Machine Knitting Techniques Workshop

Taking a machine knitting techniques workshop will ensure your garments look professionally made.

Machine Knitting has been part of my adult life and although I don’t knit as much as I used to, I still machine knit and love to teach.

I’m teaching a Machine Knitting Techniques Workshop to a group of knitters in Omemee and have been making samples like crazy!  3 kinds of buttonholes, different methods of casting on, pockets, a few trims, “join-as-you-go” and even putting in a zipper.

My notes are carefully re-written and I’m ready to go. It’s a hands-on kind of workshop and that’s the way I like it.  Here are some photos of the machine knitting techniques we’ll cover:

It promises to be a great day in a machine knitting techniques workshop, fun, and friendship.

Do you, or someone you know own and use a knitting machine? 

Is there a machine knitting guild in your area?  If you’re within a few driving hours of Trenton Ontario, I could teach YOUR group, too.
