Price: $25.00 per person – the class fee includes materials.
Dates: Saturday, October 25th 1:00pm – 3:00pm
Skill Level Required: Basic Knitting Skills (cast on; knit; purl; bind off)
This class will welcome the students to the wonderful and fun world of magical knitting…or moebius knitting. The following skills will be covered: the unique cast on, which is done on a long circular needle, doubled, key to the moebius structure; the method of knitting the first row of the scarf which will result in the moebius form. This is not simply twisting stitches on a circular join – which results in a 360 degree twist and has a distinct cast on and bind off edge – this wonderful structure creates a 180 degree twist (much nicer to wear) and one edge that is both the cast on and bind off edge. Once you learn the basic technique, the world is your oyster!
