Gnome Beards & Bobble Noses Workshop by Imagined Landscapes (Sarah Schira)

We learn 6 bobble types so that you can discover your favourite method for use in shawls, sweaters, and gnomes. We then cover a few beard styles that deal with techniques like purposefully dropping stitches and different cast-on methods. Is this a technique class disguised a s a gnome class or a gnome class disguised as a technique class? It's both! So whether you want to learn new knitting techniques or explore gnomes, this class is for you. 

Class time: 2-3 hours
