Knits That Breathe author, Julie Turjoman, will be teaching

Air Conditioning Your

Knitted Garments

June 25, Saturday, 1 to 4 pm.

Youll learn how to take a plain knitted tunic pattern (which Julie will
provide to class students) and maximize it for comfort by using lace,

open work, drape, and insertion panels.


Key to Julies approach to warm weather comfort is embracing
the special properties of plant fibers and
understanding how these fibers will behave
once the garment is off the needles.
There will be some in class knitting, but this class will be more
about seeing examples of the many possibilities for airconditioning your knits. Her extensive handout will
capture all this great information so that you
can refer to it again and again.
Dont miss this chance to learn from, and be inspired
by, this very engaging teacher/designer.
You will want to do the class homework to get the
maximum benefit out of this class.
More details are available at the shop.

Class Fee: $75 plus supplies

If we have enough interest, Julie will teach another


session of the same class on

Saturday morning
9 am to 12 pm.

Entrelac

Horseshoe Lace Top

Entrelac is one of the great tricks of the knitting


world. Is it woven? Does it involve a lot of
sewing? None of the above. You'll work with
self-striping yarn, creating the illusion that each
small section is made from a separate yarn
source, when in fact you'll be working with one
continuous strand. It's also a great opportunity
to try the option of knitting back backwards so
that you can work with the right side of the piece
facing you at all times. Choose the wide shawl
version or a narrower scarf version and finish
with an elegant knotted fringe.

Horsehoe Lace is a traditional Shetland lace


pattern. The secret behind many traditional
patterns is that they really are very easy.
You'll learn to love this simple lace pattern
while knitting the front and back panels.
After you are comfortable with the lace, we'll
make the A-line side panels by adding extra
stitches between lace repeats and gradually
decreasing those extra stitches. This piece
will give you practice in basic lace knitting
and mattress stitch seaming.

you will have plenty of time to get
comfortable knitting in the round
on small needles before learning
how to shape the heel and toe.
Finish the sock with kitchener
stitch so that there will be no
seam at the toe of your socks.
