In the Beginner's class folks will learn how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off. We will work on a simple project and learn how to recognize and fix common knitting mistakes....hey...we all make 'em!
A couple of ideas for what you can make in the Beginner's class:
This fabulous sleeve/shawl is made with straight knitting....no purling! It's as easy as it gets and is wonderfully elegant. (Warning: If you throw this in the back of your car for the summer in an unshapely wad, it WILL look a little wrinkly but none the worse for wear ;0)
Or perhaps....
This cute bolero was knit on really big needles with one skein of Rasta Malabrigo. It's pretty much instant knitification!
In the Intermediate class we will hone your knitting techniques. You can take this opportunity to learn how to knit much, much faster with the Continental (aka European) style of knitting. We'll also work on more complex stitch patterns and knitting patterns. A great opportunity to learn how to do a raglan sweater, a Maja shawl or perhaps getting started on lace with something like the Summer Flies shawlette.
I encourage each student to get in touch with me and we can chat about projects and what you need help with so that I can prepare and make sure that you get the most out of the class.
Classes are: October 6, 20, 27 and November 3, 2012
