Materials Needed ~ Lace Specialities, for Beginners and Experts Alike!

• Yarn: Bring 3-4 skeins of a yarn you would love to use for a lace shawl. The best weight is a sport or DK, one that will give a Stockinette Stitch gauge of approx. 22 to 24 sts = 4". If you are an experienced knitter, you can, if you prefer, use a fine lace weight: it is up to you! Be sure to wind skeins into balls before you come aboard the ship so we are ready for the first class! Yarn color note: Deborah thinks it would be lovely if everyone brought a sea-blue or sky-blue yarn (or both!)-or a gorgeous "shades-of-blue" dyed yarn! Since the Aegean Sea and sky as our inspiration, it would be fun. We could take a lovely group photo at the end of the cruise, showing our progress, in our blue yarns!
• Tools: Bring a range of needles appropriate for your yarn choice
