Knitting for Advanced Beginners *In-Person*

This course is the next step for students who have completed the Knitting for Beginners class or for those who feel fairly comfortable knitting, purling, increasing, and decreasing. Our primary objective for this course will be learning and practicing the Magic Loop technique and knitting two or three accessories: a headband, a pair of mittens, and a triangular scarf. Students will review basic skills as needed, practice reading and following patterns, and learn to fix common mistakes. Knitting outside of class will be helpful to develop skills and to complete more projects. Instructor: Laura Broach

Laura Broach is a Cambridge Public School teacher who has been passionate about knitting for almost her entire life. Her favorite yarns are natural fibers, like alpaca and merino, and she especially loves discovering beautiful hand-dyed yarns. Her favorite colors to use are blue and green – and sometimes a pop of orange. Her favorite items to knit are sweaters, socks, hats, shawls, and mittens; and she wears only hand-knit socks in the winter. Finally, her favorite places to knit are boats, trains, and planes; on the beach; on her patio or porch; and, most often, on her sofa with her labradoodle Luca curled up nearby.
