00:00:05,381 --> 00:00:06,492
- Hi, I'm Michelle Muska,

3
00:00:06,492 --> 00:00:08,528
and I consider myself a fiber artist.

4
00:00:08,528 --> 00:00:11,599
I'm the author of the new book Quilting the New Classics.

5
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:14,524
I teach knitting, crochet, loom knitting,

6
00:00:14,524 --> 00:00:16,100
^which we're going to be talking about today.

7
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:18,413
^So loom knitting is a great way to take a break

8
00:00:18,413 --> 00:00:20,850
from traditional knitting, and even crochet,

9
00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:22,016
and to try a new craft.

10
00:00:22,016 --> 00:00:24,321
Sometimes the charts and the directions

11
00:00:24,321 --> 00:00:26,169
are really complicated.

12
00:00:26,169 --> 00:00:28,931
In this class I'm gonna be teaching you how to make

13
00:00:28,931 --> 00:00:32,848
a rolled brim wool hat with a faux fur pom-pom.

14
00:00:33,890 --> 00:00:38,048
I'm gonna show you step-by-step how to do an e-wrap cast on,

15
00:00:38,048 --> 00:00:41,631
how to bind off, and how to make a pom-pom.

16
00:00:42,356 --> 00:00:44,953
So for me, loom knitting is all about the yarn.

17
00:00:44,953 --> 00:00:46,518
And I chose this really beautiful

18
00:00:46,518 --> 00:00:49,268
hand-dyed Malabrigo from Uruguay.

19
00:00:50,313 --> 00:00:51,923
When you choose a very special yarn,

20
00:00:51,923 --> 00:00:55,173
you can make some really lovely things.
