Technique Workshop - Learn Continental Knitting
Unlock the secrets of efficient and fluid knitting with our Continental Knitting Technique Workshop!
Continental knitting is another way to knit and purl, also known as "picking". The yarn and needle are held in your left hand, much like crochet. It is very economical in movement and some say faster. It also makes colorwork knitting a breeze!
In this workshop, you will:
- discover the basics - learn the fundamentals of Continental knitting, including how to hold the yarn and needles
- enhance your technique - develop your tension and speed as you practice your stitches and transitions
- troubleshoot and perfect - get personalized tips on common issues and techniques to refine your Continental knitting for a more enjoyable experience
Louise will also be teaching 2 different methods of Continental purling so you can choose which works best for you!
This is a technique-only session, there is no associated project.
You will need either DK-weight yarn with US size 6 16" needles or worsted-weight yarn with US size 8 16" needles for this workshop.
Before the meeting, cast 90 stitches on to your needles - do not join them in the round (Louise will be providing helpful tips for that part in the workshop!)
A minimum of 3 participants is required for this workshop to run - encourage your friends to join us!
