It’s a Wrap

February 8th to March 15th 2025

New Lynn Library

It’s a Wrap (A knitted one, that it!)

The wonderful world of lace knitting will be opened up to enthusiastic participants who will learn how to knit a wrap or shawl in lightweight yarn over six sessions. These sessions are for knitters who can knit to an intermediate standard. With 60 years of knitting experience, I will be teaching a series of techniques which will include a chained cast on, a matching bind off, following a lace chart, mastering knitting two different lace stitches, reading the knitting as it progresses, blocking their lovely work.
 
I hope to encourage these skills as we share together in our love of knitting!
 
Diane Berkley

With over 60 years of experience, Diane has cultivated a lifelong passion for the art of knitting. Her journey began with the influence of her Scottish grandmother’s intricate work and grew further under the guidance of her mother after migrating to New Zealand at the age of 6. These early inspirations laid the foundation for her diverse and accomplished knitting skills, which she now seeks to share with others.

Having lived in Blockhouse Bay for 40 years, Diane is dedicated to teaching knitting techniques to her local community. She believes in the importance of passing on these time-honored skills, ensuring that the vibrant and versatile craft of knitting continues to flourish for future generations.
