SUMMARY:The Loom Shed Behind the Pattern Online Workshops with Emma Vining
DESCRIPTION:The Loom Shed x Emma Vining: Behind The Pattern Workshops and KAL 2024 \nJoin us to knit designer Emma Vining’s Ridge and Furrow Shawl and discover the design processes behind the pattern. \nThe Ridge and Furrow pattern will initially be available exclusively to participants of The Loom Shed KAL. After the final session\, the pattern will be available for general purchase through Emma’s Designer Stores on Ravelry and Payhip and Chilton Grounds Farm. \nOver four 1 hour Zoom sessions\, you will learn the techniques required to knit the Ridge and Furrow shawl\, using either the recommended yarn or yarn from your stash. Participants are invited to knit along as part of a supportive\, friendly online group\, or to knit the shawl at their own pace if preferred. \nThe four session dates are 15th January 2024\, 29th January 2024\, 19th February 2024 and 4th March 2024. \nAt each Zoom session\, Emma will introduce a section of the Ridge and Furrow shawl and describe an aspect of the shawl design. These short talks will cover design inspiration\, colour choices\, shawl shaping and finishing. The remainder of each session will include a demonstration of the relevant knitting techniques and a group discussion\, with an opportunity to share progress and ask questions. A recording of each session will also be made available. \nAbout the Ridge and Furrow Shawl Pattern \nThe Ridge and Furrow shawl is inspired by a fascinating feature of the landscape at Chilton Grounds Farm. Medieval farming practices required the use of oxen to pull heavy ploughs over the fields. The resulting ridges and furrows are still visible today. The end of each furrow has a distinctive ‘reverse S’ shape due to the way the plough was turned before the neighbouring furrow was ploughed. The shawl pattern combines an eyelet reverse ’S’ pattern with a series of knitted ridges and furrows\, representing the ancient and modern landscapes. \nRidge and Furrow Shawl Emma Vining \nChilton Grounds Farm \nThe shawl is knitted as two long right-angled triangles\, the first of which is increased to the centre point. The second triangle is decreased by the same number of stitches to match the first. The stitch pattern is reversed at the mid-point\, creating a mirror-imaged design. The shawl is knitted with 2 x 100g skeins of Chilton Grounds Farm 4ply Wensleydale Lambswool. This soft and luxurious hand-washed yarn is from the farm’s own flock of Wensleydale sheep. The beautiful shades are inspired and named after plants found on the farm\, and the yarn is spun and hand-dyed by the Border Mill. Find out more about the Chilton Wensleydale sheep behind the yarn here.
