Franklin Habit: History, Methods and Styles of Lace Knitting
In this three-hour session, we’ll examine the fundamental principles and techniques of knitting's grandest tradition. Students will learn about the history of lace knitting, and the
development of the art in three parts of the world (Russia, Estonia, and the Shetland Islands) in which the craft was developed to the highest level of artistry. We will not only discuss, but practice and play with some of the methods and motifs that distinguish each of these traditions.
Pre-requisites: Participants must be fluent in the basics of lace knitting, including working from charts.
