SUMMARY:Knitting the Lakeshore: Fiber Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Sleeping Bear Forever (formerly Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear) is excited to announce the launch of Sleeping Bear Folk & Field School\, a new series of immersive educational experiences designed to help people discover\, preserve\, and engage with the rich heritage and natural landscapes of the Sleeping Bear Dunes region.  \nGather around for an evening of fiber\, conversation\, and discovery. Through hands-on swatching\, knitted samples\, and guided discussion\, we’ll explore the many ways makers evaluate yarn—from durability and warmth to softness\, drape\, sustainability\, and simple joy. Rather than a deep dive into individual breeds\, this workshop offers a broad introduction to the factors that influence our fiber choices\, including fiber content\, yarn construction\, care requirements\, and intended use. Expect a welcoming atmosphere where curiosity is encouraged and every yarn has something to teach.

SUMMARY:Knitting the Lakeshore: Mosaic Knitting Basics
DESCRIPTION:A shawl is what we consider a foundation piece\, both in terms of wardrobe and within your knitting repertoire. We’re introducing a basic framework here—the ubiquitous triangle shape achieved by increasing at the edges—and showing you one way it looks fabulous (with a verrrrrry special handspun) in a simple-to-work slip-stitch pattern that reminds us of beach stones. Not sure about the handspun yarn? You’ll achieve an entirely different look with a combination of handpainted yarn + solid or two solids/tonals for more of a checkerboard look. Never worked two colors before? Don’t fret–this is an easy-to-remember slip-stitch pattern that yields impressive results.  \nBasic knitting experience required.
