Expand your knowledge and your knitting skills in this 3-week workshop! We will learn how to choose yarn with confidence, the differences among the major types of animal and plant fibers and why they matter, what makes superwash yarns special, why gauge and swatching are so important, how to block your knits and why it matters, and how to fix mistakes. Each week, students will participate in hands-on demonstrations and exercises. Students will be required to knit a small swatch according to class instructions to practice techniques in the third week of class.
- Week 1: Choosing the right yarn for your project
- Week 2: All about gauge, swatching, and blocking
- Week 3: Fixing Mistakes
Skill Level: Intermediate
Skills Required: Students should be comfortable casting on, knitting, and purling
