Learn to Knit Retreat (2 Parts 9/21 & 9/28)

Description

In this double workshop (two Sundays), 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 will have a detailed booklet to help you when we’re done. You’ll also get a hat pattern to be worked from the top down (an Artisan Knitworks publication called the Mad Hatter). Remember: As with all of our courses, you can keep coming back until the relevant skills have been mastered!

Materials:  About 100 grams of DK or worsted-weight yarn, preferably natural fiber. Appropriate 16 or 24-inch 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 for class use.
