Vuokko Afghan Class This class is VIRTUAL (watch in the comfort of your favorite location) Date(s): September 23, October 21, January 27 and February 24 Time: 7:00pm - 8:30pm Instructor: Liz We talk a lot about meditative knitting projects, but sometimes you need a challenge. This is a big project with lots to learn, and this class will provide you with all the support you need to finish. Imagine how proud you'll be when you're curled up on the couch under this beauty. Description: This project is going to be big - and we'll be with you the entire way. We are going to knit the Vuokko Afghan together. I'm so excited. If you ask me what my favorite type of knitting is, I will instantly say lace. I love knitting lace! I will show you how to knit a successful gauge swatch, read your stitches, set up stitch markers, read the chart, blocking, and so much more. In each meeting, I will break down the part of the afghan we are working on, taking you through this pattern from beginning to end. Note: we are not scheduled to meet during the busy months of November and December, however, we will send out an email with video tips and encouragement. The meet-ups will be recorded so you can refer to them while you are working on this afghan. We will have prizes and incentives along the way! Who is this class for? Everyone who is comfortable with knitting and purling and wants a bit of a challenge. Believe it or not this afghan is made mostly of k2tog, ssk and psso stitches. This class is for you if you like working on a project with the encouragement of others. Supplies: You will need to purchase the following items. Yarn - we are suggesting Mota which the sample was made in. Order your kit here. US 10 46" circular needle and US10 DPNs - or sized needles to get gauge. You will need basic knitting notions in addition to the yarn. Homework: Knit a gauge swatch prior to class - we'll send out a how-to video prior to our first meeting.
