DESIGN AND KNIT A BALTIC MITT!
Split over two days, a week apart. Make your own unique traditional mittens - either fingerless or full. Step into the world of design in a very satisfying way. Demystify charts. Learn the Kihnu Troi cast on and how to knit Vits and vikkel braids. Suitable for advanced, intermediate or very confident beginner knitters who can knit in the round. Students to supply their own yarn and needles. It is also useful to have a tablet or phone camera in order to take a pic of the various stitches you might want to use from the Stitchionaries - but not essential. No current workshops planned, but I can be booked! |
