10a – 1p: Almost Saintly Knitting (So Holey!): Knitting Holes & Negative Spaces

Experience: Intermediate

Description: It’s been an ongoing source of fascination to me as to how to capture significant quantities of nothingness in larger than traditional lace holes, within knitting. We’ll take a look at a series of different methods of making holes and how they can be employed to give a variety of effects. We’ll look at using waste yarn to create holes, and the versatility of the scallop hole which may be used for an all over fabric, for detailing, as a method for increasing and decreasing. How to handle multiple yarn overs and create new stitches. Even if you don’t currently plan to make holes in your knitting, there are many useful mainstream spinoffs for these techniques.

Supplies:  Sport or worsted weight yarns in at least three bright solid colors. Needles to suit your yarn. A crochet hook and your usual knitting paraphernalia.

Homework: Come prepared to have fun and not follow the rules.
