PATTY LYONS: BUILD A BETTER FABRIC (knitting) - Wednesday, May 15 from 6-8pm CT (via Zoom)
You know how to knit, but do you know how to build a perfect fabric?
There's always room for improvement! Does your knitting "row out" (purl sts looser than knit sts)? Are you looking for a better way to control gauge? What about alternative ways to tension your slippery or stiff yarn? We'll explore ways to improve your knitting technique by looking at the most important fundamentals, like the job of the left needle tip and the right needle shaft, stitch sizing, and even the correct exit path of your stitch. If you feel like you are always three needles off from a pattern or have inconsistent gauge or are just unhappy with your finished fabric, this is the class for you.
Class will be held via Zoom from 6-8pm CT (7-9pm ET; 5-7pm MT; 4-6pm PT). Class will not be recorded.

Class Materials -
- Worsted weight yarn – light colored, smooth
