Open to knitters of all levels, this class covers the basics and introduces more advanced techniques. In the first session, beginning students get comfortable with knitting and shaping on straight needles, while advanced students work on swatches of stitches and circular knitting. Using patterns or sketches as a starting point, students design a project to focus on for the week. The second session includes a brief review of the week’s work and new strategies for sculptural knitting and interesting forms.Â
