The aim of the course is to produce a collection of how-to-do-it samples, developed to the point where you are able to complete a project with a Victorian twist at your own leisure. Glove-knitting can look complicated to the inexperienced knitter, but they can be knitted on either two needles or in the round on double-pointed kneedles – so don’t worry! All you need to take full advantage of this course is to be able to cast on and off, do knit and purl stitch and have an open mind to the possibilities. |
