Workshop Information
Knitting "in the round" can also give you a beautiful, flat, block. Come and practice working your blocks from the edge and from the centre. You'll also practice two decrease (k2tog, ssk) and one increase techniques.
Materials Required
You'll need two small balls of yarn and two sets of double pointed needles (DPNs) for this workshop in a size appropriate for the gauge of the yarn. A copy of Nicky Epstein's Knitting Block by Block book is a required text for this workshop.
Skill Level 2: Experienced
You can cast on and cast off, knit and purl and you have followed a pattern to finish a project. You can recognize mistakes and have attempted to fix them. You own a knitting reference book and you've used it to figure out a stitch or abbreviation. You've completed several projects and now you're ready to change colours, make holes on purpose and create textured patterns.
