Embroidering Knits

February 21st, 5:30 pm

Embroidered knits look intricate and opulent, but they are actually easy and inexpensive to create.  In Embroidering Knits, you'll learn how to stitch a design on knitwear using yarn, a hoop, and a simple pattern.  This class is suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced students.

Bring a knit item to embroider, such as a scarf, hat, sweater, shawl, or even a swatch (small tubular items, such as mittens and socks, can be tricky for beginners).  A few swatches will be available.  Bring a six to eight inch hoop, if you have one.  Otherwise, hoops will be available for loan or purchase.  Included in the course:  crewel-work needle, a selection of yarn and wool embroidery floss, and a pattern.  $15 per person
