It’s the perfect technique to add some embellishment to your knitting that is easier than intarsia. The name Roosimine translates to “decorating with roses”, which comes from a style of short stitch embroidery done on the Estonian island of Muhu. Students will knit a small swatch in the round.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSKILL LEVEL: advanced beginner \/ intermediate knitter; students should be comfortable to knit and purl in the round, cast-on, bind -off\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMATERIALS NEEDED:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUS 6 \/ 4mm needles for knitting small circumference (Double pointed needles or circular needles for magic loop)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStitch markers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTapestry \/ darning needle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDK-weight yarn (preferably nothing slippery—think yarn you would use for colourwork) in the following approx. amounts: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- MC (main colour) 20g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-CC1 (contrast colour 1) 10g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- CC2 (contrast colour 2) 10g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMake sure all yarn is easy to pull from both ends of the ball (for working with two strands at a time)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Finnish American Folk School","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46345510420559,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2094\/7031\/files\/AleksByrd-Roosimine-Estonian-inlay-knitting-workshop-swatch-knitting-2-Aleks-Byrd-Designs-square-web.jpg?v=1785768303","url":"https:\/\/shop.finlandiafoundation.org\/products\/online-roosimine-knitting-with-aleks-byrd","provider":"North Wind Books at the Finnish American Heritage Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
