What
is a knit-along? Knit-alongs are usually held 90 minutes
prior to our normal monthly meeting. A small group
of interested knitters meets for two or three months
to learn a technique or work on a project. Often,
the group may provide each other support via e-mail
or telephone.
Prior
knit-along subjects have been: socks, double-knitting,
modular knitting, Medrith Glover's Circumnavigated
Cardigan, Lucy
Neatby's Radiant Shawl , Elizabeth
Zimmermann's Baby Surprise Sweater, Sunburst
Slingbag by justonemorerow.com, Chris
Bylsma's Crayon Box Jacket and Elizabeth
Zimmermann's Ribwarmer.
KNIT-ALONG FOR JULY
Cottage
Creations Rambling Rows Jacket
Child
size to Adult, you choose!
Join
us at 12:30 before the July guild meeting!
(note
the time change)
Carol has started a ravelry thread on it. You can
see some variations of the pattern on ravelry here
(have to log in with your ravelry name/password) or
look below for a regular link Ravelry:
Rambling Rows Jacket by Pat Penney and Carol Anderson.
It looks best in a nice hand-painted or space-dyed
yarn with long color changes such as Noro. Here is
an example anyone can look at (photo is a bit dark)
Rambling
Rows Jacket
The
patterns will be available at Knitorious, Chris' Needle
Crafts, Knit ‘n Caboodle, and The Weaving Dept at
Myers House.
You
need yarn that will give you 4 sts per inch on a size
9. The designer suggests a worsted weight, so the
jacket stays soft, not stiff. There's even a pattern
for an 18” doll in the booklet. Carol Anderson, the
author, says her favorite RR is made out of Silk Garden
- YUM :)
If you want to try out the pattern and make a baby/child
sized jacket, we will have worsted weight yarn available
at the Potluck and at the July meeting.
If
you have ideas for future knit-alongs, contact Marilyn
