you’ll learn how to knit simple lace & knit a simple market bag
This class is all about learning to knit very simple lace while making an exceptionally practical project - a classic knit market bag! It’s a really versatile and eco friendly item that will last you for a long time - you can take it grocery shopping, to a farmers market or even to a beach. It will help you cut down on using plastic bags, fitting into sustainable living values and will make a lovely gift for an eco conscious friend.
This class is a great introduction to knitting lace - you’ll practice the basic stitches involved in lace knitting on a very simple stitch, and you’ll be able to take those skills and work more complex lace in your next projects like summer tops or shawls, more confidently.
This class is created for knitters who are familiar with the basics - advanced beginners and beyond. While I show the process of making the bag step by step, you’ll follow most comfortably and you’ll take most from the class if you’ve had some knitting experience beforehand. If you’re a total beginner, I recommend you take one of my intro classes first!
