Class Details:
The variety of different knit structures that are possible by moving one bed from side to side is quite staggering, and I'm sure they haven't all been discovered yet. Learn how to make some of the stitches rack, whilst others apparently do not. Use the rack to take half the work out of cabling and explore the possibilities with bias knitted fabrics. Then, of course, we can rack one way and transfer the other...
Homework:
Familiarize yourself with the racking handle and pitch lever.
Supplies for Class:
Machine and ribber, suitable yarn, some of which should be 3ply approx.
