to tell you this is double-faced crochet, derived from the crocheted Astrakhan
stitch. Usually this stitch is created with single crochet and is quite dense and
heavy. In this class we’ll open up and make it beautiful for practical use, including the creation of fabrics for garments, handbags, household articles, and trims.
Many different stitch patterns are presented in class including samples made in
rounds and worked dimensionally.

Best Fitting Necklines The neckline of a knit sweater is achieved with shaping.
Linda will show you how to shape the best fitting necklines. Some necks, such as
a boat neck or square neck, don't require much shaping, while a v-neck and
round neck require decreases to achieve the desired look. The depth of the neckline is up to the knitter. Properly shaped necklines also make picking up stitches
easier for collars or additions to the neckline.

ribber is a separate needle bed that attaches to the knitting machine and has its
own separate carriage that attaches to the knit carriage so that both beds knit
simultaneously. Class covers any machine with ribber.

Bobbin Wrap Edging – Stop the edge from rolling without turning a hem.
Richard will demonstrate how to wrap the edges of your knits. This technique
can be sued on any knitting machine.
Understanding the Lace Carriage - How it works and how to use lace patterns
from your machine’s stitch library. The lace carriage is used to transfer stitches
according to the lace design. In some cases, the lace carriage both transfers and
knits, while in other cases, the lace carriage only transfers and then the knit carriage knits the row. Richard will make sure that you really understand how your
machine knits lace.
Garter Stitches on the Knitting Machine; Creative Neckbands with the
Garter Carriage. Dress up a neckband using seed stitch, garter stitch and
ribbed stitches for creative neckbands. Learn how to shape both sides of the
neck at the same time.
“Sweater Mapping” your project before you start; Getting on and off the
machine: Do you swatch and block, guess and pray or even wish… Check your
machine before you thread and begin your project; prepare a Road map but
don’t panic if there are detours along the way; Cast on and bind off thoughts:
(hem, shoulder, neck, waist, wrist, sleeve, top, bottom...) Planning the seams
and joins. Bring two swatches, yarn and tapestry needle for hands on
action in this class
Rhaelene
Wimberly
Knitting Wearable that really fit; Analyze the project: Honesty when knitting
wearables that need to fit - Are there bulges, dips, bumps/humps or uneven
areas to cover? Can you adjust a pattern when the chest or stomach is large/
small? Does the side seam hang straight? Rhaelene will show your things that
work when the problem is not ultra extreme.

Giftables From Easy Shapes: Know your machine’s ability: Shawls, throws,
hats and scarves are popular squares, triangles; rectangles, circles, hexagons
that are easy to make for easy gifting and charity knits. From spa cloths to
slippers, knitted jewelry, warm hands and heads, Rhaelene will cover them all.

Fearless, fixable, easy and sometimes fake: Buttonholes, pockets, edges,
cables, wimpy ribs, fringe. No ribber - no problem - use the tools you have for
edges to envy. “Knitgate” - disguising, accepting, and loving the cover up.
Questions - and sometimes even great answers!

Traveling Stitches, Bobbles & More - These stitches add effects that cannot
