Intermediate Knitting Skills

Fiber Arts, Knitting

Kate Hartman

OK knitters, so you have learned the basics. You are comfortable with knitting and purling. You can shape your knitting by increasing and decreasing. Take some time to go beyond the basics and learn techniques that will make your knitting better and more creative. Students in this course practice and learn alternative, special purpose cast-ons and bind-offs including "invisible cast-on" and "3-needle bind-off" seams, reading patterns, keeping your place, grafting (the "seamless seam") and getting the stitch gauge to make a garment that fits. Knitters with previous experience of all kinds are welcome to join in on the fun for this one-day workshop.

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
