Join us as we explore the fascinating realm of freeform knitting. We will discuss some of the many ways to freeform knit, such as knitting fragments and joining them together (known as Scrumbles), adding to an existing piece using a variety of stitches, yarns, and needle sizes, joining various yarns together and knitting intuitively, or adding surface embellishments such as beads, crochet pieces, felted pieces, or embroidery.
Students must have a basic knowledge of knitting. We will work on a small rectangle to get familiar with freeform knitting. From there you can decide to make a small handbag, wall hanging, or a piece of wearable art.
