The world is your oyster and the possibilities unlimited if you give your creative genius full rein. Refine your knitting skills in just three days with professional knitter and garment designer Ann Dooling. Learn double and twined knitting, cable, fair isle, garter and lacing techniques. Knit a sock without a pattern, write a pattern for your own knitted creation, and knit for pure the joy of it!
Students should bring an assortment of knitting needles, especially double pointed needles in size 3, and a straight needles in sizes 4-7. We will visit the knitting shop in town on Saturday morning, and they can purchase any needles or yarn they choose to.
Cost: $200
Includes lunch each day.
Instructor: Ann Dooling
