Knitting

Billie began knitting at age 4.  Over the decades she has knit everything from slippers, afghans, jackets, sweaters, baby clothes to dishtowels. She is a retired educational consultant who worked with parents and teachers to bring learning toys to children in their most formative years.  She understands how life in our fast-paced town can lead one to  feel the need to multi-task.  Knitting  allows you to do just that!  You can have conversations or watch a film on Netflix while turning a piece of yarn into something useful, one stitch at a time.  But it's also very relaxing, once you're up to speed. Billie is a patient teacher who will ensure that you'll be knitting in no time.

In your first class you'll learn how to cast on, and do the knit and purl stitches.
If time permits, you'll also learn how to bind off.  Billie can help you select patterns to make things that will be at the right skill level for you.

Fantastic event! I learned to knit! And lovely picnic lunch in Central Park! Looking forward to lesson 2! Thanks Billie!

Many knitters shy away from the purl stitch.  Why?  With my method, purling is as smooth as doing the knit stitch.  

Smooth Purling

Welts are great features to add to cuffs or button bands or anywhere you want to have a professional finish to an edging.  Here I show how to pick up the stitches to be knitted together with a nearby row.

In 1927 Elsa Schiaparelli introduced her first line of handknits. The method used in her famous Bowknot sweater is referred to as the Armenian technique.  Floats are carried throughout, even in areas that could be knit as solid colors, creating a double-thick fabric where the floats are meant to show through.

Knitting with the Armenian technique

Bothered by the jagged edges often seen in intarsia knitting?  This method enables you to smooth out the edges whether you're shifting stiches from the left or the right.

If you want to knit in two directions, up and down, using a provisional cast on is your ticket! Here's an easy method to remove the waste yarn so you can pick up the stitches and knit the opposite way.
