Twined Hat Class
Date(s): Wednesday, March 07, 2012
Venue: Knot Another Hat

Twining is also called "2-end knitting". It's an old Scandinavian knitting technique where both the inside of the skein and outside of the skein are intermittently used, twisting the stitches as you go. It's extremely soft and wind-resistant - and double thick. Perfect for windy, cold winters!

Knitters should be comfortable knitting, purling, and have knit at least one basic hat.

Session 1 Wed Mar 7 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Session 2 Wed Mar 14 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
