1 to 4pm
Laura Farson, The Entwined Knitter, a nationally-known knitting designer/instructor who has taught at Stitches West and Stitches Midwest this year, is in town to teach her techniques at YarnOver. While in the Twin Cities, she will be at Knits & Pearls from 1-4pm on Sunday, May 1st, teaching her Basic Checked Hat using her twined knitting technique.
In her book, Laura describes, "'Twined' knitting is made with two strands of yarn, either from both ends of a single ball of yarn or from two separate balls. ... As you knit, each strand is twisted around the other. The resulting fabric is thicker and warmer than fabric knit with a single strand of yarn ... (and) it's still elastic and soft."
The class will be $20 and you'll receive 15% off all supplies for the class. Autographed copies of her book, which will be used in class, will be available all afternoon.
