About this event
DATES: Oct 5, 6 Instructor: Elaine Shen In this class, students will learn the basics of machine knitting on their own individual Brother 864 standard gauge knitting machine. Students will learn the cast on and cast off processes, how to get a finished edge, how to increase and decrease, and garment finishing. Students will walk away with a finished project. Examples of past projects include: socks, tank tops, a hat, and a scarf. -- Our classes are designed to focus on a learned skill rather than a final product. At TAC, our mission is to provide skills and knowledge for a lifetime! All materials for sample making and learning the technique are included. Any additional materials will need to be supplied by the student based on their vision. Intensive students have access to Open Studio time for free during the class and for up to a week after the class to put their new knowledge to practice.
