In this comprehensive beginner’s workshop, explore the world of machine knitting! You’ll get comfortable with an LK150 knitting machine, learn how to use it and discover the essentials of knitting on a machine.  You will learn basic techniques including stripes, increasing/decreasing, lace and ribbing that can be applied to any future project. There’ll be plenty of time to practice and knit after different techniques have been demonstrated. You’ll leave with swatches of everything you’ve learned.

No prior knitting or machine knitting experience required.

I’ve successfully taught this workshop several times including at the Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival, the Kentucky Sheep & Wool Festival, and the New York State Sheep & Wool Festival (Rhinebeck). Each class sold out quickly, with students leaving inspired and confident in what machine knitting can do. Learn more about me here.
