Join expert knitter Susan Dewey at the Wendell Gilley Museum on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for this advanced class in knitting. Participants in this workshop will explore the structure of knitting and ponder the questions:
*How are stitches structured?
*What is your style of knitting?
*Why the heck do we have to swatch?
*How does the yarn structure affect knitting?
*What do charts bring to the knitting game?
Participants will produce a knitted piece that can be sewn up the sides to make a little bag, or made longer to be leg or arm warmers, or maybe a cowl.

Students should bring:
*Questions.
*A piece of their own knitting to examine.
*DK or worsted weight yarn. Wool is better, but whatever you prefer to use is fine. Bring a couple of colors.
*Needles of the appropriate size for your yarn, probably US #6, #7, or #8. You can work with circular or straight needles.
