It's MAGIC

There are a couple of “magic” techniques that can add so much to our knitting. In this workshop we are going to explore all the ways we can use two amazing magics: Magic Loop and Judy’s Magic Cast On. We will learn how we can work circularly making any circumference without going to double pointed needles. You’ll be able to make sleeves, hats, socks or any small item in the round. Next we will explore the many uses of Judy’s magic cast on. Although many have heard of this cast on for a toe starter, did you also know it can be used for an amazing provisional cast on (keeping the stitches live) as well as the greatest tubular cast on ever! Come on, add a little magic to your knitting!

Skill Prerequisite:

Should know how to knit, purl, cast on, bind off. Experience in one other method of working in the round helpful. Some passing knowledge of magic loop helpful.

Although I have a moderate amount of experience with knitting in the round with magic loop, Patty's advice on remembering little nuiances will perferct my stitch tension. I especially enjoyed learning Judy's magic cast on for provisional. So many exciting opportunities await using that technique. I will be taking more classes from Patty in the future.
