Join us on a 20-month journey to knit the Great American Aran Afghan. Navigate through an Aran knitting adventure, while expanding your knowledge with intricate cables and charts under our careful guidance.
Here is what you will take away from our virtual Afghan eCourse:
- your cable skills will go from the most basic "anyone can do this" cables to "12-stitch-multi-directional-3-cable-needles-outta-this-world" cables.
- you will become a chart-reading pro
- you will learn additional skills such as seaming with a crochet hook, provisional cast on, grafting, picking up stitches in tight places, short rows, bobbles, and more
- you will make new friends in the fellow knitters joining you in our Afghan eCourse exclusive Facebook Group
- you will have a beautiful, lasting heirloom afghan when you are finished
Here's what past student Joan C. has to say about our course:
Thank you for this course. I learned something new with every square. I loved the challenge and the quality of the finished project. I enjoyed the feeling of connection to a group. This course gave me confidence to take on more difficult patterns. Yes, I have moved beyond knitting socks!
The course includes comprehensive, easy-to-use charts for the afghan squares and each month's lesson contains tips & tricks and video tutorials. Students will need to purchase "The Great American Aran Afghan" book separately. Registered students will receive 15% off yarn purchased for their afghan (yarn and materials are not included in the course price).
If you read this list and said, "Sign me up", then register today. This course only opens up once every two years, so you don't want to miss this opportunity to hop on board.
