Let’s Knit a Saroyan Shawl

Saturday, April 17, 11am – 12:30pm
Common Threads Yarn Shop, High Point, NC
$15

The Saroyan Shawl (named after a character on the TV show “Bones”) is a perfect quick knit for Spring. It was designed by Liz Abinante and is available for free on www.feministy.com.  The shawl can be knit using any weight of yarn you choose, but is perfect in a lightweight silk or bamboo blend. In this class, Mandy will help you choose a yarn and take a look at the shawl construction. If you are new to working from charts, the lace chart in this pattern is a perfect place to start! After class you’ll be well on your way to making a perfect Spring accessory!

Materials: Yarn of your choice for shawl and appropriate needles. You must also download a copy of the Saroyan pattern: http://feministy.com/blog/saroyan/

To sign up, please call or visit Common Threads Yarn Shop. (336) 889-8650.
