A whole bag of tricks for
those who love to knit and hate to purl! Learn faux ribbing, a substitute
for moss stitch, even lace patterns with nary a purl stitch. Garter ladders,
lazy rib, brioche stitch, rose fabric, and tubular knitting will all be
taught and swatched. (3 hrs)
Using your two knitting needles and basic knitting stitches, discover the astonishing fabrics and textures
you can create with the technique known as weaving. Create knitting that masquerades as woven fabric, easily
combine colors into incredible tweeds, checks and polka dots (using only one color at a time, of course),
and show off those hand painted yarns to best advantage. Amaze your knitting friends—some of these fabrics will
stump the most experienced of them! (3 hrs)
The simple instruction, "Work in pattern as established," strikes fear into the hearts
of many knitters. Conquer this fear and learn to shape garments around pattern stitches,
including the use of charts and stitch markers. At the same time, discover how edge
stitches can be incorporated to make finishing simple yet professional-looking. (3 hrs)
