This 6 sided wrap is constructed by knitting each triangle one at a time and then building off of that triangle by picking up and knitting stitches to form the next triangle. The border and the main body of the shawl are knit at the same time by using an intarsia technique so that the front and the back are totally reversible. This project is designed to help you build new skills as it incorporates intarsia\, i-cord edging\, short rows\, picking up stitches\, and the kitchener stitch. It is a larger project but we will work on it one triangle at a time and before you know it you will have a wonderful wrap that could also be used as a lap blanket.\nIf the full Hexa Hap seems too daunting a task\, you can also knit the 1/2 Hexa or the 3/4 Hexa Wrap. \nSuggested yarn for this project is Juniper Moon’s Patagonia but you could use a number of other sport/DK weight yarns. You will need 1300 yards for MC and 600 yards of CC. (4 skeins for MC\, 2 skeins for CC in Patagonia) \nThe pattern is available on Ravelry as an individual pattern or as an e-book. There are many great designs so if you are interested in knitting other patterns from this book I highly recommend getting the book. There is a large section on the history of Haps and their design too.\nCost: $60+ Materials. The amount of yarn you use depends on which size you do.\n$60.00Read more URL:https://lindascraftique.com/event/hexa-hap-kal-with-brigit-dec-7th-and-jan-11th-11-200/ CATEGORIES:Class END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20191130T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20191130T160000 DTSTAMP:20260621T095147 CREATED:20191029T134445Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191029T135821Z UID:7971-1575120600-1575129600@lindascraftique.com SUMMARY:Mosaic Knitting November 30th\, 1:30-4:00 DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Charles Voth \nIf your Fairisle or stranded knitting is sometimes as firm and tough as canvas\, you may enjoy doing Mosaic knitting for your colorwork projects.\n In this class you’ll learn the ease of Mosaic knitting and see how much more elastic your knit fabric is\, and there is no need for two-handed\, or one-handed twisting of colours.\nWe’ll make a wash-cloth\, a perfect small and portable item\, still in time for gift giving. \nMaterials: 2 balls dishcloth cotton (included)\n$60.00Read more URL:https://lindascraftique.com/event/mosaic-knitting-november-30th-130-400/ CATEGORIES:Class END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20191130T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20191130T130000 DTSTAMP:20260621T095147 CREATED:20191009T150705Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191011T152547Z UID:7844-1575108000-1575118800@lindascraftique.com SUMMARY:Crochet 101\, November 30th 10-1:00 DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Charles Voth \nLearn the 5 basic stitches of crochet and how to read basic patterns.\nProject 1: Learning Swatch…work a rectangle of crocheted fabric; you could use the end result as a kitchen cloth.\nProject 2: Random Row Learning Cowl…work a long rectangle of crocheted fabric using a random row game to vary the stitches you use and sew the two short ends together to make a cowl.\n \nMaterials: Worsted weight cotton yarn(included) and a range of hooks from 5mm to 6.5mm.\nIf you wish to do a cowl with your new skills you will need 250 yards of DK (#3) weight yarn.
