| How to Follow a Pattern | 0 | MATERIAL LIST Bring a sewing machine you are comfortable using. From a fabric store, you will need to purchase the following unless you have cloth, scissors and thread at home you want to use: • 0.7 meter of cotton, canvas, denim or synthetic leather • O.4 metre lining material (cotton or lining) • 1 metre of Buckram interfacing 51cm wide • 1 metre of sew-in interfacing 46-51 cm wide • Matching thread • Sewing carbon and wheel, if you have it If you wish to attend the class but haven’t purchased the required materials, bring your machine and come anyways. I will have extra fabrics and thread on hand that can be purchased on the day. I strongly suggest choosing fabric that isn’t plaid, striped or one-directional to avoid the need to match up the designs, and to limit the amount of fabric needed. Extra fabric will be required for matching. |
| Introduction to Weaving: Weave your First Scarf | $40 (includes loom rental, handout, and yarn) | All included in Kit Fee |
| Knitting Mittens | $10 | Bring a set of four double pointed needles, size 4mm, and a large safety pin. Yarn and pattern will be provided. |
| Knitting Socks from the Toes Up | $0 | Tools and Materials: To do the classic toe up sock, you must use a metal flexible circular needle with smooth joins that is at least 40 inches (100 centimetres) long. Old aluminum circular needles with stiff metal or plastic wires will only be a source of frustration. Bamboo or wood needles will not allow the yarn to slide easily. My favourite sock needle is made by Addi, size 2.25 mm. Check the information on the band of the yarn to make sure that you are matching yarn weight to your needle size. Uptown Yarns in Courtenay and the Village Yarn Shoppe in Comox carry or will order needles and sock yarns. Online order from Vancouver Island businesses: needlenart.com (formerly in Campbell River) carries both Addi Turbo and Addi Rocket needles, while woolandwaves.com has ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular needles. Addendum: Easy option. For those who prefer to knit socks on five double pointed needles, that option will be presented at the workshop. Instead of a figure eight cast-on using the long circular needle, this option is to knit a short tab, pick up stitches on four sides, and knit up the foot. Four needles are not enough as five are needed for this option. |

| Rag Rug | $5 | Supply List Wooden tool supplied by instructor for $5 Fabric. Woven cotton in a light to medium weight. Denim or heavy wools do not work well. Strips are 1” wide. The length can vary, but should be at least 25” long to avoid constant stopping to join strips. If using new fabrics, the typical width of 42” is ideal. Cutting the strips with scissors or rotary cutter is preferable to tearing. Feel free to use whatever colour scheme you’d like. I suggest starting with 20-30 strips. Scissors |
