based on our skin's under tone.
Linda showed us many samples of color combinations from this book, Color Works by Deb Menz. The samples were made from various fibers.
For next week's lesson, bring one skein of variegated yarn and one skein of solid color yarn that coordinates with the variegated color.
We also received patterns for the finger puppets. Fingering weight yarn will be ordered for us to use. Linda would like us to let her know what colors we would like her to purchase. The finger puppets are little tubes with embellishments. You do not have to knit everything such as the accessories to go with the puppets.
A stripe pattern called Cat Wrap was shared with the class.
Linda bought a grab bag at the Tin Thimble for $6. This wooden knitting needle case was in the bag. A big sale is going on this weekend there. They plan to specialize in felting and fibers in the future and not so much on fabric and notions.
Linda also sewed this cathedral window purse. She planned on having a class.
Debi knitted this scarf made from pom poms. She bought the yarn at Beverley's and was able to make two scarves from one skein.
Diana gave us this cross stitch scarf pattern in class. She bought this hand painted yarn at the Tahoe Yarn Company in Truckee. This pattern comes from the 101 Designers One Skein Wonders book.
Louise knitted a hat for her nephew and made this little purse choosing yarn from throwing dice.
Karen's cat. She studied Irene's sample and made her own. She also wore socks that she knitted and brought information about a lavender farm.
Happy knitting!
