Classes
ONSITE: Introduction to Lace Knitting
Learn the basics of lace knitting. We will cover some history and different traditions of lace as well as reading pattens and charts, basic lace stitches, cast ons and bind offs. We will complete a bookmark project in class.
Special Notes
- Students should bring straight or 16” circular knitting needles, size 0-4 to match weight of yarn, lace or fingering weight yarn (nothing too fluffy or hazy, avoid mohair), and basic knitting notions.Students will need to have supplies ready for the first class. Some basic knitting knowledge is necessary for this class. You will only need 1 size of needle to complete the project. You can choose whichever size is recommended for your lace or fingering weight yarn. Lighter sock yarn can also be used. If you are not as experienced with lighter weights of yarn, I would recommend sock yarn and needles that are recommended for your brand of yarn.Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date.
