Garment Calculations and Construction - Machine Knitting Workshop
Become used to the knitting machine, know how to knit out some gorgeous samples and textures but no idea how to translate them into garments? This three hour workshop could be right up your street.
Within this session, you will learn how to take a reliable tension count from a swatch and you will learn how to calculate to knit to an exact shape. Whether this is for a garment, or another shaped piece, we will work through all shaped areas, calculating the exact increase or decrease rate.
This will be perfect to knit out any garment with shaping. We will also cover neckline shaping and how to knit them, different sleeve shapes and even finishings of garments.
Not only is this to be used for machine knitting, but this workshop can also be applicable for hand knitting also. If there is a specific swatch you wish to turn into a garment, please bring this along with you.
I have both Silver Reed and Brother machines available for you to use, however you are more than welcome to bring your own.
You will already need to know the basics of casting-on and working the machine for this workshop as it is not a beginners workshop.
Workshops will run on site from 6pm - 9pm so the perfect new hobby for that weekday evening. Please also note, the Useless Studio Assistant may join, so there may be a dog in the workshop. Other dogs are welcome if you wish to bring yours, please just let me know in advance.
Parking is available on site.
Returning customers for workshops will receive 10% off their next workshop.
