Knowing how to knit lace work opens up so many possibilities - gorgeous shawls, edges, lace panels. 

Teacher: Ophelie Lechat

Workshop Duration: Full Day

Description:  Learn to knit beautiful lace projects in this full-day workshop. We will create a lace cowl/scarf, perfect for those still-chilly days just before summer.

Students will learn to work a provisional cast-on, read a lace knitting chart, work yarn-overs and directional decreases, and select a fibre and yarn for their next projects.

Materials:  50g of heavy laceweight yarn (Shibui Cima is highly recommended, available at Sunspun and Woolarium), a set of 3mm 100cm Addi Lace circular needles (Addi Lace is mandatory, as other needles aren’t as well suited to working with fine yarn and lace patterns). 

Takeaway: By the end of the workshop, students will be confident with lace knitting techniques, and will have started work on their own lace project. 

Level: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate.  Students should be confident with knitting basics: knitting, purling, decreases, following a written pattern.
