Lily Chin is a Master Knitter, has won titles as the world’s fastest crocheter, and has been designing in knits for a quarter of a century! Her books have been staples on the shelves of yarn enthusiasts, from ‘The Urban Knitter’, to several tomes on afghans, ‘The Power Cable’, and more. We’re thrilled to have her in the Studio for a master class in the beginning of March, Cabled Join As You Go.
This join-as-you-go method will give you a mock-cable effect, with no sewing required! If you’re working in different colors for a garment, afghan, or accessory, this is technique will infuse your pattern with some extra color. And it looks like a million bucks! It’s simple to do, but looks complex, and will have you wondering how you’ve never thought of it before.
There’s a bit of homework for this class – please see below!
Tuition: $75 / 3 Hour Session
Yarn: Bring yarn & needles used for homework swatches as well as 2 additional colors of the same weight.
Accessories: Clover bamboo Knitting Repair Hooks, available at Lion Brand Yarn Studio

Is this an online class? I assumed so but am uncertain now. I’m in Chicago. I have others who are very interested also in taking the class. What time zone, eastern I am assuming

Wish this was an on line class and more affordable for those of us on fixed incomes.
I agree with Laurie
Could you post this class on an on-line website?
