The first series of Knitting Classes started mid-January in Sidmouth. Ruth was invited to teach some basic ‘learn to knit’ classes by ‘Caprafibre’ owner, Marjorie. Accompanied with Ruth each week was another member of Knit2tog group to provide assistance.
We met in Grant’s Brasserie in Sidmouth and sat together around some tables and had some excellent teaching from Ruth to eager ladies (with coffee, tea, hot chocolate).
Besides the basics, Ruth drew on her wealth of understanding and knowledge in knitting and pattern design, and answered problems that arose. The course consisted of:
- casting on methods
- knit stitch, purl stitch, ribs, patterns, creating a textile
- increasing and decreasing (different methods)
- cable stitch
- knitting on 2 needles, 4 /5 needles and circular needles
- casting off methods and grafting.
- and basic patterns created by Ruth to practice what was learned.
Ruth’s friendly and thorough teaching was much appreciated. The result is that another knitting group has started from these classes.
