A method of infusing a dye into the surface of an article formed of a plastic material comprises contacting the surface with a solution including one or more solvents each aggressive to the plastic material, one or more dyes and one or more substances each capable of plasticizing the plastic material. If the plastic material is polycarbonate, then the aggressive solvent may be one or more chlorinated hydrocarbons. The dye may be a photochromic dye, a cosmetic tinting dye, dyes for absorbing infrared, laser and ultraviolet radiation, or combinations thereof. A wide range of plasticizers has been investigated. The article is contacted by the solution for ten seconds to one minute; and nearly all the infused solvent is then evaporated from the article by heating. The use of one or more plasticizers reduces or eliminates bubbling or hazing of the contacted surface during solvent evaporation. The dyed article comprises a surface layer having a depth of the order of magnitude of 100 microns containing one or more dyes, one or more plasticizers and, likely, a trace amount of the one or more aggressive solvents.

The invention relates to the infusion of dyes into the surface of an article formed of a plastic material using one or more substances each capable of plasticizing the material. More particularly, it relates to treating the surface of an article formed of a plastic material with a solution comprising one or more solvents each aggressive to said material, one or more dyes, and one or more substances capable of plasticizing the material.
Attempts have been made to introduce dyes into articles formed of a plastic material. For optical articles such as lenses, a thermoplastic frequently employed is polycarbonate, which is a condensation product resulting typically from the reaction of bisphenol A derivatives with phosgene. Many dyes degrade at the high molding temperature of polycarbonate. Accordingly it would be advantageous to treat the plastic article after it has been formed.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,657,345 to Gordon utilizes aggressive solvents in combination with various heating steps. However, such surface defects as bubbling, hazing and crazing are caused by retained solvent. U.S. Pat. No. 5,453,100 to Sieloff combines an aggressive solvent with a moderating solvent which acts to dilute and reduce the aggressiveness of the infusing solvent. This approach decreases the volatility of the solvent making it more difficult to drive off, resulting in increased bubble formation at or near the surface of the article. A variant of this approach is to utilize only non-aggressive solvents which reduces solvent penetration and compromises dye density, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,043,637 to Hovey, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,597 to Olson.
Our invention comprises treating the surface of a previously formed article of plastic material with one or more solvents aggressive to the plastic material having one or more dyes dissolved in the solvent and having further dissolved in the solvent one or more substances capable of plasticizing the material. It is preferable that the material have no plasticizer in it prior to formation of the article, since such would reduce the rigidity, strength and the mechanical properties of the formed article. The aggressive solvent enables penetration to depths in excess of 100 microns to achieve excellent dye density. The plasticizer is thought to provide sufficient polymer mobility to allow the solvent to almost completely escape during subsequent heating without causing bubbling, hazing or crazing. The extent of degradation of mechanical surface properties of the plastic article caused by retained plasticizer is negligible. It is the object of our invention to prevent bubbling and hazing of the surface of an article formed of a plastic material into the surface of which has been infused one or more dyes dissolved in one or more solvents each aggressive to the plastic by also dissolving in the solution one or more substances each capable of plasticizing the plastic material.
In the manufacture of optical devices, such as lenses, various dyes may be incorporated therein to affect the optical transmission characteristics. These dyes may include photochromic dyes, cosmetic tinting dyes, infrared absorbing dyes, laser radiation absorbing dyes and ultraviolet absorbing dyes. A combination of dyes may also be employed, for example, an ultraviolet absorbing dye to prevent premature deterioration of a photochromic dye. Suitable photochromic dyes include palatinate purple, sea green, corn yellow and berry red which may be obtained from James Robinson, Ltd. of Huddersfield, United Kingdom.
A solvent aggressive to the plastic and also capable of dissolving the dye and a plasticizer is selected. An aggressive solvent is one which has a solubility parameter δ which, according to the theorem of Hildebrand, is within plus or minus 1 of the solubility parameter of the plastic when measured in (cal/cm3)0.5, Polycarbonate for example has a solubility parameter δ of 9.8 (cal/cm3)0.5, Suitable aggressive solvents for polycarbonate are tetrahydrofuran (C4H6O, δ=9.1) and chlorinated hydrocarbons, for example, chloroform (CHCl3, δ=9.3), methylene chloride (CH2Cl2, δ=9.7) and dichlorobenzene (C6H4Cl2, δ=10.0). The aggressive nature of the solvent allows the dye to penetrate to a sufficient depth of 75 to 150 microns below the surface of the article, enabling good dye density. A combination of aggressive solvents may be used. The use of non-aggressive solvents is disadvantageous because they do not provide sufficient dye penetration and further may be difficult to drive off. Although acetone has a solubility parameter of 9.9, its use should be avoided, since it is too volatile and causes crystallization of polycarbonate. Further, dodecanol-1, having a solubility parameter of 9.8, is not recommended because even higher alcohols are somewhat hydrophilic and tend to absorb water vapor.
Plasticizers are sometimes used during manufacturing to give an otherwise rigid plastic flexibility; but as previously indicated we prefer that the plastic have no plasticizer prior to formation of the article. In the present application, the infused plasticizer provides local surface mobility to the plastic matrix, allowing the deeply penetrating solvent to almost completely evaporate during subsequent heating. Where the plastic is polycarbonate, the plasticizer may be selected from the following table which includes both acid and alcohol moieties.
One or more of these plasticizers may be used in combination. The plasticizers sold under the trademark BENZOFLEX� may be obtained from Velsicol Chemical Corporation of Rosemont, Ill.
The treating solution comprises the aggressive solvent or solvents, typically 1% to 4%, or more, by weight of plasticizer dissolved in the solvent and a conventional quantity of dye dissolved in the solvent. As a general rule, it is preferable to use the minimum concentration of plasticizer necessary to achieve the desired result. The polycarbonate article is contacted with the solution for at least ten seconds, but generally not more than one minute. In the case of a lens, one or both surfaces of the lens may be coated with the solution or the lens may be completely immersed in the solution. In the case of immersion, the article is removed from the solution at a uniform withdrawal rate. The solvent is then evaporated from the surface layer of the article by annealing. In practice, annealing consisted of heating the article from 85� F. to 265� F. in four hours and then cooling the article from 265� F. to 85� F. in one hour. It will be appreciated that the maximum temperature is appreciably less than the glass transition temperature of polycarbonate of 305� F.=152� C.
The resulting dyed article is transparent, having a surface layer with a depth of the order of 75 to 150 microns, which contains the infused dye and plasticizer and, likely, trace amounts of retained solvent, which in larger amounts would cause bubbling, hazing or crazing.
When polycarbonate lenses were contacted with chloroform containing no plasticizer, the lenses became hazy and developed bubbles after annealing.
A lens contacted with chloroform containing 1% of either of the BENZOFLEX� plasticizers had some bubbling and hazing after annealing. Increasing the concentration of plasticizer to 4% provided undetectable bubbling and haze after annealing. The remaining plasticizers caused no haze at 1% concentrations and no bubbling at 4% concentrations. The results of tests appear in the following table. It will be understood that a 4% plasticizer concentration may be achieved by combining any four of the above plasticizers in 1% concentrations each.
Plastics other than polycarbonate would include polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), δ=9.09, and polycarbonate-polyester copolymers (LEXAN), for which the foregoing solvents and plasticizers would be suitable, polystyrene (PS), δ=8.56, for which carbon tetrachloride, δ=8.6, methyl isopropyl ketone, δ=8.5, and propyl propionate, δ=8.5, would be suitable solvents and for which the foregoing phthalate plasticizers would be suitable, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), δ=9.5, for which chlorobenzene, δ=9.5, and chlorostyrene, δ=9.5, would be suitable solvents and for which the foregoing phthalate plasticizers would be suitable. The glass transition temperature of polycarbonate is roughly 152� C., while that of PMMA is 105� C., that of PS is 100� C., and that of PET is 80� C. Of these thermoplastics, polycarbonate is the one for which our invention is especially useful, since for the other thermoplastics, there would be reduced dye degradation at the lower molding temperatures. It will further be understood that the maximum annealing temperature in each instance would be reduced to appreciably less than the glass transition temperature.
It will be seen that we have accomplished the object of our invention. We have prevented bubbling and hazing of the surface of an article formed of a plastic material into which has been infused a dye dissolved in a solvent aggressive to the plastic. This advantageous result is achieved by also dissolving in the solvent one or more substances each capable of plasticizing the material.
It will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of our claims. It is further obvious that various changes may be made in details within the scope of our claims without departing from the spirit of our invention. It is, therefore, to be understood that our invention is not to be limited to the specific details shown and described.

Elliott: Robbie Alomar flip a game-changer
This can't be true. I seem to remember Rich McKinney attempting this once…and ending up in the weeds.

I'm sure it had been done before in moments of sheer desperation, when that was the only way to make the play. And when that's how it happens today, it's a thing of beauty.2. Mash Wilson Posted: August 01, 2011 at 01:45 PM (#3890171)
But no, what Robbie did is the backhand glove flip in the era of Web Gems and endless TV/internet replays. These days, I'd wager most of them are completely unnecessary showboating; instances when the proper pivot and toss would be perfectly fine to turn the DP, and much less likely to result in the ball being tossed into left field.
When a 2B (or SS going into the 2B hole) HAS to make that play and DOES make that play, it's great. I don't want my fielders showing off for the cameras, though. Especially since, as a Brewers fan, my fielders are kinda shitty anyway.
OK, OK, dude, I'll get off your lawn.3. Pasta-diving Jeter (jmac66) Posted: August 01, 2011 at 02:04 PM (#3890186)

sorry--Face threw a slow forkball, not the splitter that's thrown today
How about weight training? Sure someone, some when, lifted a few weights. But that is a major change in the game.5. SoSH U at work Posted: August 01, 2011 at 03:09 PM (#3890242)
In fact just to start a pissing match, I'll say that is the biggest change in the game between 1971 and now.
"I was thinking the other day about changes I'd seen in the game since I started playing," Mike Flanagan said. "The only one I can think of was brought in by Robbie Alomar.
A few bigger changes to the game since Flanagan started playing (or thereabouts) than Robbie Alomar's flip. Some of which may have already been phased out.
Interior chest protector for umpires.
Body armor.
Bounce throw off artificial turf.
Almost exclusive use of the stretch by relief pitchers.
Multiple relief pitchers with specific roles.
I'm fairly certain a similar play was done in the opening credits of Happy Days.7. grumpyyankee Posted: August 01, 2011 at 03:47 PM (#3890273)
There is zero chance Alomar developed this. None. It was the standard method for turns closer to the bag when I was in college, mid-to-late 80's. And if we were doing it, it couldn't have been that new. Basically the 2B was taught 2 methods, one where the right foot drops back as the ball is fielded allowing the hips and shoulders to face the bag for a good throw, or the backhand flip when either the momentum was toward the bag and/or the distance was 15 feet or so and less.8.

Naturally, he came up with the idea while playing for Toronto.

I thought Brooks and Concepcion were doing this in the 1970 World Series.

I said thereabouts, since I didn't know the exact date it got popularized (or care that much to look up the exact date of Flanagan's debut).

Locksmith - Fleming Street
Artist: Locksmith
Producer: Mike TopNoch & Locksmith
Album: The Green Box
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 7 votes )
If you happen to think hip-hop is dead, I implore you to check out Locksmith's latest feature. Cuts like Fleming Street are worth more than 10 cookie-cutter, factory-made records. Released along with an equally powerful set of visuals directed by The Young Gunz of BLK Bloc, Fleming Street finds Locksmith telling the story of his cousin who was murdered. Over a poignant, piano-centered beat by Mike TopNoch and Lock himself, the Cali emcee wrestles with the death of his family member. Exhibiting an aggressive yet pained flow, he does a masterful job of conveying the indescribable feelings that come with the loss of a loved one. If Fleming Street doesn't get you to check out his free, DJBooth-hosted The Green Box project, I don't know what will.

Here is a link to the recording of Bismarck's voice from october 1889. He speaks German, English, Latin and French, unfortunately difficult to understand. He has a very high voice!
I don't want to be a party pooper, but based on the website of Benjamin Beck, the first recording of human voice is dated at least two decades earlier - 1860.
Nonetheless, records from the 1880s are exciting. Thanks!
Oh come on ! Anybody that's ever seen a historical movie knows that up until the 20th century EVERYONE spoke with an upperclass British accent
Especially the Romans.
"Linguists know that people talk differently when a recording device is prominent in front of them.."
Two other factors 1) people where used to speaking to large audiences without powered amplification, 2) the microphones did not benefit from amplification. IIRC one had to shout to make an impression into the recording material.
Regarding the fact that the accent sounds British, if this is a recording of Alexander Graham Bell's voice, it would be consistent with his upbringing in Scotland. He had only been in the United States for just over a decade in the early 1880s.
That means that he would have been unintelligible to Siri.

Curt: THE GREATEST TRAGEDY IN HUMAN HISTORY?Posted in Egalitarianism / Culture Wars on November 5th, 2014
Why is the Academy the source of humanity's greatest tragedies?
It has taken on the power and prestige of the church. Like the church, it is seeped in dogma and quick to denounce heretics. Like the church, it is an aggressive proselytizer, though a more subtle one — "universal higher education."
As AJ Nock observed, we used to teach Greek and Latin in high school. Now we teach remedial English in Universities. That's what happens when what used to be an elite, exclusive institute for the able becomes a pulpit for mass conversion to the secular religion of post-modernism.
(reposted) (worth reading: replacing the evil religion with what?)
RE: Lawrence Krauss says Religion Could Be Gone In a Generation.
That presupposes that Democratic Secular Pseudoscientific Humanism isn't also a religion. Which is what he presupposes. And what all of the members of the Cathedral presuppose.
But, all things considered, there is no comparison between Christianity's unification of Europe, or even the Stoic Schools, and:
1) The death and destruction of Marxism led by the Academy, and the battle against it – resisted by the Academy,
2) Keynesianism (reformed marxism) – led by the academy, and fought by religious groups;
3) The cognitive, social, and normative damage done by postmodernism – led by the academy, fought by traditionalist groups;
4) Anthropological, biological, and social pseudoscience and psychologism – led by the academy and fought by religious and traditional groups;
5) The destruction of the law of property and the common law – led by the academy and fought by religious and traditional groups.
6) The current pseudoscientific justification of democracy – led by the academy, and fought by traditional groups.
7) The destruction of the family – led by the academy and resisted by religious groups.
So if we critically, empirically, rationally, and scientifically analyze the comparative differences, then all that we would find, is that eliminating mysticism and replacing it with general rules, has made more effective workers. But in every other respect, religion and tradition have been superior to rational and pseudoscientific and immoral advocacy by the academy.
The academy functions as a religion because its central propositions – other than the nearly accidental success at disassembling the physical universe into general rules – are ALL FALSE.
In fact, physical science used to justify all the other falsehoods of the Pseudoscientific democratic secular socialist humanitarian religion, despite the contrary evidence.
So the Cathedral: the academy and state religion – which persists by profiting both materially and in social status, from the sale of dysgenic reproduction, via the generation of hyper-consumption, and the consequential destruction of the family, is a religion. A reilgion wherein millions of horrid crimes against not only humanity, but western civilization, are justified by but one success – science – over which its fallacies have no jurisdiction.
The irony is suffocating.
So. Yes. It would be wonderful if we could stamp out religion in one generation. Especially the religion of pseudoscientific democratic secular, socialist humanism. Which has finally succeeded in overcoming the christianization of Europe as the greatest tragedy in human history.
I have a wonderful suggestion. Why don't we return to worshiping, as in, holding celebrations of remembrance for, our heroes in:
1) Our Military generals and our statesmen.
2) Our Philosophers, scientists and engineers.
3) Our Saints, Caretakers, Healers, nurses, and mothers.
4) Our Entrepreneurs, Capitalists, businessmen and laborers who struggle to raise us from poverty to prosperity.
5) Our tribes and families which as kingdoms bear each other no offense, and every possible opportunity to learn.
6) The planet that birthed, raised, loves and nurturers us, and upon which we depend.
Oh. Wait!!! That would mean returning us to our original european religion before the state imposed Christianity upon us by forcing closed the stoic schools and imposing the church upon us, in the same way that the academy and state have incrementally destroyed our churches, and imposed pseudoscientific, democratic secular socialist humanism upon us!!!!
History is the only thing worth celebrating. Our heroes the gods to speak to – meaning pray to. Because if we understand the lives of those heroes well enough, we will find that the answers to our prayers to them are already within us waiting to be heard.
Science is a ruse to distract us from history. The false dichotomy the liars have created is between the church and science, when it is between history, pseudoscience, and mysticism.

Sweden recognizes Palestinian state; Israel upsetPosted in Israel/Palestine on October 30th, 2014
Sweden on Thursday became the biggest Western European country to recognize a Palestinian state, prompting a strong protest from Israel, which swiftly withdrew its ambassador from Stockholm.

The move by Sweden's new left-leaning government reflects growing international impatience with Israel's nearly half-century control of the West Bank, east Jerusalem and its blockade of the Gaza Strip. It also comes during increased tensions between Arabs and Jews over Israel's plans to build 1,000 housing units in east Jerusalem.

Curt: Classical Liberalism failed upon the introduction of women & non-property ownersPosted in Austrian School / Libertarian Theory, Egalitarianism / Culture Wars on October 30th, 2014
"However, we must also acknowledge that the classical liberal political system failed upon the introduction of women and non-property owners into enfranchisement. This is because those without property hold very different ethics – if ethics can be used to describe them. And the female reproductive strategy is to bear children and place the burden of their upkeep on the tribe (society). Private property was an innovation, that allowed males to once again take control of reproductive strategy, and the marriage that resulted from that innovation was a truce between the male and female strategies. A truce that feminists and socialists, and communists, and those that lack property, all seek to break. Private Property and the nuclear family, and the high trust ethic are both politically indivisible. And the classical liberal program cannot survive in their absence.
And no one else has provided us with a solution to this problem other than the feminists and socialists – who which to destroy private property, and the anarcho capitalists, who wish to preserve our freedom, and property."
ISIS belong to a tradition called khajirites — democratizing Islam.Posted in Egalitarianism / Culture Wars, Hidden History on October 29th, 2014
Ayelam Valentine Agaliba
October 18 at 1:07pm · Edited ·
ISIL/ISIS/IS are actually theoreticians of democracy. Within islamic theology they belong to a historical tradition called khajirites. The khajirites combined radical democracy with literalism. This is why the middle eastern tyrannies are so frightened of them. As anyone familiar with islamic history would tell you the early islamic caliphates viewed islam as a property of the arab aristocracy and opposed mass conversion. The aristocrats were opposed by the khajirites who argued that any man, even a black slave, can become a caliph so long as he has the requisite theological training and is elected.
Curt on TruthPosted in Austrian School / Libertarian Theory on October 27th, 2014
(worth repeating)
The analytic and cosmopolitan concept of truth (including Popper's truth), like the levantine pseudo-truth it arose from, is an UNACCOUNTABLE concept of truth.
Whereas the Indo-European truth, refers to testimony given between warriors whose life or death depends upon the veracity of that testimony. Etymologically, "Tréw" means testimony 'like an oak": and therefore, ACCOUNTABLE and WARRANTIED truth given via the spoken word.
Conversely, "true" for cosmopolitans, Jews and Muslims means 'the mind of god'. Not 'that which I am accountable for speaking truthfully'.
This was the mistake of the analytic movement's distraction as well. They tried to improve on truth and found all they could achieve was tautology, rather than spending a century on SPEAKING TRUTHFULLY. Popper sensed this, mises sensed it, but they failed. Just as the christian europeans failed, because they assumed truth and assumed that the problem was logical instead of truthful.
This is why the 20th century was such a failure: the operationalist, intuitionists, and praxeologists all FAILED.
So, now, that is my job. That's our job. That's the purpose of Propertarianism, Operationalism, and Testimonial Truth: to restore the purpose of philosophy to the SPEAKING of truth – not how to merely investigate the phenomenon of the physical word. Or not how to persuade people without unaccountable for it.
Discovering the truth is just labor, and doing it morally. Speaking the truth is a skill that must be mastered: Speaking operationally. Giving truthful testimony.

seven years ago: My, What A Big Nose
Hi Everyone! I'd like to take a moment to clear up any concerns about Charlie's weight. Every fall and winter, I receive emails regarding Charlie's "weight gain." Some go so far as to call him obese and me reckless for allowing him to become obese. Then, each summer, around July, I receive emails about how skinny Charlie has become, and is he OK or is he ill? The simple answer to all of the above is fur!
I care very much about Charlie's well-being and general health and, while he does often eat better than I do, he is not an obese coyote, nor is he overweight. He probably weighs more than any wild coyote, but I would also guess that Chloe weighs more than the average stray dog, as well.
If anything, Charlie has such incredible, lush, dense, healthy fur each winter because he is well-fed with a steady, balanced diet. As you can see from these pictures, his fur has come in and has become very thick! I'm using these side views as examples because coyote necks don't carry any fat. They just don't. That is all fur – lots and lots of fur.
You can also see the depth of the velvet on his forehead and around his ears. Even though there's no snow on the ground at the moment, Charlie is ready for it, and his coat will keep him cozy when temperatures drop to 40 below zero. When he sheds all this fur in the spring, it's enough to overflow a big black garbage bag. His diameter shrinks by half. And he's the same little trickster underneath it all, regardless of the season. Ain't nature grand?

I'm currently cleaning up a bunch of conditional text in an Adobe FrameMaker book. I need to reduce eight conditioanl tags down to two. Because of the complexity of the content and the required updates, I can't simply just delete the tags or the text en masse – I have to go through the book and figure it out item by item. It makes me pine for the Content Map feature of SmartDocs for Word, which wouldn't reduce the manual processing, but would greatly reduce the time I have to spend searching for condition tags.
Coincidentally, I cane across a series of blog posts by ExtendScript guru. Rick Quatro, in which he explains how to manage conditional tags in ExtendScript. What he's put together won't help me in my current project, hut it does give me hope that he, or someone else, will be able to write an add-in for FrameMaker to make managing conditional tags easier.
It is easy to delete Condition Formats from a FrameMaker document in the interface. If you try to delete a Condition Format that is use, you will be prompted on what to do to the conditionalized text:
With ExtendScript, things aren't so easy. If you delete a Condition Format programmatically, the conditionalized content is always deleted along with the format. There is no "option" on the Delete function to make the text unconditional. If you want to keep the text, you will have to remove the Condition Format from any text (and table rows) where it is applied.

America's most fun mayor, Detroit's Kwame Kilpatrick, continues to become a better and better role model — some say the best since Eminem. Wait, who? Oh yes, Detroit and its mayor, who recently was caught for sending sexy sex text messages with his chief of staff, for sex. And now, the Michigan attorney general's office says it will launch a probe into claims that Kilpatrick "threw a party with strippers at the mayor's mansion in 2002." Lady strippers. [AP/NYT]Related

Two OPS students receive a national award. Benson High student Katie Glessman and Burke High student Jared Polack were awarded with the JROTC Legion of Valor award.
It's the top national award for the JROTC. Only 29 kids in the country were donned with this honor.
"Unreal," said Polack. "It's the only word I have to describe it. It still really hasn't set in, they told me about a week and a half ago, in class. I was really surprised."
The competition is very stiff, on average only one is selected out of every four-thousand.
"It means a lot because to get this award you have to be like top notch, and it basically is saying I can do whatever I can put my mind up to," said Glessman.
The areas the students are judged on include academic excellence, leadership potential, and community service.

FF3 Basic Simple Seaming Beth Whiteside
Seaming is one of those basic skills, just beyond the knitting fundamentals of cast-on, knit, purl, and bind-off. We'll make small swatches in class and practice the basic techniques of seaming rows-to-rows and stitches-to-stitches. And we'll talk about how these techniques are used to put garments and other knit pieces together. Learn to seam, and a whole new world of knitting will open for you!

Discussion will also cover the importance of blocking your swatch.
Demo only no materials needed.
Friday 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
TT2 Easy Continental Knitting Kellie Nuss
Continental knitting involves tensioning the yarn in the hand holding the unworked stitches (for most people this is the left hand) and using the other needle to pick stitches through in a quick and efficient manner. It is a great technique to have in your knitting repetoire. It can solve a multitude of knitting problems or just be a good companion to the way you already knit. Your instructor will teach the basics of tensioning the yarn and picking the stitches rather than throwing.

Friday 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
TT8 No skills required Knitting in Both Directions Kellie Nuss
Knitting in both directions allows the knitter to always be looking at the right side, even if you are knitting flat. The work is never turned, and the knitter cleverly works both knit and purl stitches from the same side. This saves time when working on a very small number of stitches as for bobbles or entrelac, and it saves effort when working on a very large number of stitches. Your instructor will teach the basics of working knit and purl stitches from the right side of the work. There is time for practice and a discussion of how to use this technique in your every-day knitting.

Friday 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Saturday 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

All knitters make mistakes. It can be frustrating when you can't fix them yourself, so you rip out and start over numerous times. This class focuses on the most common skills beginners need: picking up dropped stitches, correcting mistakes a few rows back, and understanding the difference between ripping back and un-knitting. These skills will help you relax when an 'oops' comes along.
Saturday 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm SOLD OUT
