In 3- 90 minute classes, you will learn all you need to know for the foundations of knitting in the Continental method of knitting and purling. (Working yarn in the left hand.) You can begin this method as a complete beginner, OR learn it new as a “thrower” or American style. I will use a pattern I wrote which include 14 different stitch patterns called “Sassy Summer Scarf.” Included is 100g of worsted weight wool.
Session 1: The continental knit stitch. This technique has you holding the working yarn in your left hand. It’s a wonderfully ergonomic way to knit which is a nice change from other ways of knitting.
Session 2: A week later when you have knit 30-50 rows of knitting every row, we’ll build on that skill, and I will teach you to purl. It’s a more challenging skill so you’ll want to bring your patience. It will be worth it all though when you learn to rib and do other knit stitches that involve knits and purls in the same row.
Session 3: A week later when you have knit and purled 30-50 more rows, we’ll build on that skill and learn to knit ribbing and other stitches.
Class will be limited to 4 people.
The price is $150 for 2 or more people.
