TRADITIONAL CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES FORGANSEYS.

A small-scale sweater will be knitted using tradi-tional construction techniques, including the classic ChannelIsland cast-on, split welts, seam stitches, traditional knit/purlpatterns, the underarm gusset, shoulder straps with perpendi-cular joining, picked-up sleeves and neck gussets. Alternativemethods to these techniques will also be explored, as well asdesigning a gansey and discussing variations of the gusset,cast-ons and shoulder treatments.

A PERFECT FIT! Carla Scott.An overview of standard body measurements and how theyapply to knitted garments will be discussed.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

DESIGNING TOP-DOWN HATS. Cathy Carron.Knitting hats from the top down lets the knitter to simultaneouslyfit a hat as well as design it along the way. We will discussoverall hat design and then segue into the merits of theseamless form.

Catherine will guide workshopparticipants as they learn the techniques, explore their application anddiscover how to adapt commercial patterns for their use. These tech-niques include the use of selvages for garment construction, picking upand knitting down stitches, joinery for construction and as a design ele-ment, and couture finishes for garment edges.

DESIGNING TOP-DOWN GARMENTS.Cathy Carron.Knitting a garment in one piece from top down without seamsis not only an elegant way to form a garment but also reducesthe amount of finishing at the end, resulting in a polished piece.Designing top-down knits, however, requires that the knitter re-think the human body form, i.e. how to get from here (the neck)to there (the hem). The basic underlying math will be explained(it ’s simple!) and although necessary, it is not the emphasis ofthe course.

SHAPING THE SILHOUETTE AND DECORATIVE “FULLFASHIONING.” Fiona Ellis.Fiona will focus not only on the methods of increasing anddecreasing stitches used to change the shape of a piece, butalso on how these stitches can be used to create decorativeeffects within the fabric itself.

SHORT ROWS FOR SHAPING AND BEYOND.Fiona Ellis.Want to knit ’round corners with confidence? Fiona will showyou how to work the short-row method for shoulder and bust dartshaping. She will show you how to use the technique as a tool fordesigning stunning patterns and not just for shaping silhouettes.

SHORT ROWS FOR SHAPING AND GRAPHIC DESIGN.Laura Bryant.Short rows, the act of working a partial row and then turning, offeramazing possibilities for shape knitting and for stunning graphiceffects.

Mari Lynn Patrick.By using the same methods in which she was studio-trained,Mari Lynn will demonstrate how to expand and improve yourdesign technique by first writing out your design into completeinstructions before beginning to knit. She will bring in severalexamples of the design process, from sketch to schematic to thefinished garment.


CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

If you want to find out about side-to-sideknitting, this is the perfect class for you. Sideways knitting allowsfor knitting stripes, using tons of colors, placing a line of texture,and creating vertical (not unflatteringly horizontal) Fair Isle.

GRADING KNITTING PATTERNS: CUSTOM FITTING.APPROACHES. Véronik Avery.Anyone wishing to begin a career in knitting design needsto know how to grade patterns—that is, needs to know howto write a pattern in several sizes. Learn how to generate arange of sizes from your initial sample, and then use thisknowledge to custom-fit patterns.

PATTERN DRAFTING.Sally Melville.Whether or not you will ever “design your own,” patterndrafting is an important skill: It helps you understand whatyou are doing while following a pattern, allows you to modifyparts of a pattern as needed, and just makes you a moreaccomplished and intuitive knitter. In addition, you’ll makegarments that suit you, that fit, and that can be worn proudly!How wonderful is that—and what a way to honor your craft!This workshop will cover hourglass and A-line shapes, as wellas the saddle shoulder.

ALL LEVELS WELCOME

KNIT TO FLATTER AND FIT.Sally Melville.A knitter who spends the time and energy to make her ownclothes should be rewarded with a result that makes her happyand proud. But too often, the knitter chooses the wrong pattern,or chooses the right pattern but follows the directions withoutquestioning them, or makes the rightgarment but wears it with the wrong thing. There are a few sim-ple rules for successful knitting: Start with styles that flatter, knit fora personalized fit, and then wear it with something that makes itlook wonderful! This workshop covers all these decisions andputs the power for successful results into your competent hands.
