Edie Eckman: Unlearn to Knit

You learned the rules: Put your needle in this way, wrap your yarn that way. Now unlearn those rules to gain control of your knitting. No matter how long you've been knitting or what your knitting style, understanding the structure of the knitted fabric and how the stitches are related to one another is the key to becoming an expert knitter. We'll have fun exploring what it really means to take a length of string and turn it into a fabric. If time allows, we'll even "knit back backwards"! You'll leave class with the confidence and ability to fix mistakes, take shortcuts, and be the master of your stitches.
