#308  Amy Tyler – Circles and Polygons:
 Knitting Petoskey Stone Medallions   Full day  Friday 9am-4pm  Bldg 9 South $100

Skill level: Intermediate

Workshop Description: In this workshop we will knit a medallion that was inspired by the 
state stone of Michigan, the Petoskey stone. The medallions are flat circles, knitted from the center out. When a series of these medallions are crocheted together, you can change the circular shape to 4-, 5-, 6-, or more-sided pieces. We will cover a circular crochet cast-on, how to knit circularly with 2 circular needles, 2-stitch cable patterns, and crocheting medallions together. With this approach, you can make scarves, afghans, hats, pillows, and more. Participants should be comfortable with knit, purl, cast on, bind off, increases.

Participants should bring: 100 yards or so of yarn (I suggest worsted weight, preferably wool, one or more colors), two circular knitting needles of the same size (but of different lengths) appropriate for the yarn, a crochet hook similar in size to the needles, and a darning needle. The instructor will provide samples for examination, additional yarns, a notebook with handouts including written instructions for two versions of the Petoskey stone medallion, and sundry supplies.

Material Fee: $20 Covers:  samples for examination, additional yarns, notebook with handouts including written instructions for 2 versions of the Petoskey stone medallion, sundry supplies
