Pattern Reading

Cost: $55/2hrs
Teacher: Kate
Dates: Thursday, August 31st from 7 to 9pm

ONLINE CLASS

Are you finding yourself frequently baffled by your knitting patterns? There is a whole language system knitting patterns use, and it can be intimidating and confusing.

Learn to read and understand key concepts and language used in patterns: from standard abbreviations and common pattern stitches to the significance of gauge and what to do about it, and how to handle challenging instructions such as “decrease 1 stitch either end of every 6th row 10 times.” Knitters are encouraged to ask questions about patterns they are struggling with.

Skill Level: beginners, suitable for knitters who are confident with the mechanics of knitting, and are looking to take on their first pattern-based project or who are struggling with pattern comprehension and selection
Materials Required: None

Next Steps in Lace

Cost: $45/2hrs
Teacher: Kate
Dates: Tuesday, June 25th from 6-8 pm

For knitters who have successfully worked one or two lace patterns, this class focuses on building lace knitting confidence and skills. We’ll talk about more advanced stitchwork like double yarnovers, nupps and faggoting stitches, and knitted-on borders. We’ll work a small sampler in the class, and I’ll share tips on preventing mistakes, and demonstrate how to fix them without unraveling! I’ll provide an overview of different shawl shapings and constructions. And we’ll spend some time on answering frequently asked questions, and trouble-shooting.

Skill Level: Intermediate; knitters should have some lace experience
Materials Required: Please bring 4.5mm/US #7 needles – straight or short circular, medium weight scrap yarn in a light color, and any lace pattern you’d like to work
