Last but certainly not least, our final class for the fall schedule is here: Selbu Mittens with Katie

Learn how to knit colorwork and use the magic loop method while making these classic mittens. You’ll learn two-color stranded colorwork, how to read colorwork charts, mitten shaping, and knitting a thumb. Katie will also share the history of Selbu mittens and the meaning behind some of their traditional motifs.

I’m really looking forward to this class! It’s a great next step for knitters who are comfortable knitting in the round and ready to build their skills.

Next 2 for our fall and winter class lineup

First up is our brand-new Siska Beanie Workshop. This is a great beginner class if you know how to knit and purl and are ready for the next step. Learn how to do a long tail cast on, join your work in the round, and knit your very own beanie!

And back by popular demand: our Sophie Scarf Class. These little scarves are such a fun project and a great way to learn how to increase, decrease, and work an i-cord edge. Plus, they make wonderful handmade Christmas gifts!

Next up for our staff introductions is Katie!

Katie can both knit and crochet, and she’s our resident “colorwork queen.” She teaches many of our crochet classes and is always happy to help troubleshoot a project or talk through a technique.

What’s always in your project bag?
“My fish pouch with all my notions, plus a loose measuring tape that never makes it back into the pouch.”

What’s your best knitting or crochet tip?
“Don’t be afraid to rip out your work! If the finished project is going to be something you hate or it’s not functional, it’s worth the extra time to make it right.”

What’s your favorite local spot in Morro Bay?
“For food, Shine and Dockside. For relaxing, I love sitting on the bay watching the otters and seals. I could watch them forever!”

What’s your favorite comfort movie or TV show? “Knives Out.”

Knit with only neutrals or only bright colors?
“Neutrals, because they’re more wearable, but I’d miss my bright options a lot.”

Only knit sweaters or only knit socks?
“Sweaters. No contest.”

Bamboo or metal needles?
“Metal needles all the way!”

Katie is wearing her Halibut sweater, designed by Caitlin Hunter, knit in Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn.

New brand in the shop: Farmer’s Daughter Fibers

Farmer’s Daughter Fibers is a family-run, hand-dyed yarn company based in Great Falls, Montana. Their yarns are inspired by Montana, Western heritage, and a love of beautiful color. I’m so happy to be able to share their yarns with you all. We brought in two of their beautiful bases: Foxy Lady and Oh Dang!

Both bases are incredibly soft, and the colors are wonderful. They’re perfect for sweaters, shawls, and anything you want to make a little extra special.

Foxy Lady is a soft, silky single-ply blend of 70% superwash merino and 30% silk.

Oh Dang is a fluffy blend of 74% Suri alpaca and 26% silk. Oh Dang is especially lovely if you want a little halo without using mohair. And of course, they’re wonderful held together!

Next up is the Lakes Crew Cardigan. The pattern was written for Saona held double, and Ozetta’s sample sweater is made in the color Ozetta.

You can also use Knitting for Olive Merino held double, or one strand of Saona with one Merino. Two strands held together equal a worsted weight, so you can also use Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino or another worsted weight yarn for this project.

I’ve been really into marling lately, so I wanted to show some fun combinations. Since this sweater is knit with two strands held together, it’s the perfect opportunity to play around with color!

Here are a few combinations we put together:

Knitting for Olive Merino + Saona
Top is Blue Whale + Bottom is 1985

Knitting for Olive Merino + Saona
Top is Dusty Artichoke + Bottom is Groen

Saona + Saona
Top is Sarichef + Bottom is Ozetta

Knitting for Olive Merino + Knitting for Olive Merino
Top is Poppy Blue + Bottom is Ice Blue

Knitting for Olive Merino + Knitting for Olive Merino
Top is Artichoke Purple + Bottom is Bordeaux

These are just a few ideas to get you started. You could go for two similar colors for a subtle marl, or choose contrasting colors for something a little more fun!

Next up are the Great Lakes Pullover and the Lakes Jacket. Both patterns are written for an aran weight yarn held with mohair, so we have a couple of options we think would work really well.

First up is Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Matiz. You can use Matiz on its own or hold it with a mohair. Matiz will give you a more structured sweater with a little more body.

Matiz colors pictured:
First picture is 02

Second picture:
Top is 05
Bottom left is 04
Bottom right is 02

Another option is Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino held with Knitting for Olive Mohair. This combination will give you a softer sweater with a little more drape.

I thought the navy Great Lakes sample was so pretty, so I wanted to show you a navy option here. Both the Heavy Merino and Mohair are shown in the color Navy Blue.
