Knitting Bag of Tricks



This class is your opportunity to join with others to learn tips and tricks from the books of knitting expert, teacher, designer, Patty Lyons.  With her book Knitting Bag of Tricks and the accompanying Official Workbook, we will spend four sessions working through over 70 "hacks" covering:  stitch anatomy, knitting styles, swatching/gauge, pattern language, increases & decreases, short rows, and finishing skills, to name a few.  The workbook includes fun & humorous stickers, a useful needle inventory, and a section of pages for you to document your future knitting projects.
Each lesson includes swatching for the skills, filling in (and decorating) your workbook, and sharing in class your observations along this journey. 

Books available for purchase in the shop.
