Ann Weaver Workshop - Fixation Hat
Monday, August 3rd
6:30 - 9:00pm
Cost: $75
The Fixation Hat designed by Ann Weaver, is a perfect opportunity to experiment with color by using small amounts of yarn and simple techniques.
In this class, you'll learn:
- how color progression can change the look of the hat
- how to determine the order in which to stripe your colors
- stripe modification options
You'll have the opportunity to create two swatches in two different progressions to see which one you like best. Take advantage of Ann's artistic eye as she consults with you on color choice. Then you'll work on the chevron portion of hat.
By the way, the Fixation Hat makes a great "swatch" for the Monomania cardigan. Ann will have Monamania Cardigans in several sizes for you to try on in case you're inspired to take your stripes to another level.
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.
