Makers Unite: Crochet & Knit Crossover - Kate Oates + Britt Garber - Fri. 8/8

Friday, August 8
10:00am - 2:00pm (4 hours)

About the Class:

This collaborative workshop, led by crochet designer Britt Garber and knitwear designer Kate Oates, bridges the worlds of crochet and knitting. It invites knitters to explore essential crochet techniques and crocheters to try their hand at knitting and equips participants with the skills to complete the featured pattern using their preferred method. The included pattern can be worked entirely in crochet or knit, or, makers can combine the two methods by working sections in different styles. Each maker will learn the following techniques in both knit & crochet: mosaic colorwork, basic lace, picking up and working stitches along a perpendicular edge, along with finishing techniques. At the end of the class, they will have all the skills they need to work Britt & Kate's collaborative BOMB ASS WRAP.
 
All students will also receive access to Britt & Kate's online workshop for the Bomb Ass Wrap.
