Whether you're an absolute beginner or looking to refresh your skills, the Beginners Class will give you a firm grounding in the basics of machine knitting. No previous knowledge of knitwear or knitting machines is required.
You'll learn how knitting machines work and what they can do, with plenty of time to practice and experiment, creating a range of samples to learn from.
You will learn:
Threading up
Casting on
Tension/stitch size
Yarn thickness
Mixing yarns together
Stripes
Transferring stitches
Increasing & decreasing
Ladders
Lace holes
We use Brother knitting machines on the course. All equipment and yarns will be provided, along with technical notes to take home, with instructions for everything we've covered in the class.
