Class Details:

This is a two-part class. Both sections of the class will automatically be placed in your cart when you select one of the sessions.

My Upcycling Your Stash workshops focus on giving information, tips, and tricks to encourage knitters to reconnect with the yarns that they already have in their stash—a playful way to be confident to explore creativity! The participants will receive 3 seamless top-down circular yoke sweater templates (one for fingering/sock weight, other for DK weight, and another for worsted weight yarns) to apply the colorwork they swatch during the class.

Technique Requirements: knit/purl, cast on/bind off, increase/decrease, working in the round, short rows

Homework:

None

Supplies for Class:

• A variety of yarns and leftovers in different colors, fiber content, and in fingering/sock, DK, and worsted weight
• A range of knitting needles from your own stash that work with your yarn selection (suggestion sizes: US 3/3.25 mm to US 9/5.5 mm)
• Stitch markers
• Paper and pencil for notes
• A ruler
• Blocking tools (a small spray with water, a blocking surface, blocking pins, and a steamer (optional)
• The handout.
