Cimidar KAL

"When designing these legwarmers I was strongly inspired by Susie Roger's Reading Mitts. I simply loved this simple pattern, this elegant look!

I tried to design something similar, something matching. Both combined are a great eyecatcher, making an awesome autumn outfit.

The difficulty of these legwarmers is very low. Skills needed are knit, purl, yo, k2tog, casting on and binding off." - by Melanie Berg

Dates: 6 Nov. and 18 Nov from 4:30 - 6:30

Instructor: Heidi Narum

Fee: Free

Materials

Copy of pattern.

Yarn of your choice with appropriate DPN or circular needles and a swatch of 20 stitches by 20 rows.

Don't Be  A Square, Learn to Knit, Afghan Knit-Along, Block 15, " The Mighty Miter"

Behold The Mighty Miter!

This block starts in one corner and increases along the center line, using the backward loop cast-on to grow outward.  For many of us, the backward loop was the first cast-on that we learned.  Others picked it up in the course of making buttonholes or adding stitches at the underarm of a sleeve.

If you haven’t learned it yet, here’s your chance.  Amy shows us how! 

If you know how to knit and purl but are ready for the next step this KAL (Knit-Along) is for you. We will be joining Universal Yarn and Amy Gunderson for this KAL and you will have the added benefit of hands on help from Heidi. If you missed the earlier blocks - no worries, we will help you catch up.

Tuesday, 28 Oct., 5:30 - 7
Instructor - Heidi Narum
Fee - Free

Supplies-
At least 4 colors of Uptown worsted or other worsted weight yarn. Color combination ideas. 2 balls of each color. Each block uses about 20 oz.
Size 8 knitting needles (or size needed to get gauge)
Tapestry needle
Copy of the pattern available here.

Skill level
