ReBelle

This week at ReBelle is another exciting one. On Monday, join Robyn for Beginning Knitting, a two-part class that will teach you the fundamentals of knitting including knits, purls, increases, decreases, and basic pattern reading. This class is made for the absolute beginner and the class price includes all the materials you will need. On Tuesday afternoon, Susan will be starting her daytime Sweater Workshop where you pick the pattern and yarn you love (with our help if you need it) and bring it to class. While you knit, Susan will guide you through sizing, customizing, and finishing. Whether this is your first sweater or your tenth, this is an excellent way to improve your knitting skills. On Wednesday, Susan will be teaching her Intro to Mosaic Knitting class where you will learn to use slipped stitches to make amazing colorwork designs. Then on Thursday afternoon we will be continuing our June KAL/CAL, Playing with Color, where we will focus on projects that use more than on color and various colorwork techniques. Thursday Evening, Susan will be teaching her I-Cord Extravaganza where you will learn how to knit a basic i-cord and then move on to other variations such as attached i-cord, an i-cord bind off, double i-cord straps, and i-cord buttonholes. Saturday, Susan will be teaching a Needle Felting Shapes class with cookie cutters where you will learn to make basic felted shapes using wool and embellish them with yarn and fiber scraps. This is a beginner level class so no previous experience is required and we will provide the supplies for you to make a felted friend. Finally, Saturday afternoon, Susan will be teaching a class on making Dorset Buttons, a traditional button originally made from bone rings and wool. We will provide the materials for you to make a couple of versions of these buttons using plastic rings and embroidery floss, perfect for coordinating with any project.

For this week's Finished Object Friday, Sarah shows off the Watermelon Baby Cardigan by Stitchylinda Designs that she knit out of Berroco's Pima Soft. This adorable newborn sweater is the perfect gift for those summer babies and it can be knit with a single skein of each color. Sarah put together some kits containing the two full balls of the main colors, a mini ball of the white, and the buttons- everything you need to make this little cardigan and the matching hat.
