| Love to help others? We are happy to announce the Knit Pickings Charity Group. We invite you to join us on Thursdays at 10:00 A.M. to make some wonderful items for great causes. Project Linus: Provide a new, handmade blanket that will be given as a gift to a seriously ill or traumatized child (ages 0-18). The Ships Project: Knit items like hats and slippers for our troops. Socks For Soldiers: Show love and support to our soldiers overseas by knitting a warm pair of socks. The Knit Pickings Charity Group is non-instructional, but will however, provide the guidelines for all of the charitable options listed above. |
| Knit Swirl Coat of Many Colors KAL This sweater is done in beautiful colors and fits anybody type. The pattern a is worked from the outside in, beginning with what seems like an absurd number of stitches and getting smaller and faster with each round. Each pattern also has a hexagonal diagram filled with numbers and arrows, accompanied by an equally daunting-looking numeric chart of the sleeve, lapel, and arms. Keep breathing, because they’re actually quite clear and intuitive. Perhaps most unusual is the fact that these jackets do not rely on chest, arm length, or any other traditional measurements for their sizing. You simply measure the yoke (she shows how in the book) and choose from among the three possible sizes based on that number. This is a KAL (Knit- along) which means I am not charging for the class. I will be available for assistance in making the sweater. We will meet each week to discuss the pattern, problems that anyone is having and knit together on this gorgeous sweater. We will be ordering Kits from Mountain Colors for the KAL. There are 3 Colorways. 1. Poppy-pinks & Purples (like the cover) 2. Blue Flax- Blues & Teals 3. Sunflower-Warm Autumn colors. Kits are Regularly 260.00 for sizes 1 and 2 and $ 288.00 for size 3.
