Portuguese Knitting: From Basics to Colorwork - Ana Campos - Sun. 8/2

Sunday, August 2

12:00-1:00, 3 hours

About this class:

Learn how to knit Portuguese style! Portuguese knitting is more efficient and easier on your joints, so it can help reduce strain and fatigue. In this style of knitting, the yarn is tensioned either around the neck or using a knitting pin. This unique method of tensioning the yarn allows both knit and purl stitches to be created with a simple flick of the thumb! In this workshop, you’ll start knitting a cowl that starts with basic techniques (Portuguese knit and purl), and then move to stranded colorwork. Portuguese Knitting makes it easier to control the tension of your floats, making for easy stranded knitting! 

Skill level: Advanced beginner and beyond.

Level: Intermediate

What you’ll need to bring to class:
2 colors of bulky weight yarn, US10 16" needles
