Novelaria Festival is becoming more popular each year. In its third edition, this charming knitting café is bringing Brazilian and Portuguese designers who will teach different techniques in knitting, crocheting, and knooking.
On the weekend of May 27th and 28th, you can attend workshops and lectures to learn and improve your skills. All classes include projects made with Malabrigo yarns.
Novelaria Festival Workshops
Felipe's workshop will bring a unique technique of joining geometric knitted shapes. He will teach how to knit a circle, different increases and decreases, and more. This class promises to blow your mind!
Maria will teach how to knit a semicircular shawl using two colors with different sections of tuck stitches, brioche and brioche with short rows. If you love shawls, don't miss this class.
Paula will teach how to make a simple knitted accessory with a twist using intarsia and i-cord. If you're not familiar with Paula's creativity and teaching, in this class, you'll see how far her mind can go.
Simone will teach a not-so-basic granny square bucket hat since it can be worn with both sides facing. If you want to bring the house down next summer, that's the perfect accessory to add to your closet.
Soraia is a pioneer of the knooking technique in Brazil. Knooking is a technique that uses a crochet hook with a cable attached to create a knitted fabric. In this workshop, she will teach how to make a beanie in brioche stitch. Do you want some adventure learning a new technique? That's the class you need!
Vivi will teach how to knit a pouch bag, including all the skills to sew the lining and the zipper. It will definitely be a fun project!
Also, there will be two lectures given by Paula Pereira and Viviane Basile. Paula will discuss her recently published book "Textured Knits" by Laine Publishing. The participants will be able to ask questions and learn more about Paula's creative process. Vivi will guide us through ten different types of sweater, cardigan, and blouse constructions to help us make more assertive choices when choosing a knitting project.
And last but not least, Novelaria organizes a famous online live shopping experience, where all the participants receive a Zoom link to join at a specific time during the festival. It's the perfect chance to add beautiful yarn to your stash at exceptional prices.
The festival will be held in Portuguese. Almost all the classes will happen online, except Viviane's Pouch Bag, which will take place at Novelaria Vila Madalena. So you can join if you are a walking distance from the store or on the other side of the globe.
