Fast, fun, and definitely different. This practical one day workshop will introduce you to the wildly exciting technique of Big Knitting and its application for interior textiles. The workshop focuses on freeing up your approach to this traditional craft. It will give you lots of inspiration and new ideas. Your imagination is guaranteed to run riot after a day of learning about Big Knitting. Rugs, cushions, throws, curtains - you name it, it's now within your grasp. The resulting textiles are sturdy, washable and deeply comfortable to use.
You will be able to learn about:
- Multi strand knitting
- The use and control of colour
- Try out alternative materials which you may not have considered knitting with before
- Get to grips with the use of bigger needles
- Create a couple of pieces of Big Knitted fabric by the end of the day to use in whatever way you want
- See examples of Ingrid's Big Knit collection for the interior
Skill level: You only need to know how to cast on and off, and knit in plain and purl. There are no complicated stitches. It couldn't be easier or more fun. If you are a complete beginner, don't worry. We'll teach you all you need to know. If you are an experienced knitter, Big Knitting will give you a new challenge.
Materials: A wide variety of yarns & additional materials will be provided. Needle sizes used in the workshop: 400mm & 600mm length, 25 diameter. Please note that these will be available for you to buy, if you wish, at the end of the day.
