Pop Knit Wk 11

It was the last class of the middle session. We are taking the last week of March off for spring break. We learned two interesting techniques. Here is Irene's sample of knitting a braid row using two or three strands of yarn. Sandy tried it with four strands.

We also practiced knitting welts. Karen made a two-color one that I should have taken a picture of.

Linda shared the Red Heart catalog with us. They are expanding into novelty yarns, and the catalog shows the variety of colors.

Third Session
Good news! The next session is nine weeks instead of eight weeks (for the same price) and starts on April 4 through May 30.

Linda suggests that we do an end of class year event. Last year we had tea at the Mansion Inn. This year she asked if we want to do a Sip and Knit at a winery for wine tasting and knitting. Of course, no one said "yea" or "nay."

Fall Class
The theme for the Fall class starting in September is "Sweaters, Shells, Skirts, and Shrugs." There will be something of interest for everybody.

Art Fiber in SF
The sign up list was passed around. A date has not been selected yet. If you go, remember to bring your own knitting needles for yarn tasting.

Here's some of the ladies pondering color choices for Karen W's rug project.

Toni started her top that she bought from Dandoh at Stitches; she also showed us a couple of cute gargoyle patterns that she ordered online. Penny finished her "Sock It To Me" bracelet designed by Teri. Linda had a good idea; she suggested that we all wear the one we made for a group picture.

I wish you happy knitting and Happy Easter this week!
