Ann Weaver Workshop - Mixology

Would you like to feel more confident about your color choices before you start a project? In this workshop, Ann Weaver will show you how to figure out what kinds of colors a project needs and how to pick out a palette you will love, even after all the knitting is done. Please join us!

Ann Weaver Mixology Workshop - Modular Mitts
Friday, September 19th
7:00 - 10:00pm
Cost: $75

Modular Mitts, designed by Ann Weaver, is a perfect opportunity to experiment with color by using small amounts of yarn and simple techniques. Inspired by the color studies done by Johannes Itten and his
students at the Bauhaus school, these mitts are designed to showcase the interactions among colors. The goals of this workshop are to expand the knitter’s color vocabulary and confidence in color combination choices and to teach modular knitting techniques like picking up and knitting stitches.

Skills needed: ability to cast on, knit garter stitch comfortably and bind off are required.

Since it is a Friday night, Ann said she would show us how to make a great cocktail. Did you know she is also a bartender?

Ann Weaver has created things her whole life. She learned to knit when she was seven, learned to read a pattern at 22 and started sharing her designs through various forms of publication in 2007. Since graduating from New York University with majors in Art and English, Ann has worked as a deli associate, Harvard graduate student in Assyriology, Macy’s cosmetics counter manager, teaching fellow, assistant curator, state bureaucrat, temp, Akkadian instructor, medical secretary, assistant office manager, barback, commercial bread baker, and proofreader, among other things. She is always looking for a new adventure.

Ann’s design work reflects this quest for adventure; while retaining a clean, wearable aesthetic, Weaverknits designs experiment with asymmetry, unusual color and yarn combinations, and androgyny.

Here is a look at her other designs on Ravelry.
