The beautiful mittens of Latvia will be studied in this class and an adult mitten will be knitted to learn the following techniques: A fringed and scalloped cuff, the herringbone braid and many subtle

and beautiful variations of the half-braid, the waste-yarn

thumb, and round tip shaping. A variety of traditional

motifs (choice of two or three colors in a round) are incorporated in the main body of the mitten, and reading

from the chart will be covered. Additional techniques to be discussed include knitting with two yarns in the right hand, two yarns in the left hand, or a yarn in each hand

and working with three yarns in a round.

ClassesCinch BagThis Noni bag design comes in three sizes. Youll knit it in 100% wool yarn on large needles. Susan will guide you through the next step. The bag goes into the washer as a loose knit fabric. It emerges from the process much smaller in size and the fabric will be firm and dense--perfect for a tote bag. Youll use rivets and metal rings to attach the handle and belt detail that cinches in the bag and gives its name.
