A Cornucopia of Cast Ons and a Bevy of Bind Offs - IP - Winter 2025

*This class fulfills the A Cornucopia of Cast Ons and a Bevy of Bind Offs Requirement for WEKP.

Do you always use the same cast-ons and bind-offs for everything you knit? Here at WEBS, we insist that everyone know the long-tail cast-on and the traditional bind-off, but there is a world of other methods out there which can make your knitted items look very professional indeed: tubular cast-on and bind-off, knitted cast-on, cable cast-on, picot cast-on and bind-off, chained cast-on, provisional cast-on, knit 2 together bind-off, purl 2 together bind-off, I-cord bind-off, yarn-over bind-off, just to name a few. If you'd like to add more style to your knitting, come join us for this class. Required Text: Cast On, Bind Off by Leslie Ann Bestor.

For the comfort and safety of our students and teachers, students may be asked to wear a mask during in person classes and workshops, and masks are available upon request.

Format: In-Person

Materials Required:

About 175 yards of good quality yarn (worsted or DK weight) with plain, smooth texture in a light color, rolled into 7 25-yard balls. Please do not use inexpensive yarn that splits--you will need to see your stitches and not be frustrated by a yarn that splits. Suggested yarns: Valley Yarns Northampton or Valley Superwash / A small amount (a yard or two) of a smilar yarn in a different color / A few yards of mercerized cotton. This is to be used as stitch holders and to make provisional cast ons / Needles in a size recommended by the ball band. Double pointed needles are recommended but not required. / Tapestry needle / Crochet hook in the same or similar size to the needles you are using / Your Knitting Tool Kit/ Required Text: Cast On, Bind Off by Leslie Ann Bestor
