Homework Due October 15

For our October 15 meeting we will be having a blocking and finishing workshop presented by Jolene from Cloverhill Yarn Shop. So it only seems appropriate since it is still September that there's homework to do before the class.

Please make 2 swatches at 17sts and 24rows (4"X4") = gauge in the pattern. (st st). Pattern calls for size US6 needles.

• on one swatch on the left hand side decrease 1 st every row 12 times (for example:knit to 4 sts are left; then k2tog; k2). BO 2 st every WS row 4 times. BO.

• on the other swatch knit until even with first swatch.

Bring these materials: yarn, needles, darning needle, snips, and pattern.

If you have knit the sweater already but don't know how to block (she will go over this), then please do the swatches so that you will have something to sew together. If the sweater is blocked, then bring the blocked pieces for sewing.
