Beginners must be able to demonstrate mastery of each skill in order for the first 4 lessons. Supplemental topics that build on these fundamental skills may be selected as desired upon successful completion of Lessons 1-4. 

The 2nd lesson in our Learn to Knit Continental series will start with a review of skills learned in Lesson 1 and introduces following patterns and the purl stitch. Purling is the skill needed to create the reverse of the knit stitch. The alternating combinations of knitting and purling are endless. The core of every knitter's basic skills is to be able to change between knitting and purling to create stockinette stitch.

Homework following Lesson 2 is to complete the swatch started in the lesson and a project as approved by the instructor. Lesson 3 may be scheduled upon successful completion of the homework from Lesson 2.

About the Instructor 

Josh Steger began his journey as a fiber artist at a young age when he learned to knit, crochet, and sew. Josh always felt inspired by yarn and what you can make with it. It was a natural progression when he started to dye wool, spin it into yarn, and ultimately, create surface designs. In 2013, Josh formally launched his fiber arts studio, Icon Fiber Arts, as a part buds ‘n bloom. Josh's experience as an instructor is well rounded. He formerly worked for United Healthcare in Green Bay as a Trainer and Learning Specialist. He has taught classes for Traveling Treadlers Fiber Arts Guild and the Bay Lakes Knitting Guild. He also provides one on one instruction for knitting, crochet, weaving, felting, hand spinning, and dyeing.
