We will cover:
Casting on
Knit stitch and purl stitch to create different patterns
Brims for hats, thumbholes for mittens
Pattern variation - stockinette stitch, rib stitch, cable patterns
Changing colours
Casting off and threading up, adding pom poms and embellishments

Class structured:
Sharing our progress each lesson would be a great way to share and encourage each other, as well as problems we encountered and how we fixed them.
Casting on and e-wrap is the most basic skill, so we will practice this until learners wish to progress to purl stitch.
I will have several projects on different looms, so I can, at any time, talk through different stitches for different projects on different looms. One learner may be working on a hat in e-wrap (knit) only stitch but another may be doing a rib mitten and another a cable cowl. I have a visualiser so I can show all techniques at any time as per learner request.
We may end with sharing of goals or an online quiz related to textiles or knitting.

How will I teach:
I will teacher using my visualiser, showing learners how to complete each type of stitch and invite them to copy and consolidate the skill until they can progress to the next step. I will have several projects on different looms and so be able to tailor teaching to each individual learner - showing different techniques on different looms to ensure every learner progresses.

My teaching style:
I believe it is important to know each individual well, their needs and their next steps, so while showing the skills and techniques on the visualiser I will deliver the support required by each learner. I would encourage discussion and motivations in class, inviting learners to share their knitting goals, and offer any additional assistance in class and through the Classroom upload facility to help learners meet their goals.

Learner-Teacher Interaction:
We will interact constantly on camera. I have a visualiser and learners are welcome to use their own visualisers or reposition their cameras to share their looming work. As well as discussing our technique, what we are finding tricky and how we are improving, we will discuss our motivations, how knitting can be so useful, charity, the value of homemade gifts. Online quizzes about knitting, textiles and textile history are also a nice addition to classes.
