Color Techniques II Wk 12

It was the last week of the 2d session with a terrible snow storm in the Foothills. The snow was coming down pretty heavy, so I could not attend class. Once again, Linda L. came to my rescue and took notes. Sorry there are no photos. I heard Diana brought beautiful Nuno felted scarves for show 'n tell, Cheryl made a cute felted red tote, and several ladies finished their heart sampler. Linda demonstrated the Kichener stitch which is on pages 138-139 in our packets. No new handouts this week.

Last Class
Linda L. sent us an email on Friday from Linda saying, "Apparently, I can't count weeks. Last night was the last class of the twelve week session. Next week is the new session...Yes, we are in the system. It is nine weeks long ending on June 3 with a week off during Easter week. Because it is shorter the cost is less. I will be collecting a $5 material fee, but not until the first week in April. We will still start the intarsia on April 7. Next week students can catch up or I will have something for those that are."

For the intarsia technique, we will need small bobbins. Linda recommends the patch purse from Knitwhits.com as a beginning intarsia project. The patch purse will need to be ordered through Knitwhits if you are interested. A photo can be seen on the main table in class.

Finger Puppets
I also heard that Karen and Vickie, in their absence, were voted to come up with a label idea for the finger puppets. Of course, they were joking. Some ideas mentioned were a little booklet, a bracelet, and a ring.

SCC Visit
We will be going on a field trip on April 2 (Saturday) to visit the Sacramento Camellia Stockinette's in Rancho Cordova. The meeting is about 11ish, but we will meet for breakfast first. Please remember to bring your knitted bra, celebrity icon, state flower, Nola's challenge, and notecards/calendars.
