STEM in Knitting: Knitting Technology & Creating the Swatch
by Anna Boyd
This is the second lesson of a 4-part series that explores STEM in Knitting. This lesson is optional and requires the teacher to be an experienced knitter either by hand or with a knitting machine. Hand knitting takes longer to learn so that is recommended only for an after-school program.
