SUMMARY:Nostalgia Stitch Along
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating the early aughts with a springtime SAL! We’ve been inspired by seeing the trends loop back to the era of whimsical stitching and big lace shawls. Make yourself a lace accessory as simple or as complex as you desire. We have a selection of patterns below at various levels\, from beginner to advanced. Feel free to stitch up something easy breezy\, or challenge yourself to go wherever the whimsy takes you. \nWe’ll have in-person support at some of our Stitch in Space gatherings\, so be on the lookout for those dates as well. You can read more and check out our pattern recommendations on our Captain’s Log.  Share your progress and cheer your fellow stitchers on by tagging us on socials with #fsnostalgia26! \nIf you buy your project yarn from us\, let us know that you are jumping into our Nostalgia SAL\, and we will give you a custom fibre space x Katrinkles 2″ to help you keep track of your pattern! \n

In this class\, you will learn how something as simple as slipping stitches can create beautiful designs. We’ll discuss reading a mosaic chart\, fixing mistakes\, reading your knitting\, and a little color theory. Choose from four patterns ranging from adventurous beginner to advanced\, and let’s play with color! \nTwo 2-hour sessions meeting weekly on same day of the week \nFor each pattern\, be sure to choose colors with high contrast. This will make learning the skill much easier! We recommend choosing at least one color to be solid or semi-solid. This could be either your Main Color or your Contrast Color! However\, if both your colors are variegated\, things will get muddy\, and it will be harder to read your knitting. If you are unsure if your colors have enough contrast\, take a photo of them together in black and white; if there is enough contrast\, one will appear much darker. You can also stop by the shop\, and someone will be able to help you out.  \n  \nBeginner: Issa Cowl\n© Spincycle Yarns 2017\nSkills needed:\n\nKnitting and purling in the round\n\nMaterials:\n\nSport weight yarn in the following amounts.
