Annie Modesitt Teaching at Lambikin’s Hideaway
We are happy to announce that in May we have a nationally known knit and crochet designer coming to teach at Lambikin’s Hideaway. Annie Modesitt will be teaching at our store from May 20th to May 23rd. Starting Monday, January 22 we will be taking registrations for her classes. Class size will be limited, which will make signups on a first come first serve basis. You must pay the class fee in full when signing up to reserve your spot.
The classes that are going to be offered are:
Cocoon Shrug: Saturday, May 20 10 AM - 4 PM Skill Level: Intermediate to AdvanceCost: $150 (Yarn is included) Description: Each student will create a swatch based on the Fall Vogue Knitting 2005 cover sweater (designed by the instructor). In this class students will use their measurements to determine the correct size of a cocoon sweater and perfect sleeve placement. Students should know how to knit and purl and be comfortable changing colors. The yarn provided is Lorna’s Laces Worsted weight wool and their Boucle yarn. When you sign up for class you will be able to pick you color choices for your project. Lambikin’s will provide lunch.
Technique Sampler Bag: Sunday, May 21 12-6 PM Skill Level: Beginner to AdvancedCost: $60 dollarsDescription: In this class you will make a small bag using many different techniques including cables, pocket making, and more. Lambikin’s will provide a snack.
Cable Mania : Monday, May 22 12-3 PMSkill Level: Intermediate to AdvanceCost: $30Description: Cables are a mainstay of knitting, but the technique for knitting them WITHOUT cabling needles has eluded many expert knitters. Overcome your fear of cabling and at the same time learn a technique that is faster and easier than the standard technique which uses an extra needle to twist the yarn. Even if you're a beginning knitter, you can cable like an Irish Fisherman (or woman). Come prepared to knit.
Combinations Knitting : Monday, May 22 5-8 PM Skill Level: Beginner to AdvancedCost: $30 dollarsDescription: Christened "Combination Knitting" by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts (Fall 2000 Interweave Knits magazine) this method is a combination of the Western or German/American/English style of knitting and Eastern/Islamic knitting. Easier and quicker than traditional Western knitting, this method, creates a very even tension with less "rowing out" less wrist strain. If this method is different than how you've been taught, give it a try and you may discover a new love of knitting blooming. If you're a first time knitter - enjoy!
New Directions in knitting with color: Tuesday, May 23 12-3 PMSkill Level: Intermediate to AdvancedCost: $30 dollarsDescription: Colorwork is a wonderful thing, and so satisfying for a knitter! Don't be afraid, be bold and confident as you take up your needles - enjoy the full range of colored yarns that are all around you. In this class we will learn how to "read" a colorwork chart and learn the basics of changing colors in a row while knitting. We will also discuss the differences between fair isle and intarsia, and compare different methods of carrying yarn across the back of the work. Come prepared to knit!
