Get a taste of Estonian knitting by making a wristlet showcasing four traditional techniques. This workshop is an introduction to Estonian knitting exploring knit fringe, knit braids, bobbles, and roosimine inlay knitting. We will travel across Estonia learning these different techniques that are much easier than they look. A great way to get to grips with many of the techniques covered in Aleks Byrd’s book Traditions Revisited: Modern Estonian Knits.

Students will learn:

Estonian Pärnumaa knit fringe

Knit braids: Kihnu vits & Twisted braid

Nupp bobble

Vikkel lateral braid

Roosimine inlay knitting

SKILL LEVEL: intermediate knitter ; students should be comfortable to knit and purl in the round with two colours at a time (easy colourwork), reading from charts, cast-on, bind -off

***This class is 6 hours of instruction with one 60 minute break***
