To successfully complete your machine knitting project, you must follow a few preparation steps. In this workshop we will learn to calculate the number of rows and stitches for our project by creating a technical sample and we will use it in a scarf, neck warmer and toque project. We will discuss the things to avoid when calculating a machine knitting project and the basic rules to follow so that the knitting is well adjusted depending on the project.

At the end of this workshop, you will leave with a technical sample and all the calculations to create finished objects on your knitting machine at home.

TEACHER

Sabrina Boutin

In 2016, while strolling through Old Quebec, Sabrina stumbled upon a knitting machine boutique by pure chance. The following week, she was already working there, learning to operate the knitting machine, unaware that she would embark on a textile construction training course to start a new career the following year. Three years later, armed with her diploma, she founded her own knitting business: La Maille Folle. Upon completing her studies, Sabrina was concerned about the waste generated by textile overconsumption and pondered the role of designers in this context. This led her to decide to offer her knitting product development services to Quebec companies wishing to promote renewable materials and fair labor. Since 2017, she has been assisting several artisans and designers in knitting production or development. She also teaches hand knitting, sharing all her tips and tricks with her students to help them succeed in their projects every time.
