In this two hour class you will learn to knit textured fabrics without picking up a cable needle with knitwear designer Rebecca Clow AKA The CreaBea. Many of Rebecca’s designs use ingenious combinations of stitches to provide rich textures, such as her Kip and Staffin sweaters.
You will learn how to combine simple techniques to make fabrics that look like they are cabled or woven, without needing anything more than a pair of knitting needles and some yarn. By the end of the class you will have a selection of swatches and ideas to incorporate in your future knitting projects or designs.
