Saturday, December 6, 1:30 to 4 p.m.
Elevate your knits with embroidery embellishments--it's all the rage in Paris (well, actually, Lyon)!
In this fun workshop, you will learn a few tricks for embroidering your knits--hats, mittens, sweaters, anything you like (even to fix a small hole!). We will practise basic stitches using embroidery floss to create a flower and snowflake on a knitted swatch.
You will need:
- a 6" x 6" flat gauge swatch or any knitting you want to practise on (not a final finished item yet!) in fingering, sport, or DK weight yarn
- a 5" embroidery hoop
- small scissors or snips
We will provide the template, the tapestry needle, and two colours of embroidery floss/yarn!
About your instructor: Catherine recently returned from attending knitting classes in Lyon, France, including one about embroidery on knits! She is the creator of the masterpieces pictured, the second of which is currently on display in the store.
