Class Location: 1st floor. Minimum Age: Adults Only.Portuguese knitting is a style of knitting that originated in the Middle East around 10 centuries ago and is popular in South America, particularly in countries like Peru and Argentina. It is characterized by minimal hand movement, where the working yarn is tensioned around the neck or a knitting pin, allowing for even stitches and reducing strain on the hands. This method is often used by knitters who experience discomfort with traditional knitting techniques, making it a popular choice for those with arthritis or joint pain. Additionally, Portuguese knitting is known for its efficiency and ergonomic design, allowing knitters to maintain tension without the need to "throw" or "pick" the yarn, which is a common practice in other knitting styles. Supplies to Bring:Yarn in DK to Worsted weight and needles in a size appropriate for the yarn.  You may also need scissors, a tapestry needle and note taking materials.  The instructor will provide a pin for practice.snack and beverages if desired.
