Have you ever wanted to knit faster, or do you suffer from pain in your hands, arms or shoulders when you're knitting? The answer is to learn to knit the Continental way!
With the yarn held in your left hand, learn how to 'pick' your stitches as you zip through your rows. Ribbing, moss stitch, brioche, lace and two-handed colourwork become so quick and easy - you might even enjoy doing the rib on a sweater next time!
After the class you'll have the skills and confidence you need to use the continental style of knitting for all your projects. You'll know how to hold your yarn, how to do the knit and purl stitches, how to combine your stitches into textures such as ribbing, how to yarn over, increase and decrease...and so much more including tensioning your yarn and troubleshooting! There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and practice your continental knitting in class with Linda's guidance.
Linda will also give demonstrations to show how brioche becomes a breeze and how easy colourwork is when you use two hands.
Skill level: Suitable for advanced beginners - knitters who are comfortable with casting on, knit and purl stitches and knitting in the round will enjoy this class.
You will need to practice at home after the class...we recommend trying your new skill on a simple garter swatch at first. Once you've mastered the knit side of things you'll be ready to practice purling on a stocking stitch swatch or simple project.
