Have you ever seen someone knit without looking down at their work and wondered how they do that? Knitting without looking is more than just a party trick — it enables us to watch a show or visually interact with others while continuing to knit; knit while traveling without fear of motion sickness; and future-proof our hobby against aging and tired eyes or visual impairment.
In this class you'll learn simple tricks that will release you from the need to see what you're doing. We'll practice a variety of stitches beyond just knits and purls and learn how to set ourselves up for success in our efforts.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner and Up - Knitters must already know how to cast on, bind off, knit, purl, and work basic increases and decreases.
Student Supplies:
Bring your homework swatch still on the needles with at least 30 additional yards of the yarn attached, a dozen stitch markers, a bandana, sleep mask, or lightweight scarf that is comfortable to wear as a blindfold.
Homework:
Using a smooth, worsted to chunky weight yarn and appropriate needles for working flat with that yarn, cast on 20 stitches and work one inch of k2, p2 ribbing. Leave the stitches live on the needles and do not cut the yarn.
Materials Fee: None
