You will learn to adapt a lace stitch pattern or use simple knit and purl stitches to create your "one of a kind" shawl. If you want to use a lace pattern, you must be able to read a chart.
Bring one or two skeins of fingering or lace weight yarn, knitting needles size 2, 2.5, 3, or 3.5 with an 80-100 cm length cord (30"-40").(Your Preference on the size of needles depends on how loose or tight you knit.) You can bring some left over fingering yarn to test gauge. Paper, pencils, erasers and a few little gadgets will be provided.
Be prepared to have a great time and learn a lot.
