CLASSES
Class: Magic Loop |
Class: Toe-Up Socks Made Easy |
Magic loop is a method of knitting in the round which will change your knitting life forever (cue dramatic lights and echo-o-o). But seriously, magic loop is a great essential skill that will rock your knitting world. While double pointed needles are an effective way to work on smaller circumference projects - think sleeves, hat crowns, socks, etc. - they can feel finicky and difficult to work with. The alternative magic loop method uses a long circular needle to knit in the round, allowing you to knit a variety of circumferences without having to switch needles or cord lengths. Ethan will walk you through the basics of magic loop and show you tips and tricks which will solidify your love for the technique.
This class is great for everyone from beginners to experts. Date & Time: Sunday, 9 August from 2 - 5 pm in Outlaw Den (at HQ) Prerequisite Skills: Be comfortable knitting in the round Taught Skills: To knit stockinette (stocking stitch) and ribbing in the round, at different circumferences via the magic loop method Materials to Bring: Bring at least 50 grams of yarn, from 4 - 10 ply along with corresponding needles for the weight you've chosen. You will end up cutting the yarn, so make sure it is a skein you don't mind using for practice. (Bandit DK is a great, affordable yarn option if you don't have a skein to use) Instructor: Ethan |
Join Ethan over three sessions as you knit through a sock (or two!) from toe to cuff. Ethan has created a customizable pattern which will effortlessly break down the steps for you - making the sock-making process one you will return to over and over again. This course is designed to have gap between each session, giving you time to get your knitting "homework" done. If you are a speedy knitter, you will be able to work on both socks before the last session, if you schedule is on the busier side, you can work on just one sock at a time.
