At the March meeting we looked at different stitch techniques by the designer Bill King.
We chose to look at single bed work only. All involved hand manipulation of stitches and a discussion followed of where these patterns could be used. Various difficulties were discussed as to yarn and tension required for moving several stitches at once.
It was a very interesting evening as most people had read his articles in Machine Knitting Monthly magazine and could see them demonstrated by members of the club.
There were several items in the show and tell section, our chairman Gill had created a cushion cover using the plating technique that was covered in the last meeting. There was a hand knitted blue childs jumper and a Batwing sweater using a Bill King design.
