Versatile Cast-ons

     

Harry Wells

3 hour workshop: Saturday 9-12

 

Different projects require different types of cast-ons. Some projects need a stretchy cast-on, some need a cast-on that allows knitting in two directions, and some give decorative edges. This class will teach you a variety of cast-ons, including German Twisted, Rib, Invisible Provisional, Channel Island, Double Needle, Tubular (two methods) and Judy’s Magic Cast-on. Come discover new versatility in beginning your knitting projects.
