The Math of Knitting: Yarn, gauge and substitutions

Saturday, July 18, 3-5pm

Every pattern is built with specific materials and tools, but your tension and yarn options might be different! 

In this class, you'll have a guided tour around the yarn shop, discuss how gauge plays a critical role in needlework, and learn how to successfully substitute one yarn for another. 

Feel free to bring a pattern and materials to cast on and start a gauge swatch, but please note: this class is more about theory than practice (i.e. no knitting instruction).

Minimum experience level: Confident beginner. 

Materials:

• Notebook (or paper) and writing utensil  
• A pattern of your choice (optional). You may bring the materials indicated in the pattern, but there is no direct knitting instruction.
