Knitting Building Blocks Part B
Are you ready to expand your knitting skills? In the “Building Blocks for Knitting Class, each week we will explore a new knitting technique from knit/purl textures, cables, bobbles, and lace - oh my! By the end of the series, students will have created twelve sampler blocks which may be joined into a cozy throw.
Skill Requirements – This class is designed for students who are solidly comfortable with casting on, knitting, and purling stitches flat.
Materials List

Homework
Feel free to swatch with your yarn prior to the first class in a stockinette stitch pattern, if desired. (Stockinette swatch: cast on 24 stitches, then alternate knitting a row then purling a row for approximately 4 inches, bind off.) Bring your swatch to the first class, and we can chat briefly about gauge, fabric, and needle size. Exact gauge is not crucial for this project.
