Class Details:
This is a multi-part class. Attendees must register for all parts in order to take this class. If you’ve ever wondered whether you would enjoy using a knitting machine, this is the perfect opportunity to find out. With machines provided, all you need to bring is an open mind and 2 balls of DK-weight yarn. Students will learn the basics like casting on and binding off, garment shaping, and short rows. You will explore patterning capabilities and learn what different machines have to offer. This class is open only to students who have never used a knitting machine—not a refresher for those who have.
Homework:
None
Supplies for Class:
Students should bring several balls of light-colored DK-weight yarn, wound in balls that pull smoothly from the center. Wool or a quality wool blend are best for beginners. Optional: In addition, you can bring other yarns, including novelties, to try once you have gotten through the basics.
