CONTINENTAL KNITTING<br />
Class Description: Knitting Continental style involves holding the yarn in your left hand and<br />
“picking” it, as opposed to holding the yarn in your right hand and “throwing” it (English style).<br />
When you hold the yarn in your right hand, you have to let go of your knitting in order to<br />
“throw” the yarn around the needle when making a stitch. You also have to let go of your<br />
knitting in order to bring the yarn forward or back between the needles when switching between<br />
knitting and purling (when ribbing, for example). When you hold the yarn in your left hand, you<br />
never have to let go of your needles.<br />
If you’re interested in knitting more comfortably or with greater speed, this class is for you! This<br />
is also an important skill to know for two-handed color knitting.<br />
Materials: Worsted weight yarn and size 7 or 8 needles<br />
Level: Beginner<br />
Instructor: Iryth Ferrandino<br />
CRANBERRY CAPELET BY THEA COLMAN<br />
Class Description: A fun and intuitive knit! A perfect project when you don't want to commit<br />
to knitting an adult sweater. This is a beautiful capelet that is meant to end at your elbows and to<br />
keep your arms free. Wear it out to show it off or keep yourself toasty around the house. A<br />
cable runs down the center (both in the front and back) with ribs on either side of the seams.<br />
Top-down construction means you can try it on as you go!<br />
Materials: 700-1200 yards worsted-weight yarn, size 7 circular needles - 16” for the neck & at<br />
least 29” for body; cable needle, tapestry needle, stitch markers; pattern ($6 download). Please<br />
download and print pattern before class from http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cranberrycapelet<br />
Level: Advanced Beginner<br />
Homework: Swatch first to get gauge of 5 stitches/inch. Before class: Sizing based on bust<br />
measurement: S(32-36), M(38-42), L(44-50). Cast on 110(114, 118) stitches with smaller<br />
needle. Work first row FLAT in K1, P1 ribbing. Join being careful not to twist, and place marker<br />
at beginning of next round. Please note: The pattern says to knit 8” for the turtleneck. When you<br />
wear the capelet, you will be folding this in half. If you prefer a shorter turtleneck, you may only<br />
want to knit 6-7” instead.<br />
