Knit Companion and Twisted Stitch Mitts via ZOOM, class 3 of 4

Day/Date/Time: Wednesdays, 11/6, 11/13, 11/20, and 12/4/2024 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm ET. This class meets 4 times.

Description: There are so many aspects of Knit Companion that one project can’t use them all. The Knit Companion class will use Cherie’s Twisted Stitch Mitts as the project for teaching Smart Counters, Chart Templates, Chart Row Repeats, Reminders, Shaping Counters, and more. We’ll also be reviewing some of the features.

Required Supplies/Equipment/Books:

• Two of the following digital devices: a Windows PC or Mac computer, an iPad or Android tablet, a smart phone. One will be used to connect to ZOOM, the other to work on Knit Companion. If a phone is one device, use it for ZOOM.
• An internet connection.
• The up-to-date ZOOM app downloaded on both devices.
• The full version of Knit Companion with set up+essentials upgrade. The free version does not include the features we will be using. Download the free version from the Apple app store or Google Play for Windows, then upgrade to setup + essentials from within the program.
