If You Can Knit a Triangle, You Can Make Anything
If You Can Knit a Triangle, You Can Make Anything with Margaret Radcliffe
Learn a clever but simple approach to designing on the needles as you knit, starting with a triangle and progressing to simple modular structures. You’ll get hands-on practice in necessary techniques, including methods of increasing and decreasing, picking up stitches, and planning projects from scarves, shawls, and blankets, to vests and sweaters. Discover this inspiring way to make any size you like, with any needles and any yarn, at any gauge. Note that there will be homework to complete before the first class. Instructions will be available on the Class Materials page once you have registered.
