CANCELLED: Knitting Happily Ever After - Ergonomics for Knitters (All Day Class) ~ Carson Demers

Description: Ever known a knitter who hasn’t said, “Just one more row?”  Me neither! In this class, you’ll learn how knitting effects the “fabric that makes the fabric” – your body, and see how your knitting technique impacts your efficiency and productivity. By completing a Risk of Injury assessment in class you’ll learn how knitting contributes to those aches and pains throughout your body. But more importantly, you’ll learn how to reduce them.  A little knowledge and some simple changes can keep you knitting comfortably and safely ever after.  Students who have taken this class have said that it should be “required learning for all knitters regardless of experience level!” and, “it’s as important as the knit and purl stitches!”  This class is taught by a passionate knitter who is also a physical therapist.  This class is not an individual knitting assessment.

Skill Level: Suitable for all levels of knitting experience.

Tools Needed:

Students are asked to bring a bath-sized towel, and materials to take notes of they wish to do so.  Bring a knitting project you can work on and analyze in class.

Homework: None

Materials Fee: None
