Some bags carry groceries.
Some bags carry your latest knitting project.
This one will almost certainly leave the shop stuffed with yarn you absolutely did not plan on buying when you walked in.
Join Tammy, owner of Freckled Frog Yarns, as she leads this fun Knit Along where we make a gorgeous mosaic market bag that somehow manages to be practical, beautiful, and just a little bit of a yarn enabler. We'll be using Tammy's hand-dyed Squish yarn, because if you're going to spend hours making a bag, it might as well be one people stop you to ask about.
You'll start by knitting a sturdy square bottom, pick up stitches to work the body in the round, and create the woven basket look using simple slip-stitch mosaic knitting. No juggling multiple strands at the same time. Just one color per row and a little knitting magic. The double-thick handles and polished top edge make it sturdy enough for farmers markets, beach days, library books... or the twelve skeins that somehow followed you home after class.
Tammy will be there every step of the way with tips, encouragement, and the occasional reminder that counting is, in fact, important.
Dates: Fridays, October 2nd and October 16th from 1-3pm
Cost: $25
Skill Level: Good for adventurous beginners and beyond. Must know how to cast on, knit and purl.
You'll Learn:
- Picking up stitches with confidence
- Slip-stitch mosaic knitting
- Professional finishing techniques
- How to build a bag you'll actually use
Supplies Needed:
- Yarn: 2 (small bag) or 3 (large bag) skeins Squish worsted weight superwash yarn
- US 7 - 10 circular needle (24" for the small bag or 32" for the large bag)
- Stitch markers (two colors are helpful)
- Darning needle
Pattern: Market Square by Sharyn Anhalt https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/market-square
You'll leave with a beautiful handmade market bag, a few new knitting skills, and at least three people asking, "Wait... you made that?" Which is one of the best parts of knitting anyway.
We ask that you purchase your yarn at Shrimp and Knits for the Knit Along.
