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!
