Sock Weight Version

Gardner’s Shawl Class
Tuesday Evenings 7:00 – 8:30
October 30 and November 6
Cost $30

This project has all sorts of clever techniques that you will use again and again.

First, Lisa will teach you to start a shawl with a garter stitch tab.  Most triangle shawls are started off this way because it gives you a neat and strong point to build on.

Next she’ll help you figure out the slip-stitch cable – with a cable needle or without. And then there will be a trick or two for carrying yarns for stripes.

The hardest part of the project will be choosing your yarn.  Will you choose sock yarn or worsted?  Solids, variegated or self striping? And then will you block it with points or a straight edge?  Take a look at Ravelry for some inspiration.

This class starts soon, so call to sign up today.
