Retreat 2010 Gauge and Texture
Gauge and Texture
Gauge is always important to ensure that your project is the size you anticipated it would be - or at least that's what you will here from everyone who works with you at K2TOG! What is gauge and how do different textures change the gauge?
As a group we will do several exercises that will explain what gauge is, how it's measured, and how it changes with different needles and simple stitch patterns. Along the way, we'll explore knit-purl stitch textures for a little more fun.
Retreat 2010 First Lace Project
First Lace Project
Lace seems really complicated, especially if you try reading a pattern full of k2tog's, ssk's and yo's. Just what is a yo, anyway?
We will learn how to use k2tog, ssk and yo to create a beautiful lace scarf or shawl.
Retreat 2010 Cables for Beginners
Cables for Beginners
Cables are one of the surprises of knitting.
Retreat 2010 Traveling Cables
Traveling Cables
The standard way we see cables is in vertical lines marching straight up a garment. These look great and are fun to make but why must we stay in a straight line? I prefer to have the freedom to go anywhere I want!
We will learn how to let cables travel all over our project, including hiding shaping in the cables (otherwise known as full fashion shaping). We'll do this by working on an envelope handbag with an angled closure.
Retreat 2010 Lots of Bobbles
Bobbles, Bobbles Everywhere and lots of fun to make!
Bobbles are those fun and funky things that stick out of your knitting and give great three dimensional texture to your project.

Retreat 2010 Infinite Cables
Infinite Cables
Learn to create cables that begin out of nowhere and end before the top of the fabric. These cables, also called ring cables and closed-ring cables, are unusual and make striking designs. This style of cable has been popularized by Elsebeth Lavold in recent years.
