I took a free class today at a library branch with a great knitter.
We learned how to make Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket. It's very cool - you just knit, using double decreases and "make ones" and when it's finished, you fold and suddenly it's a little sweater. Of course I got about 10 rows done. We also talked about the Fibonacci number sequence (to use it in stripes) and the color wheel. And Kaffe Fassett's Magic Ball (if that's what it called) that you create out of your leftovers. She had a little pink/violet jacket that she made out of leftover yarn all joined together. I also learned of 2 evening knitting groups at different library branches - I may be doing that! Alison |

Oooh, I am so envious. I wish our library would do that.

That sounds really interesting Alison, wish I could have gone along
too. Could you please tell me a little more about this Fibonacci color wheel? I don't rmember ever hearing about it before. Kaffe Fassett is great, I have a couple of his books. He is really great with textures, colors and patterns, isn't he? Marie and the cats Alison wrote: I took a free class today at a library branch with a great knitter.

Isn't that a cute little sweater? I have done several of them. Very popular, they are. Higs, Katherine |

I did a weekend workshop with Kaffe Fassett several years ago.
It was a fantastic weekend and would repeat it if I could. You can see the sample I knitted under "other crafts" on my web site. http://www.allcrafts.demon.co.uk Shirley In message . com, " writes That sounds really interesting Alison, wish I could have gone along too.

Sounds fun....we have a monthly knit meet at our local Library.....we have
yarn swaps and mostly bring stuff we are working on or new projects we need help with. I would love to find a group that meets weekly but the closest ones are about 20 miles from me.

I was a little unclear, Marie. The Fibonacci numbers are a numerical
sequence produced by addition. Here's the first few: 1 1+1=2 2+1=3 3+2=5 5+3=8 So you could make your stripes 1 row, the next time you changed color you could do 2 rows, then 3, then 5, etc. It's a very pleasing look but not all uniform or matching. The color wheel was just looking at colors that are opposite on the wheel - like red-orange and blue-green - and seeing how they look in garments (the teacher had a sweater in these colors and it was gorgeous.) I use the Fib numbers for beading! Alison On 30 Sep 2006 19:00:50 -0700, " wrote: That sounds really interesting Alison, wish I could have gone along too.

She's started these knitting groups (on her own time) and did the work to get the teacher in for a program. So many of these programs, crafts, etc. start with one person with a goal, mission, etc. I feel quite inspired and am thinking about starting a knitting group at the large central library where I work!

Now, if Dan Brown had been really smart, he'd've put in not only those
Fibonacci numbers, but some clues in striped clothing for the movie! Alison wrote: I was a little unclear, Marie. The Fibonacci numbers are a numerical sequence produced by addition.
