World famous author, designer, and knitter,
Maggie Jackson, is coming to A Good Yarn for a weekend filled with fun and learning!
Join us Friday January 29th, from 6-8 pm for a
Wine and Cheese night of fun and fashion to start the weekend! Maggie will be presenting her beautiful works of art on our own beautiful models and inspire you to create your own. Please join us, we'd love to see you.
During class on Saturday January 30th,
"OH NO! Not another scarf!" Maggie will show us some great techniques as we make blocks using rag yarn, create tubes, ladder stitch, and slits in our work. You can also use the project as a wall hanging, purse, table-runner, pillow etc and we will talk about more design ideas. We'll end with Maggie showing us some of her own finishing techniques.
To finish the weekend, on Sunday January 31st, Maggie will help us create
Wearable Art. Learning techniques for working with squares, you will create either a small wrap or scarf. All types of squares can be knitted, but we will focus on the more interesting ones including those with leather bows on a Single Ridge Stitch knit square, ruffle stitch with tubes, lacy stitch, knotted yarns square, tasseled square, fur square, as well as others.
We have many of Maggi's books and yarn in stock right now and several samples of her garments for you to try on.
The workshops have been so successful that we have started a waiting list for both classes.
