YARN/FLEECE DYEING WORKSHOP
Patricia Farley & Knit One
Patricia has been happily making art wear in her studio for over twenty years.
A largely self-taught artist, she has been creating with her hands for as long as she remembers.
She grew up in Michigan and graduated from Goucher College in Baltimore, studying
English and Art History. She worked in publishing, retailing and social work before
following her passion for textiles. Patricia learned weaving from Rose Bank at the
Center for the Arts in Pittsburgh, and after thirteen years creating woven garments, she
made the transition to surface design. Her work with color and pattern became more
spontaneous and direct. Her garment designs became more personal ten years ago when
she designed the shirt she always wanted to wear. The FARLEYFARLEY label was born.

Magic Loop for Socks
Do you want to learn how to knit socks? In this class you will learn to knit basic,
all-purpose, cuff-down socks using the magic loop technique (one circular needle)
or two circulars. The choice is yours. It assumes that you have basic knitting skills.
You should know how to cast-on, knit, purl, increase and decrease. You should also
know the difference between right and wrong sides of your knit fabric. In the first class
you will learn to cast-on and begin to knit the cuff of your sock--and you will receive
instructions for knitting the heel flap. During the second class you will learn how to
turn the heel, knit the gusset, and receive instructions for completing the toe of the sock.
Materials required:
Fingering weight sock yarn (400 yards+--approximately 100g for a pair of women's socks)
Needles - one circular size 2 (but if you already have a size 1, it will work as well).
The circular cable length should be at least 32" with a very flexible cable (something
like an Addi Turbo), This will not work with a
circular needle that has a stiff cable,
or two circular needles--both size 2 (but if you already have 1's, they will work as well.)
Cable length does not matter, but it may be easier if they are two different
lengths (e.g., a 16' and a 24').
Stitch Markers
Tapestry needle
Skill Level: Advanced beginner
$50 for 2 two-hour sessions
March 3 & 10 1-3pm
