Latvian Fingerless Mitts

10 - 11:30AM
Difficulty
Level: Intermediate
Instructor: Leslie Matheson
Some of the beautiful knitting methods of Latvia will be studied in this class. Knit one of a pair of fingerless mitts to learn techniques which can be applied to mitten cuffs, sock tops or sleeves: a scalloped cuff, the herringbone braid, and many subtle and beautiful variations of the half-braid. A choice of 2-, 3-, or 4-color traditional motifs is incorporated in the main part of the mitt as well as the gussetless thumb and a picot edge at the end. Additional techniques to be discussed include knitting with 2 yarns in the right hand, 2 yarns in the left hand, or a yarn in each hand, as well as knitting with 3 or 4 colors.

Who doesn’t love mittens? In this class you will complete the first mitten of a pair. Any size is fine but we will use worsted weight yarn.

The Fibonacci sequence was introduced by a medieval mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci."In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence:

By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. Fibonacci numbers are often found in nature in the flowers of a petal, the buds on a branch, the swirls on a pinecone. We will explore how to use these numbers to create striping sequences that are pleasing to the eye. Watch this video to fully appreciate the majic of Fibonacci:
