Kimberly McAlindin
Knit to Fit was born from the many messages I received while working in a yarn shop asking me how I changed the patterns for knit sweaters to look so flattering on my body type.
This class will teach you:
-how to measure your body to knit the correct size.
-ask class participants their personal issues and offer assistance.
-introduce a formula to change increases and decreases in knitting to change a pattern.
*please bring a measuring tape and your favorite sweater/shirt/blouse/sweatshirt to class.
Learning to knit is an amazing adventure, once you have mastered the knit and the purl stitch there is an entire world out there of amazing fabric projects at your fingertips. One of the things I find knitters ask me most often once they reach this stage is: how do I put pieces together, how do I weave my ends in so that they won’t come undone and is there a way to fix something in my knitting that I don’t like?
This class will go over the following techniques:
-casting on with a crochet hook-joining new yarn (thick and thin)
-weaving in ends
-seaming
-binding off including my fabulous in the round invisible technique.
*please bring darning needles
Swatches will be provided.
