Join gather Sunday May 19th at 11a for our Giant Knit Blanket Workshop with Cara Corey Designs. For this class we are headed to Golden Gate Doulas and popping up in their gorgeous family room. Learn how to make a dreamy super thick and cozy knit blanket out of wool roving, plus tips and techniques for caring for these blankets. No knitting experience required! Knit and crochet designer Cara Corey will show you how to use a "table knitting" technique, forming the stitches with your hands rather than using knitting needles.
In this class you will also learn:
• How to source additional wool roving
• How to graft ends together by needle felting
• How to care for the wool, and use felting to prevent it from fuzzing too much
• Where to buy giant knitting needles (if you decide you want them) and how to make your own giant needles out of PVC pipe
The yarn we provide is enough wool roving to make a blanket approximately 30x50 inches in size with a lot of stretch. Please choose a color from the color swatch photo when you check out. Color choices are: Undyed (Cream), Seal, Granite, Aubergine, Candy Pink, Mallard, Denim, and Claret.
This two hour class includes mimosas and light brunch snacks. Our gracious hosts, Golden Gate Doulas have a beautiful community space in San Francisco’s lower Haight neighborhood for new and expecting moms. No need to be a parent though, this workshop is all inclusive and everyone is welcome! Workshop includes all yarn/materials in price.
