How do I join a Knit Along?

Anyone can join our Knit Alongs simply by knitting along using the instructions on this page as they are posted. I have also opened a yahoo group for those knitters who wish to chat as they knit along. Schoolhouse Press will not moderate the group or answer questions through it but participants can feel free to use it as a place to discuss knitting and the topic of each Knit Along.

The Yahoo chat group is private and cannot be accessed through the Yahoo directory, but anyone can join from this page. Join Knit Along Chat! (You'll need to be a yahoo member prior to joining this group.)

Do you have questions for our instructor? Answer my question! Please make sure you let us know your question pertains to the Knit Along.

Knitting In Progress (September 2008):

Two Socks on Two Circulars (and One Sock on Two Circulars) with Joyce Williams

Our next Knit Along will begin in September 2008 with Joyce Williams, author of Latvian Dreams and Armenian Knitting. Joyce is knitting two pairs (not at the same time) of comfortable and durable socks for trekking in Peru in November. She'll give us instructions for both; one pair using Guernsey wool, the other Satakieli. However, gauge does not have to be determined in advance and any yarn suitable for socks may be used. We'll learn Joyce's innovative sock knitting techniques, developed by her in the early 1990s, including a variation on Turkish or Eastern European Cast On and a short row heel. Two socks will be knit from the toe up at one time on two circular needles with several options for the tops provided as we knit. And, Joyce will explain how to knit one sock at a time, on two circulars, as well for those knitters who have not previously knit socks on circulars.

Materials: Guernsey Wool , or Satakieli Wool ; click product name to go to order page.
