Knitting - Intro to Seamless Knits
Into the
Realms of the Round. If you’ve ever wanted to tackle seamless knitting and haven’t quite known where to start, this is the class for you.
Teacher: Georgie Hallam
Description: Why seamless knitting? It is the perfect modern day knitting style; no seaming means garments are finished quickly and can often be tried on as you knit.
An introduction to the basic elements of seamless knitting is given, along with some of that handy information it’s often assumed most knitters know; how to do a tension square and adjust your needles ~ both flat and for circular knitting how to calculate how many balls you need, how to choose the correct size, how to read a chart and how to read a pattern. In learning these techniques, knitters will begin working on a sweet vest for either a baby or a child using the Milo pattern (pattern supplied with class).
Materials: The pattern for this class, Milo, will be supplied. You will need to supply a 4mm 40cm circular needle and approximately 100g of 8ply/dk weight yarn.
Takeaway: A lack of fear regarding seamless knitting and the beginnings of a milo vest.
Level: Beginner knitters who can knit and purl.
Workshop Length: Half Day
So I wrote last week a post asking “Is my making fast fashion?”. And then I did a video on Instagram discussing similar topics in a slightly different way. And as always, you lovely humans have helped me clarify some of my thinking with your thoughtful, clever commentary.
And while I think there is so much more to discuss, here are four key possibly-more-meta ideas that have come up for me out of those conversations.
In using the quote last week that suggested that there was no single answer, and suggesting that this was freeing, I really did mean that we should sit in the grey. Not that the lack of “an” answer to this question should mean we get to ignore the question but rather that the lack of “an” answer means that we need to keep asking bigger more beautiful questions. And keep asking them.
Is my making fast fashion?
Am I living my values or merely thinking them?
And how can I make those two things a little more aligned in this moment?
These are my big beautiful questions.
Yours might be different.
And importantly this leads to point 2.
