Join us for our fifth fabulous Emma Vining knit-a-long-workshop this time exploring openwork knitting.
This online course happens from 7 pm to 8 pm on these dates: 11th January, 25th January, 8th February, 22nd February, 8th March 2027. You’ll be emailed a Zoom link before each workshop.
We’ll knit a Gentle Rain Shawl or Scarf together over five one-hour online sessions, exploring multiple openwork techniques and building up a stitch library of openwork patterns. Push your knitting knowledge and design skills with Emma’s expert guidance and a group of like-minded enthusiastic knitters.
We look forward to this workshop every year and it gets us through the long winter nights after Christmas and when we finish the daylight hours are longer. Emma’s patterns are always addictive and thoroughly enjoyable and she gives us food for thought each week.
What you’ll knit: The Gentle Rain Shawl or Scarf.
The Gentle Rain Shawl is inspired by the beautiful poems “A Drop fell On The Apple Tree and “Like Rain It Sounded Till It Curved” written by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886). You will receive the pattern for the bias-knit triangle shawl before the first session. Instructions for a rectangular swatch, which can be extended into a scarf, will also be provided.
The shawl is knitted with a progressive eyelet and texture pattern, separated by bands of garter stitch. Optional new openwork stitch patterns will be introduced during the sessions with charted and written instructions provided. However, you are welcome to knit the original shawl pattern if you prefer.
There is no obligation to buy any yarn or new equipment as you may choose the stash busting option, but yarn recommendations will be given on booking. However there are many options to choose from:
A combination of 4ply merino and Lace weight silk and alpaca
or Mini Skein/ Stash Busting Option: Use 6 x 80m 20g 4ply mini-skeins
DK Option: Use 10 x 45m 20g DK mini-skeins or 2 x 225m 100g DK Full-Size Skeins
4ply Small Shawl Option: Use 1 x 400m 100g 4ply Full-Size Skein, totalling 400m.
