Arm Knitting: Make a Cowl with Anne Weil
Arm Knitting: Make a Cowl with Anne Weil Chapter 1 - Introduction Overview - Hi, I'm Anne Wiel. I write the blog Flax and Twine. And today I'm gonna show you how to make a very luscious arm knit cowl. My favorite thing about arm knitting is that you don't need any tools to do it. You're knitting on your arms. There are no little itty bitty needles to deal with it's all right here. And when you do that you make these giant over sized stitches that are just gorgeous. You just want to snuggle down with it. The other thing that's awesome is it's super fast. So you can just make all these fabulous gifts for your friends and family. I'm gonna show you how to cast on. How to work a basic knit stich. How to stop in the middle if you need to. How to keep your stitches tight. How to bind off. And finally how to wave the ends in. I like to add a fun embellishment by adding pom poms to each corner. If you haven't started making your handmade gifts for the holidays these arm knit cowls are a fabulous place to start. You can bang one out in an hour and in a Saturday afternoon you can have a whole stack ready for giving. (cheery chime music) Chapter 2 - Materials Materials - Let's review the materials we're gonna need for this class first things first, you need three skeins of super bulky yarn at about a hundred yards for each skein so that's about 300 total.

The Wool Season Is Upon Us! Moving Into Cooler Weather for Me, I Think of Happily Getting out My Lopi Sweater
October 2014 - January 2015 www.yarnharborduluth.com shop notes The wool season is upon us! Moving into cooler weather for me, I think of happily getting out my Lopi sweater. I love Lopi! The depth of the colors, the traditional yoke, and the colorful designs blow me away. It’s more often than not that when I’m in the Lopi section of the shop, I find myself wanting to start another sweater. Icelandic wool is light weight, so it’s a great choice for a long jacket style sweater. We will be having a trunk show in January with not only the traditional bulky sweaters, it will also feature shawls and garments made from the lace weight, Einband. I have been eyeing this yarn since I ordered it for the shop and haven’t yet taken the plunge. I’m not a huge lace knitter, so here is the chance to see if we all can be inspired by this beautiful yarn! We have another great line-up of trunk shows scheduled. Keeping it local in shop hours October with Allison Barta’s Irish Cable Knitting, this show will feature her Aran monday 12 - 8 knits including a traditional Aran cardigan, poncho, and slippers. In November, tuesday 10 - 5 we will be featuring a yarn tasting with Stephenie from Northern Woolen Mills wednesday 10 - 5 to get a hand sampling of their unique local blends. Some of the fibers include thursday 10 - 7 sheep, alpaca, bison, and llama from farmers and ranchers from neighboring friday 10 - 5 states. saturday 10 - 5 sunday 12 - 5 More inspiring yarns from hand dyers..
