In this course, we’ll learn the basics of Eastern (previously known as Russian) knitting style as well as differences between Eastern and the Classic knitting. We’ll talk about ways to adjust stitch patterns for Eastern style and even a way to switch between the Eastern and the Classic knitting styles in the same project.
As a bonus, we’ll see how we can knit back and forth without turning our work, and we’ll knit a simple shawlette together using the Eastern way of knitting.
It is a self-paced course, so you can work on it on your own time without any pressure or deadlines.
As a member of the club, you can read and watch the course materials any time on any device as many times as you like.
