About Your Instructor:
By day, Carson is a physical therapist who runs an ergonomics program for a San Francisco Bay Area medical center. Every other moment, he’s knitting, spinning, designing, teaching, or otherwise up to some fiber fun with a watchful eye toward ergonomics. His passion and experience in fiber arts combine with his expertise in physical therapy and ergonomics to create a unique skill set that he eagerly shares with the fiber community to keep us all creating healthfully ever after.
FF2014 - Carson Demers - KnittRx
Knitting is not a “no pain, no gain” activity. Yet many of us take better care of our favorite stash fiber than we do the fibers that allow us to knit—our bodies. Tired muscles, sore joints, and aching backs and necks needlessly plague too many knitters. This class will teach you fun ways of “fiber care” for the most important project you make—YOU! Don’t let the preventable keep you from doing what you love. Knit on, safely and comfortably!
Students will be working on StevenBe's newest Spring creation, the "Springtime in Manhattan Cowl" as Carson guides your ergonomics. NEW Pattern is included with your class.
Materials:
- 2 to 3 skeins of Quince & Co. Sparrow (100% linen) for a colorful creation
- US 6 or 7, 32" circular. We recommend the expert tip and ergonomics of Square needles.
Students are asked to bring materials to take notes if they wish to do so.
Class is suitable for all levels of knitting experience.
