Workshop “traditional knowledge”: tricot (knitting)/ first lesson

R-URBAN ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE 05 / DANIELA DOSSI 

“What does ‘knitting’ mean ?”

This was the first question the course leader Lyne asked to the group during the first lesson of atelier tricot. On Sunday October 6th about 10 participants took part in the  Atelier Tricot for beginners at Agrocite. Different yarns (wool and cotton) and needles n.4 were available as materials to be  explored. During the first lesson Lyne explained the basic steps for knitting and showed the point mousse as starting technique.

Here the first outcomes:

The lessons are by free donation ( the collected money will be used to buy new material for the course).

The aim of this first serie of lessons for beginners is to realize a scarf and to create together a manual for knitting with details about  materials, instructions, points and techniques.
