New! Summer Knit Tote Workshop

Daisy McClellanComment

Cara Corey Designs has a new knit workshop perfect for summer!

The Summer Knit Tote Workshop is a beginner-friendly knitting class, where you will learn to make a basic knit stitch using large circular knitting needles. Then you will seam the bottom of your bag and add homemade braided handles. The finished bag is approximately 12x15 inches.

This stitch actually creates a reversible pattern, so you can wear your bag two ways. And by using the large needles, you will get an airy weave that makes the perfect summer bag for markets or the beach. Once you know how to make the bag, you can adapt the pattern to different sizes and shapes.

Your kit will include:
• 200 feet of 3/16" cotton clothesline rope
• A set of size 50/25 mm circular knitting needles
• Printed instructions

WHAT: Summer Knit Tote Workshop

PRICE: $45 class + $35 kit
WHEN:
Sunday, June 27th, 1:00pm PST
WHERE:
Online via Zoom. You will receive a link a few days prior to class.

Register now - Hurry space is limited! (Register by June 18th to get your kit in time.)

We had such a good time at our Giant Knit Blanket Workshop with Cara Carey Designs last night. The thick merino wool was like a cloud and the colors, so good! It was so fun learning the table knitting technique, how to source the materials, and meeting new faces.  Every student was able to finish their blanket in the class too!
