Class Details:
Let’s just get right to it and explore the possibilities with this new knitting craft. We’ll cover basic techniques, including how to cast on, knit, purl, and stop in the middle. But we’ll also cover how to make lace, create cables, and more—all with your arms alone. With these skills, enter the world of chunky knits without dealing with massive needles—it will be at your fingertips, literally. Walk away from this class with swatches that will let your mind run wild with possibility. We’ll review finishing and seaming techniques to complete your arm-knitting toolbox. In addition, Anne will review design basics that will allow you to transfer your new skills to fabulous blankets, pillows, or rugs of your own creation once you get home.
Homework:
None
Supplies for Class:
3 skeins (minimum 85 yards/each) of a super-bulky yarn that knits up in a traditional gauge of 2 stitches/inch or fewer.
