Talks and Workshop Subjects

1. Ribbing & Double bed work

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.
2. Skirts
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.
3. Patterning by Hand Selection
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.
4.Tuck & Slip for Single & Doublebed Fabrics
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).
5. Lace & Lace Effects
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.
