Skill level is advanced.
Prerequisite: Must already know how to work regular two-color double-knitting. Students must already have completed a double knit project — a bookmark or potholder is fine.
What you will learn:
left-leaning double-knit cable
right-learning double-knit cable
double-knitting to show purl or knit stitches
monochromatic double-knitting (i.e. two layer fabric in one color with one yarn)
Maximum 20 students.
½ day workshop.
Students receive a handout in booklet form and a pattern for a double-knit cabled scarf.
No materials fee.
No homework, per se. If it has been awhile since you worked any double-knitting, be sure to refresh your memory.
Supplies:- class yarn (smooth, non-splitting, light or bright or medium color)
- needles to work that yarn as well as needles both larger and smaller
- 2 non-slippery short double-pointed needles or 2 non-slippery cable needles
No special needs for the room set up. A whiteboard or flip chart is nice to have but not need to have. I have a projector if the facilities can accommodate it. Room set-up should be tables and chairs either facing forward or in a U-shape.
