Circular knitting or "knitting in the round" is a wonderful way to work. Excellent for hats, socks, sleeves, sweaters and more, it's an indispensable skill that will open up many new options for patterns and types of projects.
There are many different ways to knit in the round: on double-pointed needles ("DPNs"), circular needles, with magic loop, two circular needles and the newer Flexi-Flips and bent DPNs. This class will demonstrate the techniques, and provide opportunities to practice all of them. We'll share tips, techniques for knitting in the round on any style of needles, and for any project, including easy ways to join and a magic trick for fixing a twisted round. Whether you're new to working in the round, or have tried it with difficulties, this class is for you!
All in-store classes take place at 6pm in our Kensington Market shop. Please arrive a few minutes early.
Once we have received your order, we will send you an email to confirm and to go over a bit more information.
Please note that these classes are geared towards adults as children tend to learn at a much different speed. If you have a young friend under the age of 16 who would like to learn, please reach out to us directly to make arrangements.
