knitting series 201: modern first shawl
During this class students will work on a modern first shawl: Grain from Tin Can Knits.
This class is suitable for students who have completed our knitting 101 or have similar skill level.
Grain is a triangular shawl knit in the traditional way with increases at the edges & down the center spine. Finished shawl measures 63" wide by 23" long.
It is created using just the knit stitch so is ideal for new knitters who are looking for lots of practice.
It can be knit using 1, 2 or 3 colors to create a big cozy shawl that can be worn in several different ways.
Students knitting this shawl will learn simple increases, how to manage large numbers of stitches, work flat using a circular needle, change color (if needed), blocking & some additional tips & tricks along the way.
There will be the need for homework if you are to come away from class with a completed project
