{"product_id":"knitting-with-rudiger-schlomer-preview","title":"Knit Hello! Typographic Knitting from Nametag to Statement Blanket","description":"Learn to write with wool. Whether you are a knitter curious about adding text to your projects, a graphic designer interested in working with tactile materials, or simply someone who enjoys making things with both hands and mind, this workshop offers a unique introduction to typographic knitting. We will begin with an overview of knitting methods such as slip-stitch, patchwork, mosaic, and illusion and their potential for creating letters, words, and patterns. Through ideation, writing, sketching, swatching, and  knitting exercises, you will develop an understanding of the basic principles of typographic knitting  and learn how to apply them to your own words and designs. You will learn to use specially developed typeknitting typefaces Knit Hello and Knit Grotesk and learn how knitted letterforms are constructed, modified, and created. We will experiment with layouts, repetition, scale, and  pattern, sketching and knitting letters and motifs that can grow into larger compositions. By the end of the workshop, you will have a toolkit of methods for combining typography and knitting, as well as ideas and prototypes for future projects—whether that's a small  personal message, an exhibition piece, or a statement blanket.  Basic knitting skills are required, including casting on, knit and purl stitches, and binding off. No prior knowledge of typography is required.","brand":"Rüdiger Schlömer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47713566097602,"sku":null,"price":1700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/5291\/1810\/files\/Rudiger-Schlomer-knitting-1.png?v=1780160994","url":"https:\/\/www.shakerag.org\/products\/knitting-with-rudiger-schlomer-preview","provider":"Shakerag Workshops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
