DIANNA SHAWL - 2 Saturday classes
Dianna Shawl using Noro Sekku yarn
April 9 and 16, 2011 from 1pm to 3pm.
Class Fee: $40 


This reversible, lace, entrelac scarf is suitable for any cobweb, lace weight or fingering weight yarn. Yarn with wide bands of colour, like Noro, Fame Trend, Fame Rand, create a dramatic effect.

Download the free pattern and bring it and knitting needles two sizes larger than recommended for the yarn to the class.

Homework:
Become familiar with some basic entrelac skills by knitting Criminy Jickets' 'Garterlac Dishcloth'. The Dianna pattern does not teach the basics of entrelac knitting. By knitting the dishcloth ahead of time, it will make knitting the shawl a LOT easier.
