Class Details:
Take a guided tour of the possibilities of center-out accessories. We will look at round, square, rectangular, and oblong projects that all begin from the center. We will construct miniature versions of these shapes while learning special cast-on methods for center-out projects. Many traditional lace and colorwork motifs can be converted to work with these shapes for spectacular results. By the end of the class, students will feel confident using these cast on methods to create center out accessories to fit their own unique style. Technique Requirements: Knit/purl; cast on/bind off; increase/decrease; working in the round; beginner lace; chart reading; have knit a few accessories; easy colorwork; able to modify existing patterns
Homework:
None
Supplies for Class:
Fingering- or sport-weight yarn in 2 to 3 colors, circular and double-pointed needles in a corresponding size (#4, 5, or 6), stitch markers.
