| Current & Upcoming Events THE MAGIC OF DOUBLE KNITTING Yvonne Cutright, Instructor Saturday & Sunday, February 25th and 26th Saturday from 11:00-4:00 Sunday from 12:00-4:00 Yvonne has designed her own knitting patterns and has taught a number of knitting techniques in the Portland area and beyond for many years, such as Cast on Extravaganza, Bavarian Knitting (also known as Traveling Stitches), Entrelac, and the Double Knit Gloves, just to name a few. She is also in the process of designing a pattern for Sheepkids' Yarn. (I am very excited about that!) In this workshop, you will experience the magic of double knitting while making a pair of gloves, beginning at each finger tip, by knitting back and forth on two double pointed needles. This method of making a circular tube (finger) allows you to try each finger on as you knit so you can custom fit the fingers and the glove to the individual hand. It is a fun, entertaining and quick way to make a pair of gloves that fit your hand the way you want gloves to fit. Two different ways of attaching the thumb will be discussed - with a gusset, or knitting the thumb in after the glove is finished. If time allows and you care to do so, we may also add some beads to the glove. Double knitting is a technique that can be used for many things other than gloves, as seen by the number of books on this subject. Gloves are a small yet functional item to knit to gain a good understanding of how this magical process works. Please join us at the Rose & Ram for this fun and interesting class on February 25th from 11:00-4:00 and the 26th from 12:00-4:00. Materials: DPNs in sizes 2 (US) or smaller for fingers and 3(US) for the rest of the glove. A smooth, firmly spun yarn in a sport or DK weight that will wear well such as Malabrigo's Arroyos.
