This is an intermediate class. Students must have proficiency with the Oslo stitch and joining rows.
Join Laura Ninnemann for our first intermediate Nålbinding class, March 6th!
In this class you will be learning new Nåbinding skills! Students will learn the circular start, increasing to create the crown, decreasing, bottom edge finishing options, and a new set of her tips and tricks to make your nålbinding easier and more enjoyable… including how to count to avoid misplaced increases.
Students will also explore ways of using two or more colors. This will allow you to turn odds and ends of yarn into one-of-a-kind creations. And you’ll also be combining two different stitches to create additional texture and interest. Join the fun this March 6th and sign up for Intermediate Nålbinding!
