The
advanced class will dive deeper into the cable technique, and we will
learn how to knit cables without a cable needle, explore more
complicated cables and learn how fix cables without a cable needle.
During this course we will also discuss how cables affect the gauge and
what you need to take into consideration if you want to add cables into
existing patterns. 

About the teacher:

Sari
Nordlund is a professional knitwear designer from Finland. Her work has
been published in many of the prestigious knitting magazines, such as
Laine magazine, Pom Pom
Quarterly and Amirisu. Sari has also worked
as a freelance designer for leading yarn companies, including Woolfolk
and Brooklyn Tweed. Sari’s book “Softly - Timeless knits” came out in
October 2023 and it has been an instant bestseller.

Sari’s
designing work is inspired by Scandinavian minimalism and Nordic nature.
She loves to create timeless classics and brings her love for
contemporary Scandinavian design into her knitting patterns. Sari loves
knitting cables and all kinds of textured stitches using rustic natural
fibers in neutral colors, but doesn’t shy away from color work or lace
either. Her most popular knitting patterns are the Laulu shawl, the Poet
sweater, the Kuutar pullover and the Seleste pullover.

Required knowledge: basic
knit and purl stitches, basic increases (m1L, m1Lp, m1R and m1Rp),
basic decreases (k2tog, p2tog, ssk and ssp), basic cables, working
charts flat and in the round

Materials needed:

• small
  skeins of yarn for swatching. The yarns should be preferably DK or
  worsted weight, for example merino or other smooth fibers with good
  stitch definition in light, unicolor colorway so you can easily see your
  stitches

•  needles suitable for the
  yarn, for example 3 mm or 3.5 mm needles. I suggest using 40 cm cables,
  but you can choose DPNs or longer cables, such as you are comfortable
  making swatches with

• a cable needle or an extra DPN in the same size or slightly smaller
