SUMMARY:Origami Knitting Workshop with Olga Buraya-Kefelian
DESCRIPTION:If you are familiar with 3D knitwear\, you know there are various methods of achieving texture in hand knitting. In this class\, we will dig deeper into combining several of these methods to achieve the unachievable: using knitting techniques that offer elasticity and malleability to create structured\, crisp lines reminiscent of the ancient art of paper folding or other geometric iterations. \nStudents can choose to swatch only\, or to put their newfound knowledge to practice and cast on either the YABANE COWL or COMPLEAT COWL patterns. \nSkills needed\n\nHow to knit and purl\nCasting on and binding off\nBasic increasing and decreasing\n\nSkills learned\n\nPrinciples of 3D knitwear on which ORIGAMI knitting is based.\nExplore the importance of fibers and yarns necessary for a successful origami knit.\nMirror decreasing and increasing.\n1/1 cable variations.\nCustomize finished accessory to taste\nSpecifics on the benefits and drawbacks of this unique stitch pattern and the technique.\n\nSizes and Materials\nFor swatching only\n\n200 yards (183 m) of DK- or worsted-weight yarn in non-superwash wool\, in a light or bright color. We recommend De Rerum Natura Gilliatt or Wooldreamers Mota.\nUS#5 (3.75 mm) needles\nUS#6 (4 mm) needles\nUS#7 (4.5 mm) needles\n\n\nFor YABANE COWL\n \nAvailable sizes: Small (Large) \n\n283 (378) yards / 259 (346) meters of any non-superwash worsted weight wool. We recommend De Rerum Natura Gilliatt or Wooldreamers Mota.\nUS#6 (4 mm) circular\, 24-36” (61-91) cm\nUS#7 (4.5 mm) circular\, 24-36” (61-91) cm (for CO and BO only)\nCrochet hook size US G-6 (4 mm)\n11 (15) stitch markers + 1 stitch marker in a different color (BOR) + 1 removable marker or pin\nCable needle (CN) (optional)\nTapestry needle\nCopy of YABANE COWL pattern\n\n\nFor COMPLEAT COWL\n \nAvailable sizes: Small (Large)\, Short (Tall) \n\n380 (480) yards / 347 (438) meters for Short Cowl or 515 (640) yards / 470 (585) meters for Tall Cowl of any non-superwash wool yarn in heavy DK or light worsted weight.
