Four-Week Knitting Intensive: Fundamental Skills
Taught by Rhiannon Platt
Rhiannon Platt is at least third generation fiber artist. Raised by seamstresses, crocheters, and fiber artists of all kinds, she picked up her first pair of needles over a decade ago. Since her first scarf, Rhiannon has gone on to fabricate for Lion Brand Yarn, Nathan Vincent, Olek, Jeila Gueramian, Londonkaye, and Levi’s. In between commissions, she finds time to write patterns and make endless sweaters.
In this continuing knitting class, students will learn the fundamentals of the craft, and then build on them to eventually knit a seamless hat.
We will learn the knit and purl stitches, how to do ribbing, use circular needles, double-pointed needles, decreases, pattern reading, and weaving in ends.
With the skills learned in these classes, students will be able to go on to make other garments such as gloves, sweaters, socks, etc. just in time for some holiday crafts!
