Log Cabin Blanket (on May 19)

One 4-hour classes; $25 + tax & supplies

This is my favorite blanket technique.  The garter stitch is simple enough for beginners, so graduates of Celia’s Sunday drop-in class and Knitting Basics are welcome as well as everyone else of course. We’ll discuss the various picking up stitches techniques, various edging options, some color theory for planning out your blanket.

There are two pattern choices, Mason Dixon or Cottage Creations.  We’ll discuss variations on the traditional log cabin pieces, asymmetrical squares, many squares put together or one big one!
