Linda shared that the corregated ribbing is slower to do, uses only one hand instead of two, the yarn cannot be locked, and the yarn has to be moved in the appropriate direction. For the FI cable technique, it is all done in stockinette stitch, uses two hands, and is awkward to handle.
Next week we will learn to make an entrelac sample. You will need to bring two colors of worsted weight yarn and a pair of #8 straight needles.
There was also a yarn auction for the leftover fingering wt yarn used for the finger puppets. An offer was made during class, and the yarn went to a good home. By the way, Linda and Diana delivered our puppets at Cal Expo last Friday. They have not heard yet if we have been accepted to show at Cal Expo.
Last Class, Jun 2
There are two classes left this session. We will have a potluck during the last class, and a sign up sheet was passed around.
Linda's sister, Nola, will be teaching a wagon wheel rug class at that time. It is not too late to sign up. Ladies who do not want to take the rug class is encouraged to come anyway to knit with Linda. I'm sure we are all curious to meet the person who instigates Linda's wild side.
Fall Session
Linda asked us if we wanted to start the Fall class on Sep 8 and end on Dec 1, or start on Sep 15 and end on Dec 8. The class decided to start on Sep 15. The theme is Hearth and Home, and Linda has some interesting projects lined up. She hopes that all of us will be back.
