HANDS-ON VIRTUAL LIVE ZOOM WORKSHOP

Susan Adams - BSKnitting Designs
March 1 & 2, 2025
12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Follow-up: 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

An introduction from Susan:

“I came to Machine Knitting for what I perceived an “instant gratification” and stayed for the abundant creative possibilities.  Together with Barb Endler (my now passed away knitting partner).  I began BSKnitting Designs and started officially teaching.  First instructing at our club level and then traveling to seminars around the US.  After Barb’s passing I carried on with the teaching and designing that we both enjoyed so much and have been blessed to find solo teaching also rewarding. 

BSKnitting Designs’ unique style of teaching empowers the knitter with more in-depth knowledge of their machines and design possibilities.  Technique, technique, technique builds skill after skill which enables greater success in machine knitting. My desire is that you leave my class having progressed as a knitter – and having had fun in the learning.”

Susan will also have a range of her original patterns for sale. To view some of her designs, visit Susan’s Facebook page at https://facebook.com/NotableKnitsofCNY/

For our March 2025 Workshop, Susan is going to show us how to do ARAN KNITTING using a Japanese knitting machine, including a double-bed primer (setting up the ribber), reading Aran charts and strategic placement of Aran motifs, using plating to enhance the patterns and ideas for doing a single-bed version which looks similar for folks without ribbers.
