1 | 12:00pm-4:00pm | Harriman Hall-Rear | Knitting with Assigned Pooling: An Amanita Muscaria Shawl class info “Assigned Pooling” is a knitting technique to manage the color changes in hand-dyed yarn. The Amanita Muscaria Shawl is crescent-shaped. It is small, and can be worn as a shawl or a scarf. It requires 100 grams / 400 yards of sock-weight yarn. The yarn for this shawl is hand-dyed, one skein at a time, using acid dye from Dharma Trading Company. One quarter of the skein is dyed red with white stripes. The rest is dyed in forest shades of green and brown. The red and white section becomes little patches of mushrooms with this technique. They are scattered on a forest floor, knitted in the greens and browns. In this class, I’ll teach you how to read an “Assigned Pooling” pattern. Then we’ll cast on and you’ll start knitting the shawl. I provide the yarn. You bring US 5, circular knitting needles that are 30 inches long, plus or minus an inch or two. You’ll leave with a good start on your shawl and the skills you need to complete it. This is not a beginning knitting class. You must be proficient at knitting and purling. Other useful skills are yarn over, picking up stitches and knitting and purling several stitches together. I can teach you these, but you must be a proficient knitter/purler to be successful in this class. I will have a few circular knitting needles available for purchase for $5.00 if you don’t have them. Class limit: 10 |

Remember that almost any day in the forest and woods hunting/searching for mushrooms is better than almost any day stuck inside with electronics. Jill will discuss habitat for a variety of mushrooms. Psychedelic mushrooms are not included in this talk (it’s a different kind of tuning in). |

16 | 9:00am-12:00pm | Harriman Hall-Rear | Weave Yorkshire Buttons with Mushroom Dyed Yarn class info Despite the name, Yorkshire buttons didn’t really come from Yorkshire, England, and there is no evidence of a historic button making industry there. First woven in the 1980s using cardboard looms, they’re not even particularly historic like their cousin the Dorset button. Still, they are beautiful, versatile, and most of all, really fun to make. Weaving a Yorkshire button is fine work, akin to twining with waxed Irish linen and embroidery. If you love those crafts, you’ll love making Yorkshire buttons! In this class you’ll receive a set of Yorkshire button looms of various sizes, inspired by Gina B Silkworks, in a little zipper pouch, enough mushroom-dyed yarn to master the craft, needles, and a few button cards on which to display your buttons. We’ll make the basic Yorkshire button first, then move on to as many variations as we have time for. Registration Required. Class limit: 10 |

Sought after by the world's elite for centuries and fought over in the wildlands by foraging beasts. Ever wonder how truffles got to be this way, or how they are collected and cultivated in today's mechanical farming industries? How can these fungi be used to reforest the lands cleared by the timber industry, or enhance the propagation efforts of a christmas tree farmer, or a food forest farmer - hazelnuts, pecans and chestnuts? Miss Jarvis will answer all of these questions and more in her discussion of Truffles. |
