Students receive a handout in booklet form, including the "Alacrity" fingerless mitts (a paid download on Ravelry).
No materials fee.
No homework, per se, but please be sure you meet the prerequisite. If you would like to get a head start, you can set up for the cast-on by following these instructions here.
Supplies:- class yarn (worsted weight, plain, light or bright or medium color, non-splitting)
- needles appropriate for 1×1 ribbing in this yarn
- cable needle or double-pointed needles
- needles for working in the round
- waste yarn for a tubular cast-on in the round
No special needs for the room set up. A whiteboard or flip chart is nice to have but not need to have. Room set-up should be tables and chairs either facing forward or in a U-shape. I have a projector if the facilities can accommodate it.
