Don't Be A Square, Learn to Knit, Afghan Knit-Along, Block Six - Slip Step - Tuesday

6 Slip Stitch Step block_blog

If you know how to knit and purl but are ready for the next step this KAL (Knit-Along) is for you. We will be joining Universal Yarn and Amy Gunderson for this KAL and you will have the added benefit of hands on help from Heidi. Feel free to jump in any time, we will help you catch up, or you can pick up the blocks you missed at the end. Don't want an afghan? The blocks can be used as fingerless mitts or make them out of Cotton Supreme and use them as dishcloths.

Block Six, “Slip Step,” looks more complicated than it is, which I call the best kind of knitting.  It uses the same slip stitch technique as in Block Fivejust patterned a little differently.  You can totally do this!

Instructor - Heidi Narum

Supplies-
At least 4 colors of Uptown worsted or other worsted weight yarn. Color combination ideas. 2 balls of each color.

Don't Be A Square, Learn to Knit, Afghan Knit-Along, Block Five - Check It - Tuesday




If you know how to knit and purl but are ready for the next step this KAL (Knit-Along) is for you. We will be joining Universal Yarn and Amy Gunderson for this KAL and you will have the added benefit of hands on help from Heidi. Feel free to jump in any time, we will help you catch up, or you can pick up the blocks you missed at the end. Don't want an afghan? The blocks can be used as fingerless mitts or make them out of Cotton Supreme and use them as dishcloths.

Block Five is called “Check It” for obvious reasons – it uses slipped stitches to create a colorful checkerboard.  It’s a clever way to create blocks of color without a lot of picking up and dropping of yarn as you go.  As usual, Amy Gunderson has provided us with a video to demonstrate.
