Making Friends with the Internet and Gauge
This class is a Beginner Plus class- You don’t need to know everything but you do need to know how to knit or crochet
This class uses internet sites like Ravelry and other websites to help you do things like track your stash, find out about yarns and do substitutions in your knitting. You might be surprised what you can do with your computer, tablet or phone! The second part of this session will go into detail about gauge: how to measure it, how to use the numbers to get garments to fit, and why you should swatch.
Finished Project: There is no project for this class but you WILL use the skills you learn to make your projects better.
Skills Needed: Some degree of computer literacy, connection to the internet, and it doesn’t hurt to have an account on Ravelry.
Skills you will gain: Familiarity with Ravelry and other websites. Knowledge of how gauge is measured and calculated. What to do if your gauge is different than the pattern suggests.
Supplies: Feel free to bring your tablet or phone if you want to try searches yourself.
If you’d like to try a gauge swatch in class, bring one skein or ball of worsted or dk yarn and needles of any type in two different sizes as suggested by the yarn ball band.
At least 1 skein of class yarn must be purchased from Fox River Fibers. All supplies purchased for the class will be 10% off. Printed and electronic pattern will be provided.
