Stranded Knitting

Today has been a whole day of knitting in the workshop. We have been doing stranded knitting with a yarn in each hand, and steeking, and some people have been continuing with their lace from yesterday.

These are two variations of the coffee pot cover Fiona has designed. It is the same pattern but one uses the multicolour yarn for the background and the other for the foreground.

For those who preferred to start on something a little smaller, Fiona also designed some mug hugs for people to try.

And a beret pattern, for those who wanted to make something with shaping in, but without the steeks. These three berets are from the same pattern, but with different yarns. The first two have been blocked over plates, but the third left to dry to its unstretched shape, for if you prefer a more casual look.

I am making progress with my rather fluorescent coffee pot cover:

And I have done a bit more of my lace.

Everybody has been doing really well, and learning lots.
