Knitting class: “Mittens in the Newfoundland Tradition”This class introduces the Newfoundland maritime traditions of knitting sturdy, two-color, stranded mittens. In Newfoundland, stranded knitting is generally called, “double knitted” or “double knitting” and has a rich infusion of Nordic and Celtic design. Newfoundland (and Labrador) mittens are characterized by two distinct patterns - the primary design on the hand back, and the traditional “salt and pepper” of the palm and thumb, The class will instruct in how to determine size, knitted gauge, adapting the pattern for multiple sizes, creating a distinctive thumb gore, and options for finger tip decreases and finishing.
