How Do You Learn At A Knitting Party?
A knitting party is a great opportunity to learn new techniques. You catch on easier when you can see someone doing it in person. The atmosphere at a knitting party is relaxed and noncompetitive, which is better for learning. Whether you knit for charity or for fun, make your next party a learning experience for everyone by following these steps. Assess the skill level of those attending your knitting party. A knitter who’s just learned to do knit and purl stitches probably won’t do well with cables. Tailor the learning to the skill level of your guests. Ask your guests if there’s something special they’d like to learn. Offer options like lace, cables, mosaic and intarsia and see what reactions you get. If everyone gives the nod for a particular technique, you’ve got a great subject to introduce at your party. Invite a knitting teacher to spend an hour on the technique if it’s one you don’t know yourself. Your local yarn shop is a great resource. You can also find knitting teachers at
