The knitting skills series is meant to provide quick sessions to learn a new skill or two. Please be sure you satisfy all the prerequisites, as the class is too short to go over them. For the basic decreases and reading charts session, you'll learn left- and right-leaning two-to-one decreases and how to read charts, including tracking yarn overs. If we have time, we'll cover a couple three-to-one decreases and double yarn overs. Sign up for our free Friday Stitch Nights to deepen your practice or consider taking our Wednesday Knitting Support classes, which are 40% off if you sign up for four different dates. Materials: Please bring your own materials and even extras if you have them. Rachel will have some available to share during class if you're missing anything. I'm hoping to avoid anyone having to buy anything; please bring what you can and plan to share. Non-splitty yarn (Tillie is perfect!) and knitting needles that produce a fabric you like Prerequisites: You must be able to cast on (any method), knit, and purl without assistance. Sadly, Rachel will have to ask you to sit out class if you cannot do these on your own so that we can cover everything in two hours. Refund and Cancellation Policy1.
