In Part Two, participants are introduced to the techniques, challenges and joys of stitch pattern work while knitting the pieces of a woman's v-neck cardigan; completion of the garment is at each knitter's own pace and completion within the course period is not expected although homework is required.
During the course of garment execution, participants learn :
to read charted knitting using the simplified European method of charting stitches; to execute simple and complex right and left directional twists; techniques for working with multiple stitch patterns; the importance of gauging rows when working multiple stitch patterns; achieving uniform gauge while using stitches with varying dimensions; maintaining pattern work while decreasing for shape.
Intermediate knitters are exposed to the various methods of reading cabled knitting--row by row, American and European charted instructions as well as pictorial instructions--as an integral component of this course.
Throughout the duration of this Class, concepts in adjusting prepared patterns to fit varying individual gauges and adjusting patterns to fit are discussed as are the concepts necessary for substituting stitches without the need to alter the garment pattern.
Other topics discussed in detail include: fibre differentiation and fibre selection; how yarn twist enhances cabling; needle sizing and selection; tension sampling and the necessity for accurate body measurement.
Suggestions for yarn selection are offered; the yarns available for participants are as wide-ranging as are the personalities of the class participants.
Participants in Part Two are not required to have completed Part One (Intarsia) as the two parts of Intermediate Knitting are complementary and alternative courses but are expected to possess the skills set taught in Introductory Knitting.
