Sylvaine Mittalong
Sylvaine Mittalong
When:
September 12 – 26, 2024
What:
Sylvaine is a fingerless mitt pattern that will give you experience with small circumference knitting, knitting a thumb gusset, and shaping. The mitts are seamless, and will knit up pretty quickly once you get the hang of it. Experience with knitting is required, and the rest you will learn in the along.
Yarn:
We have many yarn recommendations, including Woolstok, Vintage, Ultra Alpaca, Alegria Grande, Sonoma, and Simply Spectacular DK. Solids or variegated yarns will both work nicely! We recommend a wool or wool blend due to its warmth and springiness. Some of these are superwash and some hand wash, so be sure to take that into account before choosing.
Cost:
Since this is going to be more informative and have more teaching moments than other alongs, there will be a small fee of $10 to join. Also, as with all classes and alongs, you must purchase your yarn from us specifically for this KAL in order to join.
Meetings:
We will meet two times for us to help you with any questions or problems you may be having! 4p-6p:
Thu, Sep 12 – cast on party
Thu, Sep 26 – tackle the thumb gusset and talk about finishing
We will post any tips we come across in our Facebook Group “Threadbender Yarn Shop –Alongs”. And we encourage everyone to share pictures and questions.
