Casting Off with Style -
Now that you’ve finished the knitting, what cast off will you use? There are many to choose from, so we’ll explore a variety of methods that are useful in different situations. Here are the materials you’ll need to bring with you to get the most out of this class: 6 pre-made swatches (1 in k1, p1 rib, 1 in k2, p2 rib, 1 in garter st, 3 in stockinette st) in a smooth sport or worsted weight yarn, 20 stitches by about 2 inches (put the stitches on a piece of waste yarn once the swatch is made); the knitting needles you used, and a tapestry needle.

*Using Japanese charts in Western knitting patterns (1 hour) $20

Maybe you’ve taken Takako’s class on translating Japanese patterns (but it’s not a prerequisite for this class). So how about using those charts to knit an American pattern? I’ll show you how to chart your written pattern so you can see where you are with a glance (rather than reading through paragraphs). Working a pattern this way also increases your ability to move back and forth between Japanese and Western patterns.
