Learn the Magic Loop Technique and Knit a Headband for Advanced Beginner *In-Person* *NEW*

This short course is the next step for students who have completed the Knitting for Beginners class or for those who feel comfortable casting on, knitting, and purling. Our primary objective for this course will be learning and practicing the Magic Loop technique which was first made popular in 2002 and is one of the best and most useful ways to knit small circumferences (e.g., mittens, socks, sweater sleeves, baby hats). We will use this technique to knit a practical and cozy twisted headband that will keep your (or your friend's) noggin warm for winter! 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.
