Continental Knitting: Saturday 5/18 10:30-12:30

Many North American knitters “throw” their yarn with their right hand. Continental knitters hold and tension the working yarn with their left hand and “scoop” the yarn with the right needle. Some knitters find that they improve their speed and comfort using this method, while others wish to learn it so they can do two-handed colorwork. In this class you will learn to manage the yarn with your left hand as well as various methods for purling including combination and Norwegian styles.

Prerequisites: Basic knitting skills.

Materials: Smooth DK, worsted, or Aran yarn and appropriate needles.
