This
a technique which is very under used. To most machine knitters
the term Ribbing means welts, neckbands and cuffs. To the more
experienced knitter doublebed fairisle or perhaps double bed tuck
stitch can be quite an adventure. In the simple stages,
variations on a plain rib such as cable or racking for the welts
would open up new horizons. Ribbed skirts with many different
needle formations; double bed Jacquard with different textured
backgrounds and Slip or Tuck stitch with special needle
formations. The permutation are endless. Suitable for an
interesting Talk and/or a very informative Workshop.
Sideways,
Panelled, Pleated & Ribbed Skirts are a few of the many ways
to knit skirts and all have variations with fairisle, tuck, slip
stitch and weaving added to make interesting effects. Suitable
for an interesting Talk and/or Workshop.
This
subject can be very interesting and rewarding, most people think
if you have an automatic patterning device such as the punchcard
or electronics that hand selection is unnecessary, this of course
is quite untrue. The way to work out an automatic pattern is
often done by hand selection and many other textures can be
developed this way. Suitable for an interesting Talk.
This
is a very interesting subject, with more detailed instruction on
how to produce beautiful fabrics in Tuck & Slip stitch with
advice on using them the "Cut & Sew" method.
Suitable for a Talk and/or a very interesting Workshop. (Suitable
for a Two day Workshop).
Understanding
how to use your lace carriage and make up your own designs. The
difference between the Punch/Thread Lace, Flat, Fine &
Fashion Lace. The Lacey effects of needles out of work and short
row knitting. This is a very interesting subject for a Talk and
Workshop.
This
is where you learn to use Charting devices (Knitleader -
Knitradar - Knit Tracer etc), working with colour and textured
Fabrics. Ideal for both Talk & Workshop.
The
