Using my Brother KH-230 and KR-230 'bulky' knitting machines we will work through the basics of creating knitted textiles.
The knitting machine is a really amazing tool to develop all kinds of knitted materials. The knitting machine allows you to knit row-by-row rather than one loop at a time. This creates the opportunity to make more progress in a short amount of time, and make textiles on a larger scale.
The lessons can be adapted to individual needs whether you're interested in knitting sweaters, hats, and socks; developing your own innovative textile structures and designs; or making unique fine art creations.
Depending on the student's skill level, the course would likely begin by working through various knitting techniques such as casting on and off, rehanging stitches, creating twisted cables, and ribbing stitches. This would allow the student to develop a swatch collection over time for future reference. The intention with these lessons would be to develop an overall understanding of knitting structure, development, and construction.
Based on these foundational skills, the student would eventually have the opportunity to work on a larger project of their choosing such as a garment or work of art.
