Materials:
Purchase and print the Iris pattern by Trin-Annelie, yarn: may we suggest BC Garn Bio Shetland - which has SO many colors to mix and match, needles for gauge in ribbing size and body size (Bill will review gauge with you in class as well); stitch markers, notions per pattern. The cast on will require multiple needles in your gauge size, so please bring additional pairs to work this portion of the pattern.
