Have you learned the basics of knitting (knit and purl) but want to move beyond scarves and dishcloths? We will cover a range of techniques that you can add to your knitting repertoire so you can tackle a range of projects with confidence!

Including understanding your fabric and “reading” your knitting to understand mistakes, reading knitting patterns and knitting charts, increasing and decreasing stitches (including how to master the yarnover), fixing common simple mistakes (including picking up a dropped stitch), understanding tension, demystifying knitting in the round, and introduction to lace and cables.

Taught by Wellington’s Yarn Queen Joy Wintour!

Skill level: NOVICE: You need to know how to do knit and purl stitches and be able to cast on your swatch (even if with outside help) – but you don’t need to be good at them!
Bring a stocking stitch swatch still on the needles (roughly 10cm wide by 5-6cm) in 4, 8, or 10 ply yarn to use for sampling techniques.
*You may also bring specific projects that you are stuck on and/or specific questions for Joy to help you troubleshoot if time allows.
