Workshops concentrate on the acquisition of specific couture knitting techniques and follow an intensive, pre-determined curriculum. The first three workshops listed below represent the core of couture knitting techniques and form a comprehensive unit. The Basic Techniques of Couture Knitting should be taken first and is the pre-requisite for Designer Details. Tension, Gauge and the Knitted Fabric may be taken at any point in the sequence.
