Description: Are you interested in learning to use Knit Companion? The best way is to use it to knit a pattern that is complex enough to make it worthwhile learning the program. In this class you will learn how to create a project, set up charts to identify and count stitches, move the row counter, put notes in your project, and much more. And, at the same time, you will be knitting the Rose Lace Collar Shawl. This project is simple enough to complete in four weeks but complex enough to make you glad you have Knit Companion to help you manage it.
Each week there will be new things to learn about Knit Companion as well as things to consider about knitting lace as you knit the pattern. Since this is a ZOOM class, you will be able to see the instructor’s screen as she demonstrates knitting techniques and how to use Knit Companion.
