Sideways Self-Fringing Shawls Workshop with Imagined Landscapes (Sarah Schira)

What if you never had to measure and attach a fringe again? What if you could use up every scrap of yarn in a precious skein? Learn the basics of self-fringing edging and how to incorporate it into a side to side shawl.

Knit a mini shawl to practice all the techniques involved including: increasing and decreasing, dropping the fringe, and methods to finish the fringe. Students get a handout with mini shawl directions as well as a download code for their choice of the Prairie Hills Shawl or the Prairie Valley Shawl, both of which use this technique.

Supplies:

• 20-30 grams of worsted weight yarn. Yarn that is not sticky is recommended : smooth, silky, drapey yarns .
• US 8 needles for working flat. We will not need long cables for this method. Straights or DPNS are fine too.

Required skills: Knit and purl, cast on, bind off

Class Time: 2-3 hours, Friday, April 4, 5:30 P.M. - 8:30 P.M.
