This workshop will be led by co-instructors Kecia Kubota and Danni Supplee, both seasoned Cocoknits Sweater Method knitters. And we will be joined by “virtual Julie” at times thanks to her helpful video series. Taught over two, four-hour sessions, January 31 & February 1 from 10am-2pm, this format will allow time to practice techniques and work on the sweater between classes.

We will meet at the Camp Fire Central Oregon offices, located in the Sunlight Solar building: 150 NE Hawthorne Ave., in Bend - just down the street from the shop in the Bend Central District. Coffee, tea and nibbles will be provided. We will take a short break for lunch. Please either bring a brown bag lunch, or take a quick visit to one of the food carts at the Pine Shed, just next door. Early sign-up is suggested as there are a limited number of seats available for the class.

All participants in the workshop should have previously completed at least one sweater. To prepare for the workshop, purchase the Cocoknits Sweater Workshop book. We will be working from the pattern for Emma, which can be knit in many different weights of yarn. Choose yarn and circular needles to match the pattern gauge. 

Cocoknits stitch markers will be provided and are yours to keep! 

Materials:

• Book: Cocoknits Sweater Workshop by Julie Weisenberger
• Yarn in yardage required to knit your size at the stated gauge. Our sample will be knit in Malabrigo Chunky.

• DPNs or small-circumference circular needle in US 0-3 (2-3.5mm) range for picking up stitches

A knitter herself, the creator of Just a Little Charm, Jen Pesko, has stamped some knit and crochet themed Copper Charm Keychains for us! In 2011, Jen was in search for reclaimed metal. She was able to discover copper flashing from a building demolished in downtown Bend, OR. The building housed the Bend Bulletin newspaper since 1965.  Just A Little Charm now incorporates other salvaged materials with the original copper. 

Each Just a Little Charm product is handmade, therefore final products might look slightly different than the product image. Chain not included.

Owner and primary dyer, Jean, doesn't hold back on playing around with colors. Her unique colorways range from tonal neons, earthy variegated, and thrilling speckles! And in a nod to the rockers of the 80s and 90s, they are named after her favorite songs. It's a Gen X trip down Memory Lane!

Juni + Si, pronounced Ju-Knee and Sigh, is named after the owner's grandchildren Juniper and Silas. Dyed out of Snoqualmie, Washington, Jean wants to acknowledge and honor the native people who have heavily contributed to the art of dyeing. 

As with all hand-dyed yarns, Juni + Si are dyed in small lots. Color, tonality and speckle amounts may vary from skein to skein, lot to lot and monitor to monitor.
