Drawing On Your Knitting With Cables – 6 Jan to 24 Feb 2025
6 January 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 24 February 2025 @ 8:00 pm
This is a weekly online (Zoom) workshop.
To kick off the new year The Loom Shed will be joining knitwear designer, Emma Vining to explore drawing on your knitting with cable stitches. Together we’ll knit a Little Leaf Cable Cowl over four one-hour zoom sessions, learning the techniques to customise the cowl pattern with texture, twisted stitches and reverse side cables. You can use the recommended yarns, or yarn that you have in your stash.
Participants are invited to knit along as part of a supportive, friendly online group, or to knit the cowl at their own pace if preferred.
The four session dates are January 6th 2025, January 20th 2025, February 3rd 2025 and February 24th 2025, 7pm-8pm.
Participants will receive the Little Leaf Cable Cowl pattern before the first session. Emma will then introduce a new leaf stitch pattern at each session with charted and written instructions provided. These instructions are fully compatible with the Little Leaf Cable Cowl pattern allowing participants to mix and match their stitch patterns. The remainder of each session will include a demonstration of the relevant knitting techniques and a group discussion, with an opportunity to share progress and ask questions. A recording of each session will also be made available.
