Beth Brown-Reinsel Workshop - Latvian Fingerless Mitts
The first of two day-long workshops, Beth Brown-Reinsel will be joining us to teach 20 lucky knitters the ins and outs of her beautiful Latvian Fingerless Mitts.
Some of the beautiful knitting methods of Latvia will be studied in this class. Knit one of a pair of fingerless mitts to learn the following techniques which can be applied to mitten cuffs, sock tops or sleeves: a scalloped cuff, the herringbone braid and many subtle and beautiful variations of the half-braid. A choice of two- or three-color traditional motifs is incorporated in the main part of the glove as well as the gussetless thumb and a picot edge at the end.
Additional techniques to be discussed include knitting with two yarns in the right hand, two yarns in the left hand, or a yarn in each hand, as well as knitting with three colors and setting up the knitting for color changes in the braids.
