Building Blocks Course Part 1 -  6 weeks

Improve your knitting skills one square at a time!  

A knitting series designed to grow your skills, by Michelle "Knit Purl" Hunter.

The Building Blocks series is designed to help knitter navigate through the major knitting skills, techniques and principles.  Each of the 6 patterns isolates a new skill.  In a carefully designed sequential approach, knitters master each technique before moving on to a more advance concept.  The techniques are supported by free online video tutorials containing detailed instruction.  This structured progression provides a straight path to success!

Every pattern in Building Blocks focuses on the development of a skill while knitting a lovely square.  Each square, or "block" builds upon the skills of the previous pattern, giving knitters more confidence and knowledge.  At the completion of the series, the reward is an abundance of knitting know-how along with 6 gorgeous blocks to assemble into a sampler baby blanket.  

 You will receive the Building Blocks booklet.   Skills covered in this course include:

- Knit/Purl   - Charts   -Yarn Over & Bobbles   - Simple Decreases   -Cables   -Right Twist  

You will need: 

- 5.0mm - 6.0mm 24" circular knitting needles

- 1,020 yards/936 metres of worsted weight yarn

Recommended yarn:  Simplicity by HiKoo, 55% merino superwash, 27% acrylic, 17% nylon; 117 yards/50 grams. You can purchase 10 balls of one colour for $55.00.

(Approximately $106 for complete blanket, both course 1 & 2 using Simplicity yarn)

Note:  Each class will take place in the studio and will be 1 1/2 hours in length.  Completion of the block will be necessary before the next class.  

Is a 6-week course too long of a commitment for you?  Then you can always take a one time workshop to learn a specific skill.  These workshops do not include the booklet, but it may be purchased separately.
