Because these trims are typically done on just a few stitches, they are a practical way to explore the structure and techniques of knitted lace. Great for introductory lace knitters, as well as those wanting to advance their understanding of what knitted lace is all about. Students will use both written and charted patterns, and learn to make their own charts. Methods for attaching lace, mitering, grafting, and blocking will be covered. More in-depth coverage of topics is covered in the longer class.
Students bring knitting supplies.
This three-day workshop will cover a broad range of topics and class activities in the fundamental techniques, design, and practical application of knitted lace.

A reference workbook will be compiled from samples and design activities. Students will begin their own personally designed sampler scarf in class.
