CLASS: Fisherman's Rib Blanket with guest Cori Eichelberger SATURDAY 11/21/26

Fishermans Rib Blanket with guest Cori Eichelberger of @irocknits

Stop in to the shop to see some knit samples!

From Cori: "I love knitting fisherman’s rib. I find it so repetitive and soothing to knit but the best part is that it is the squishiest fabric I’ve felt in knitting. This is a simple blanket with an i-cord cast on (optional) and i-cord edges so no finishing when you’re all done. It’s easy to pick up and put down and works up much more quickly in chunky yarn. A very repetitive stitch pattern worked up in a chunky yarn makes for the squishiest blanket you’ll ever make."
