Gnome Beards & Bobble Noses Workshop by Imagined Landscapes (Sarah Schira)
We learn 6 bobble types so that you can discover your favourite method for use in shawls, sweaters, and gnomes. We then cover a few beard styles that deal with techniques like purposefully dropping stitches and different cast-on methods. Is this a technique class disguised a s a gnome class or a gnome class disguised as a technique class? It's both! So whether you want to learn new knitting techniques or explore gnomes, this class is for you. Class time: 2-3 hours More detail: Bobble types - standard 5-stitch bobble, double increase bobble, i-cord bobble centered 5-st bobble, choked bobble, color-change bobble. Patterns for 4 beard types included in handout, and class covers the Fringe Beard and the Curly Beard at minimum. Students get a handout with complete instructions for 6 bobble methods and 4 beards. Supplies: Small amounts of worsted weight yarn, 10-20 g. It is best if you have more than one ball in case we need to set aside a partially completed beard in order to move on to
