Week 1
Getting some knitting on the machine
We will learn about stitch lengths, and how tension affects the fabric. Plus different cast-on methods, and study their behavior and appearance, so you can pick a preferred method.
Week 2
Alternative ways to start a knitting
We will learn and practice 4 alternate ways to start a piece of knitting. These are great if you want to add a more stable start to your fabric without the ribber attachment.
Week 3
Ways to finish a knitting
We are going to practice the transfer tool bind-off, and latch tool bind-off. We will also learn how to make and measure a tension swatch, and how to properly steam and wet finish knitted fabric.
Week 4
Practice project
In the final week, we will use the techniques you have learned into execution, with one of the practice projects included in the final chapter of the class – the big scarf, and neck warmer.
zoom Meeting
There will be a zoom meeting on April 27th, 2024, hosted by Helen, to celebrate and talk about machine knitting. Details will be shared with participants at the beginning of week 4.
