Through guided discussion and hands-onknitting, we’ll examine Walker’s clear, influential teaching style whilepracticing techniques that add structure, texture, and interest to knittedfabric. This class blends book-club conversation with skill-building swatchesor blocks and offers insight into why Walker’s explanations remain so effectivedecades later. You just might be inspired to knit the full Afghan after all.
