Andrea Wong Will be comming to Calla Lily Yarn and Gifts for some knitting fun.

Andrea Wong teaches the style of Portuguese Knitting!

When: Saturday, March 6th from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM

Cost for the class is $55.00 this includes a boxed lunch. (supplies are extra).

We are only taking the first 15 for the class.

You must pay when you sign up for the class in order to hold your spot.

Since I came to this country in 1991, I have been approached by many knitters who were curious about the way I knit. In addition to the English (or American) and Continental (or German) styles, there are other techniques which include this less-known way of holding the yarn around the neck or around a hook pinned near the shoulder. This style is also popular in Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Peru. A Portuguese lady who immigrated to Brazil taught my mother how to knit this way in 1955 and using the knitting pin. My mother, in turn, taught me how to knit this way when I was only seven years old.

I actually hold the yarn around my knitting pin on my left shoulder, which makes the working yarn easily available, makes tension uniform, and requires fewer movements to knit or purl. This style has an incredible advantage for people who suffer from carpal tunnel or arthritis. According to my students, they discovered that purling this way is much easier and faster than using either the American or German style. Another advantage is that, for blind people who have learned this way, the yarn is always readily available and requires less maneuvering of the needles compared to the other styles.
