Interweave Knitting Lab 2011

October 30, 2011 by Mary Jane 6 Comments

Interweave Knitting Lab is sure to go down the annals of Knitting History. Talk about Knitterati!  Barabara Walker, Meg Swanson, The Nancys: Bush and Marchant…and hold on…Alice Starmore!

And more more more! Cookie A, Ann Bud, Anne Berk, Amy Detjen, Cat Bordhi, Beth Brown-Reinsel, Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez, Donna Druchunas, Teva Durham, Karen Frisa, Kate Gagnon Osborn & Courtney Kelley, Robin Hansen, Vivian Hoxbro, Stefanie Japel, June Hemmons Hiatt, Galina Khmeleva, Annie Modesitt, Shirley Paden, Clara Parkes, Carol Rhoades, Gayle Roehm and Susan Strawn.

The event is mostly sold out but there are a few spaces left in some classes including my  Popcorns and Points class on Thursday, where you will learn two of my favorite Andean trims. We’ll learn to make the sweet scallopy punta edging found on traditional men’s chullo hats, I’ve used it as the edging of the wristet above. We’ll also learn to make grutas, strings of popcorns that can applied later or knit in. You can see I’ve popped a few in between the checkerboard pattern, just enough to make it absolutely darling. I’ll give you the pattern for the wristlet, or you can add them to just about anything you want. Beware! Once mastered, both are addictive fun.

You’ll need: Sport weight yarn, smooth plain yarns are best. Puntas (Scalloped Edging): 10 yds each of 3 different colors; Grutas (Popcorns): Assorted lengths of various colors of smooth yarns, 15” minimum length. Needles: 1 set dpn, and one 24” circular, US 5.

Below are some of the great fellows who patiently shared their techniques with me…do you spy a wee bit of Kirkwall, my Twist Collective socks?

Don’t miss my book signing, 200 Fair Isle Motifs, Thursday at 4pm!

    When I looked at your heading picture I immediately thought it was of a knitted FISH!!! I didn’t wake up until I read your post about you teaching a wristlet class!!! How funny is that?! Really sweet… and when it is not embellishing your wrist you can hang it on the wall as ART!!! Have a great trip and class MJ!

    I wasn’t a fan of labs in high school or college, but a knitting lab sounds fun–especially since I don’t have to know the periodic symbol for ytterbium.
