10/13 – Learn to Knit Retreat

Description

In this half-day workshop (with a break!), we’ll intensively explore materials and tools, the basics of knitting, a range of stitch patterns, shaping techniques, and in-the-round knitting. Along the way, you’ll pick up a number of tips and tricks that will prevent trouble in the future. You’ll have a free book, which has excellent drawings of basic moves as well as an array of stitch patterns to be used either for cotton washcloths or blanket squares.  Remember: Here, as with all of our courses, you can keep coming back until the relevant skills have been mastered!

Materials:  About 10 grams of DK or worsted-weight yarn, preferably natural fiber. Appropriate circular needle (DK, sizes 6 or 7, worsted, sizes 8 or 9). Metal tapestry needle. Scissors.

Homework:  None.  But let us know by e-mail ([email protected]) whether you are left or right-handed. 

For most classes, we hope you’ll use our beautiful yarns! We offer a 10% discount on full-priced materials to be used in the class.

*For stash-buster classes, you surely may use your own yarns mixed with ours.

All classes include detailed handouts or (as relevant) printed patterns.

Classes may require a minimum number of participants.  If Artisan Knitworks or the instructor has to cancel, a full refund (check), registration in another class, or store credit (120% of tuition) will be offered.  If you have to cancel your class registration up to 7 days before the event, we offer the same choices.  However, we cannot offer these choices if you cancel within the 7-day window.
