Learn a new knitting technique. In this technique the yarn is tensioned around your neck, or using a knitting pin. This method is a great choice for people experiencing pain from throwing or picking in other knitting styles because only a little movement is needed to form the stitches (just a small flick on the left thumb). It will help you go much faster when purling lots of stitches, and if you like complex colorwork you will love this knitting style—it’s easier to get an even gauge and the yarns never get tangled!

The program of the workshop will be:
1) introduction to Portuguese knitting style, how to wrap the yarn and adapt your knitting posture;
2) basic techniques: cast-on, purl, knit, ribbing and bind-off;
3) increases and decreases;
4) how to work in the round in Portuguese style (always purling);
5) colorwork: tension yarn on both hands, how to use 2 knitting pins to a tangle-free colorwork.
