The second part will be devoted to practical skills. You will learn how to count rows in one color and multi-color knitting, find your place in a stitch pattern, and keep track of increases and decreases during shaping. You’ll also learn to find and correct errors.

Finally, if you have a project on the needles, especially if you are in trouble, bring it and put your new skills to work ! What to bring: Two colors of smooth, light to medium colored yarn. Should be worsted weight or heavier. Needles appropriate for the yarn – straight or circular. We will be knitting swatches back and forth . Locking stitch markers and other notions.
