Tuck Stitch Cowl on the Bulky Knitting Machine - Instructor: Jason Wurst Date: Saturday 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Max: 4 Min Age: 12 Class Fee: $45 Materials fee payable to instructor: $30
Make a designer scarf or cowl on the knitting machine with a textured tuck design similar to lace. A past class participant said this was the softest cowl she had ever touched. Learn about appropriate weights of yarn for machine knitting, knitting machine lubrication, casting on, use of weights, hanging a hem, binding off, and seaming.
Any bulky knitting machine with patterning capability can be used. Beginner machine knitters are welcome but the machine must be in working order. Participants without a machine are welcome to register and observe only. Observers will be given the chance to knit some rows on the instructor's machine.
Students should bring:
Participants need to bring: - Any bulky 9mm knitting machine with punchcard patterning in working condition. (Tuck stitch can be done on a non-patterning machine but takes longer and will not be finished in the allotted time.) Machine must be in working condition, repairs will not be done in class. Ribber attachment not required. Participants are encouraged to bring a knitting machine stand or table suitable for clamps because some of the tables provided at the event are not suitable for clamps. Instructor will bring one extra machine and table
Materials Fee: $35 fee will include pattern handouts and merino worsted yarn wound onto a cone. Extra punchcards will be available to purchase separately.
