Cable Knitting Skills Workshop

About this experience

Class Schedule: Sunday, November 22, 3:00-5:00 pm

Instructor: Elizabeth Fleitz

This class is one session long. Please ensure you are available for the session before booking your spot. See cancellation policy below. 

Ready to take your knitting beyond the basics? In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of knitting cables without committing to an entire cabled project.

We’ll work through a series of cable techniques on a practice swatch, learning how to read cable instructions and charts, use a cable needle, and create a variety of simple cable designs. You’ll also learn tips for keeping your cables neat and how to troubleshoot common mistakes.

This class is a great way to build confidence with cables and add a new skill to your knitting toolbox—all while creating a swatch you can keep as a reference for future projects.
