Course review:
This is always a very popular course, and we often have to turn people away – so book early for a fun week of hands on machine knitting! You will cover a variety of skills during the week.
On Monday and Tuesday you will follow through the making of a small garment including hems, shaping with tools and holding position, neckbands,making up etc. The skills that each knitter can include in this project depend on their needs and ability – basics, intarsia, cables etc.
On Wednesday and Thursday ribber work will be the main feature.Topics will include setting up the ribber, knitting basic ribs, buttonholes, shaping on the ribber, knitting a variety of ribbed fabrics, including jacquard. Beginners and those wishing to can continue with the project fromTuesday if they choose.
Friday will be a Lace day. Every machine can produce a variety of lace fabrics, and we will cover as many variations of machine knitted lace as possible.
