Linen Stitch Workshop, Saturday, July 3, 2010

July 02, 2010

Drop in anytime between 10 am and 2 pm to try your hand at linen stitch.  It is done by slipping one stitch and knitting the next stitch.  We’ll have swatches cast on and ready to put in your hands.
Our current project in linen stitch is the Koigu Linen Stitch Scarf, a Churchmouse Classic pattern. This scarf is ideal vacation knitting.  The requirements for vacation knitting would be that the project is not difficult, doesn’t take up much space in your suitcase, but it so beautiful that you can’t help but do one more row.
