Patchwork knitting this Saturday

Places are still available on the Patchwork knitting workshop I will be teaching on Saturday with Rosie and Jill.

We will be covering a wide variety of different modular knitting techniques, including:

  • Mitred squares, a great and very versatile introduction to modular knitting. These are the basic shapes I used in my Patchwork Jumper.
  • Rosie will be teaching how to make a reversible hour-glass shape she has recently been working on.
  • I will be teaching how to make reversible ribbed leaves

This is the shape I am using to make my Handspun Leaves Waistcoat.

  • We will demonstrate various different joining techniques to attach your modules together, and how to make garments (I will also cover how to increase and decrease within your mitred squares to create shaping, as used in my Patchwork Jumper).
  • Jill will talk about patchwork knitting and machine knitting, and how to use these techniques to combine hand and machine knitting.
  • There will be an inspiration and show and tell session where we all get to talk about what we have made and what we are currently planning (I get some excellent ideas from this session!)

I look forward to seeing you there!

PS. I have a shiny new washing machine (arrived this morning)! Woohoo!
