Getaway with Ann Weaver: Shawls from the Inside Out
Saturday, April 11
10:00am - 3:00pm
Cost: $125
We have an incredible day planned for you. We want you to feel like you've spent the day at a spa or a luxury resort, so we are taking care with every detail. The setting is beautiful, the food delicious, and the knitting will be full of laughter and inspiration.
Everyone will start with a square shawl, creating a customized shape, textures, and color combination. For example, Ann's mom (pictured above) is modeling a square shawl Traffic Furniture. Then, those that are interested can start a circular shawl based on a workbook Ann created. We will have lots of yarn on site to help you design your shawl based on what you learn about color and texture and a consult with Ann, if you like.
Ann will also have many, many samples on hand to inpsire you.
All we need now, is a fun loving group of knitters. Please join us.
If you are coming from out of town, please consider spending the night at the Hilton Garden Inn, one block from the Clarus Center. Then on Sunday, you can stop by String Theory on your way back home.
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.
