Thursday

Sally Melville coming to LYS Angel Hair Yarn Co

Here are the two options for the upcoming Sally Melville Workshop at Angel Hair Yarn Co.:

SATURDAY, NOV. 10........ Sally will be teaching:
ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR THE SELF-TAUGHT KNITTER

Most of us are self-taught, and no matter how advanced and accomplished we are, there are holes in our experience. Perhaps we rely upon the same cast-on, the same increase, the same decrease. Perhaps we are not confident of our seaming or are confounded by the instruction to (i.e., pick up and knit 101 stitches around the neck edge .. . evenly!)

This workshop explores the best methods that we should all have in our repertoire and provides hands-on experience for each one. In addition, students will have the opportunity to ask questions about other knitting techniques. There is always room for the content of this class to be influenced by the students in the class.

This class will be held from 9-4, with a one-hour break for a provided box lunch (let us know if you have food allergies/issues). The cost willbe $125.


SUNDAY, NOV. 11,.......Sally will teach: EMERGENCY MEASURES

Sometimes the most insight comes from the struggle one faces when something goes REALLY wrong. But there are remedies for most any kind of 'disaster' in knitting. Using these can turn a problem into a wearable garment while teaching us to be more intuitive and more confident knitters!

This workshop will discuss the problems that confront most knitters plus what to do if the garment is too wide, too short, too long,too narrow, too outdated in style, if a bad colour choice was made, if the edgings are not holding well, if the knitter has run out of yarn or forgot to make pockets, or if the garment has suffered a laundering disaster.

This workshop will run from 12:30-3:30 (drinks and snacks will be provided). The cost is $60.

If you sign up for both classes, you may pay $160, saving $25! Sign up soon, as seating is limited.

Come visit Angel Hair from KY, AL, and other parts of TN! Make it a road trip with your friends! You won't be sorry...both Andrea and Pam have taken classes from Sally, and they can vouch that she is very knowledgeable and has a great teaching technique. The skills she is teaching in these two workshops are skills any level of knitter can use at any time in his/her knitting career.
